COLLEEN HART, LCMHC, LCAS, NCC
Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor, North Carolina.
Licensed Clinical Addiction Specialist.
National Certified Counselor.
Hello, I’m Colleen, a Founder of Fresh Insight Counseling.
I work with adolescents and adults dealing with anxiety, depression, grief and loss, life changes, relationship concerns, chronic health conditions, or concerns related to alcohol or substance use. I have a particular interest in working with women at different stages of life.
My experience in primary care has shaped how I understand the connection between emotional and physical health.
Counseling gives us a place to look at what you’ve been through, what’s happening now, and how it may be affecting you. My work includes Narrative Therapy, Solution Focused Brief Therapy, and trauma informed Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Counseling is a conversation, but it is also work. We make connections and work through what needs attention.
I earned my Master’s degree in Counseling from North Carolina Central University, where I also completed graduate training in addiction counseling. I also earned a Master’s degree in Journalism from Regent University, a Christian university. My studies in writing have shaped how I listen and how I think about people’s experiences.
My Christian faith is central to who I am and to the way I approach my work. I’ve been married for over 30 years and am the mother of three adult children. My faith and family are an important part of who I am.
Job 14:7 to 9 captures the heart behind Fresh Insights Counseling:
“For there is hope for a tree,
If it is cut down, that it will sprout again,
And that its tender shoots will not cease.
Though its root may grow old in the earth,
And its stump may die in the ground,
Yet at the scent of water it will bud
And bring forth branches like a plant.”
