Please help us welcome a new member to our team here at Clientfirst Behavioral Health!!!

I am Xaria Hudson, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker Associate (LCSW-A) with a Licensed Clinical Addiction Specialist (LCAS), originally from Goldsboro, NC. I’m thrilled to be back in my hometown, serving the community I know and love. I completed my Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) at the University of North Carolina in Charlotte and earned my Master of Social Work (MSW) from Walden University. Since 2021, I have worked in the mental health field, beginning my career supporting children and later transitioning into substance abuse and mental health therapy. My passion lies in helping individuals navigate their mental health journey, and I specialize in using cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to empower my clients. Outside of my work, I enjoy reading, spending time with family and friends, and exploring my creative side through various hobbies. I'm dedicated to supporting those in need and excited to be making a positive impact in my community.

Please call and schedule an appointment with me at 919-330-4367.
