Addiction rewires the brain, making it hard to stop without intervention. But healing is possible! With the right treatment, the brain can form new, healthier pathways…a process called neuroplasticity.

Our daytime Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) supports this healing by combining therapy, structure, and community. In a group setting, clients connect with peers who are walking a similar path. Together, they practice new coping skills, share encouragement, and rebuild connections therefore creating positive changes in both the brain and daily life. 💚

Recovery doesn’t have to happen alone. 🌱

🎉 Today marks 18 years of One80 Counseling 👏🏼!

In 2007, our founder, Sarah Coates, LCMHC, opened the doors as a solo private practice - driven by compassion, a heart for people, and a calling to serve. Shortly thereafter, while on maternity leave with her daughter, she took a leap of faith and grew One80 into a group practice. What began as one provider soon became a thriving team of therapists serving individuals and families across the Triangle.

For many years, counseling was our sole focus. And then, just last year, we expanded our services to include medication management and most recently, outpatient substance use treatment. This growth has allowed us to care for our community in deeper, more comprehensive ways.

Eighteen years later, we remain rooted in the same mission: to walk with people through life’s hardest seasons and to offer hope. We like to say “healing happens here”.

To everyone who has been a part of our story: clients, team members, referral partners, and friends, we are so grateful. 💚

Here’s to 18 years and the future ahead!

💊 Medication Tip ⬇️

If your medication for anxiety or depression makes you feel flat, numb, or disconnected, this is something to talk about with your provider.

You deserve to feel better without feeling “zombified.” Emotional blunting (feeling emotionally shut down) can be a sign that your current treatment isn’t the best fit.

✨ There are other options available—medication adjustments, therapy, or supplements—that may help you feel more like yourself. Don’t settle for feeling detached.

Your mental health journey should include living life fully, not just surviving. 💚

“Ilaria is awesome, honestly :) I never really was for the whole therapy thing and would be inconsistent. Now I enjoy wanting to get better and that was all thanks to her help and guidance.”

We love to hear it! ✨

🌟 A safe space to talk openly without judgment.

🌟 Guided conversations to explore thoughts, feelings, and patterns.

🌟 New tools to learn and build coping skills and ways to manage stress.

🌟 Progress, not perfection, as you take small steps that lead to big change.

Clinically, therapy can support deep healing from a past trauma or simply offer a safe place to talk through a challenging season of life. At One80, we have therapists for everyone - serving all ages, backgrounds, and life experiences. Ready to start your journey? Call 919‑772‑1990 or email info@one-eightycounseling.com to schedule an appointment. ✨
