FCNC lives out 4 values:  Community, Creativity, Education, and Empowerment.  

These values guide FCNC's therapy techniques, local involvement, and/or session options.

FCNC offers both virtual and in-person sessions.  

FCNC's  services are trauma-informed and for adults 18+ who are located in NC during the session

FCNC is LGBTQIA+ affirming.

Community

We are human beings sharing a planet.

Community Matters!

Nurturing tools in healthy communication & boundaries, inviting in joy, increasing daily balance are all helpful in flourishing community. 

FCNC hopes and works towards generational healing for our community so that all of thriving is a legacy! 

Creativity

Creativity generates a safe outlet of expression & processing.

Sometimes words aren't the step in healing but creating can be.

Creativity also includes flexible thinking so options, choices, & solutions can generate beyond our survival mode.

Creativity is a path in nurturing our authentic, healthy selves.

Education

Life doesn't fit in a box.

Education can assist in navigating life.

FCNC assists clients in matching coping skills that work for them.

Education helps clients with skills that fit into every day life.

Coping skills decrease intensity & frequency of challenging symptoms and increase joy, balance, and sustainability.

​

FCNC offers workshops and trainings for social groups, professionals, schools, and more.

Empowerment

When having a history of trauma or experiencing confusion about mental health, it can cause feelings of just trying to survive instead of experiencing joy and serenity.  

FCNC is here to empower clients through the power of choice, knowledge, & healing.

Empowerment allows all of us not to be captive to our past, but rather it is part of our journey, not the definition of it.  Living each day with steps of healing and balance.
