Holistic therapy and trauma healing in North and South Carolina

The Soul Journey Framework

June 25, 2025

Are you constantly running on empty, trying to hold it all together? At The Healing Collective, we provide holistic therapy for individuals in North Carolina and South Carolina who are ready to heal from trauma, reconnect with themselves, and find lasting peace.

Understanding your nervous system and stress responses

Do you feel wired but exhausted? Do you snap at loved ones even when you don’t mean to? These are signs your nervous system is overwhelmed. Trauma shows up in many forms—fight, flight, freeze, and fawn are common stress responses that often come from unprocessed experiences.

At The Healing Collective, our four-stage model for holistic therapy helps you move out of chronic stress, heal underlying emotional wounds, and rebuild trust in yourself. When we learn to feel safe within, we open the door to deeper, healthier relationships.

Virtual holistic therapy that meets you where you are

You juggle endless responsibilities. Making time for therapy shouldn’t be another burden. That’s why we offer effective, virtual holistic therapy to clients across North Carolina and South Carolina—from Charlotte and Raleigh to Charleston and Greenville.

Our approach goes beyond traditional talk therapy. We combine somatic work, inner child healing, experiential therapy, and more—helping you access the parts of you that need care the most.

A four-stage model for sustainable healing

Our holistic therapy model unfolds in four key phases:

1. Safety and Story

We start by helping you feel safe with your therapist. We explore your past to identify the core wounds that continue to affect your present.

2. Self-Trust

You begin to build safety within, shifting your power from external validation to inner strength. You learn to tune in to your needs and boundaries.

3. Reparenting

This stage helps you nurture and support the parts of you that never received what they needed. You learn how to be the loving caregiver you always deserved.

4. Integration

You practice your new tools, beliefs, and habits. This is where lasting change takes root. Our team supports your growth and reevaluates your plan as needed.

Why holistic therapy is the foundation for change

Sometimes the loudest problems seem external—conflict with your partner, your child acting out. But real healing begins within. When you grow your own capacity, you’re better equipped to show up in relationships with compassion and clarity.

That’s why our work with individuals often precedes or complements couples or family therapy. The individual journey sets the stage for systemic healing.

What we treat

Holistic therapy for individuals can help you with:

  • Anxiety, panic, or overwhelm
  • Chronic stress or burnout
  • Depression or emotional numbness
  • Codependency or perfectionism
  • Difficulty setting boundaries
  • Numbing behaviors like overworking or substance use
  • Grief, loss, or life transitions

We help you uncover what’s underneath the symptoms, so you can begin to live with clarity and confidence.

The power of inner child healing

Many of the women and men we work with have spent years ignoring their own needs. Whether from childhood neglect or learned patterns of people-pleasing, the result is the same: disconnection from self.

Inner child work invites you to reconnect with your younger self—the one who was hurt, silenced, or ignored—and offer them the care they needed. This process helps you:

  • Heal early emotional wounds
  • Set healthier boundaries
  • Understand your patterns in relationships
  • Build self-compassion and emotional resilience

You are not too much—and you are not alone

Our clients are often caregivers, professionals, or highly sensitive individuals who have always prioritized others. Saying “yes” to yourself may feel unfamiliar, even uncomfortable.

But healing begins when you choose you.

Our founder, Amber Tolbert, LCSW, shares:

“I learned to hide my needs so others could take priority. I was praised for not needing anything. But over time, I lost my ability to connect with myself. Now, I know that saying no to others means saying yes to me—and that has changed everything.”

This is the work we do at The Healing Collective. We help you build a relationship with yourself, so you can show up fully in every part of your life.
