While we work to remove the stigma in our community through education and awareness. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ccc2f923e2682bdf0d13e9/1658175929514-BMULI4QXR86Y6NO29M1Z/dragonfly+4.jpg About - About our Vision of being client-centered and connected to the community! Fortitude Counseling and Wellness services was started by our Clinical Director, Beth Salter, as a side business when she worked for a community mental health provider. That’s eventually became the clinical Director for one of the offices for that community mental health provider and felt clients for not being put first and clinicians were burn out. She then went to work for a group private practice as a contractor and felt that they weren’t connected enough to the community. This is how the idea of Fortitude Counseling & Wellness Services was born to provide services that were centered around with the clients’ needs and connect with the community needs. She still wanted to provide services that were easily accessible and affordable. Beth also did not want a wait list, when people called to get an appointment, she wanted them to have someone to see within a week. And someone decides to see a therapist or counselor they are ready for help now and if they have to wait for weeks, they may change their mind. The business started with Beth as the only therapist and as her caseload got full, she added another therapist. This has continued to be the business model to ensure that our client’s never have to wait weeks for their first appointment. Fortitude also offered sliding fee scale for those that cannot afford services. We are currently planning to start a nonprofit to have funds to help people pay for services at any provider they choose. That is why there is a fundraiser for the new building expenses, as this will help keep overhead low so we can continue to offer low-cost services to those in need. https://www.fortitudecounselingnc.com/team daily 0.75 2026-06-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ccc2f923e2682bdf0d13e9/be65680c-0078-46bd-9c70-134dab88bec9/Counselor+North+Carolina+and+Florida Team - Clinical Director/Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Beth Salter, LCMHCS, LCAS You are the expert on your life; therefore, I use a collaborative approach to therapy driven by your input.

Do you feel as though you have lost pieces of yourself and are unsure of who you are or what you want? Have memories of the past or worries about the future prevented you from living the life you desire? My commitment as your counselor is to help you gain a better understanding of yourself and your personal experiences. Together we will explore and identify any barriers and obstacles keeping you stuck, and implement skills and strategies to help you reduce anxiety, improve mood, strengthen relationships, and foster growth. My goal as your counselor is to provide you with the space and skills to move from where you are to where you want to be. My intention when working with Teens (13+) and Adults in individual sessions is to make sure that you feel heard, understood, and respected throughout our time together. My primary areas of focus include, but are not limited to: ADHD, Anxiety, Depression, Grief, Relationship Struggles, Parenting, Military Members & Families, and Adjustment issues. Foundationally, I tend to lead toward a Person-Centered therapeutic approach, but integrate various methods and interventions from Psychodynamic Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) depending on what fits best for each client. I cannot promise to change your circumstances or behaviors, but I can promise to provide you with a supportive, non-judgemental, safe space to facilitate healing and promote growth. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ccc2f923e2682bdf0d13e9/3d29ea44-6626-43d0-a1e9-eca9c39283c7/Taikarasaunders.png Team Taikara Saunders, Counselor Intern My name is Taikara Saunders, and I am a mental health counselor in training who is passionate about helping people uncover their strengths, overcome challenges, and experience lasting personal growth.

I collaborate with each client to build insight, develop coping skills, and create pathways toward healthier patterns and meaningful change. My background in criminal justice and mental health has given me a deep understanding of the complexities people face when trying to rebuild their lives. I strive to meet each client with empathy, respect, and cultural sensitivity, ensuring that the therapeutic process feels safe, inclusive, and empowering.
