Don Morrison - LCSW
My name is Donald R. Morrison, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 16 years of experience working in the mental health field. I received my Bachelors in Psychology from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH), and I later obtained my Masters in Social Work (MSW) from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte (UNC-C). (And on some days, you may be able to meet our Unofficial Office Mascot, Lola!!! She is a Shiz-Tzu who loves everybody, especially if you give her treats!)
Throughout my career, I have worked as a psychotherapist in numerous mental health hospital settings, outpatient programs and school-based services. I most recently ended a 10-year stint as an adjunct professor in the MSW program at UNC-Charlotte, where I taught courses on psychopathology, family practice, group work and crisis intervention. I am also certified in clinical supervision by NASW-NC, and I provide clinical oversight for provisionally licensed clinicians.
My specialties in the field of mental health include working with children, teens and adults living with depression, anxiety, ADHD, ODD, OCD, PTSD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, difficulties with life transitions, relationship problems, LGBTQIA+ issues and struggles with self-esteem. I am a cognitive-behavioral therapist who focuses on exploring and challenging your thoughts, feelings and behaviors in a healthy, action-oriented manner. I also utilize a person-centered, strengths-based approach to treatment, as I totally believe that you are already AWESOME, and that YOU are the expert on what is going on with YOU!!
Jenny Greene - LCSW
My name is Jenny Greene, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who has been working with children since 1994. I worked for Mecklenburg County Early Intervention Services from 1994-2008, providing service coordination as well as specializing in educational services, helping to enhance the development in children from ages 0-3.
I became a stay-at-home Mom until receiving my master’s in social work and becoming a Licensed Clinical Social Worker Associate. I worked for an agency providing Behavioral Mental Heath Services for children between the ages of 4-17.
Due to the pandemic, I chose to open a private practice to continue to do in-person therapy with children. Telehealth therapy is appropriate for older children, and that is available within my practice (based on insurance coverage and health needs). However, I believe that younger children need face to face interactions to help them reach their fullest potential and get the most out of their therapeutic interventions.

Erin L. McAdams, LCMHCS, LCAS, CCS
Would you like to create space for work/ life balance? Would it be helpful to learn more about the connection between your behaviors, feelings, and thoughts? Are you ready to talk about coping strategies? I work collaboratively with individuals and families to manage stressors, feelings of stress and anxiety, and cope with addictions. I help clients develop coping strategies that may challenge past thoughts and behaviors but lead toward the accomplishment of goals.
My therapeutic approach primarily utilizes Cognitive-Behavioral, Person-Centered, Solution Focused, and Motivational Interviewing techniques. Specifically, in the field of addiction, my approach is congruent with the biopsychosocial model of addiction (biological, social, and psychological risk factors considered). I integrate a combination of mindfulness techniques, therapeutic activities and dialogue in sessions.
I am grateful to have had the opportunity to work in the mental health and addictions fields in a variety of settings (treatment centers, outpatient mental health hospital, schools, and private practice) providing both counseling and clinical supervision. I attended UNC-Chapel Hill completing a BA in Psychology in 1995 and a MA in Community Counseling from Appalachian in 1999.
Overall, I will work with you to find the treatment plan that is most specific to you and your goals. Sometimes, it is simply reminding ourselves of what worked before and getting back on track, and other times it is about learning something never practiced before.
