Destiny Faison (she/her), MA, LCMHCA, NCC
Outpatient Psychotherapist in Midtown Raleigh
My name is Destiny Faison (she/her/hers), and I am thrilled to be a part of the Three Oaks team as an Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Associate (#A21993) and Outpatient Psychotherapist. I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from East Carolina University and received my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Wake Forest University. From a young age, I have always had a passion for helping others. Making a difference in people’s lives and in society has always been my aspiration. My desire is to help people be their best selves by giving hope and guidance during life challenges.
I have experience in working with diverse populations, including adolescents and adults facing challenges such as depression, anxiety, eating disorders, trauma, life transitions, grief/loss, faith-based issues, anger, attachment, academic stress, stress management, and other interpersonal issues. I maintain an eclectic therapeutic approach, rooted in the belief that therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all. I incorporate evidence-based practices such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Solution-Focused Therapy to meet each client where they are. I strive to create a space that honors the diverse backgrounds and identities of every person I work with including differences in race, gender, sexual orientation, ability, culture, and spirituality.
I understand that beginning therapy can feel intimidating or even overwhelming. My overall goal is to create a safe, compassionate space where clients feel seen, heard, and supported. I work to build a genuine, trusting relationship with each person, helping them rediscover their self-worth, develop healthy coping strategies, and remember they’re not alone in this journey.
In my free time I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, traveling, trying new foods, and relaxing. I am very excited for this journey and truly honored to walk alongside my clients on their healing journey. I look forward to working with you!
