Loula Kontoulas, LMFT

I am an experienced marriage and family therapist specializing in cancer and cancer survivorship, infertility and reproductive trauma, chronic illness and complex medical conditions, and grief and loss. In my experience working with oncology patients, I learned how cancer can impact your life and how illness and physical vulnerability can affect your emotional wellbeing and sense of safety. I specialize in helping individuals and families cope with the difficulties and unique circumstances of dealing with life-altering illness and medical challenges.

While I love working with health issues, I also work with many other life concerns, from life transitions to helping couples connect. I believe we all have the potential to grow through challenges. Rather than living in distress, we can find ways to ease through the difficulties of life. Through my work with cancer patients, I developed a therapeutic framework based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients with various issues move from distress toward peace. In addition, I understand that one size does not fit all, so I use an integrative approach that draws from several disciplines.

In addition to in-person visits, I provide telehealth visits in NC and SC and can provide a free consultation before we meet to make sure you feel comfortable with moving forward. I would be truly honored to be a part of your journey, and I thank you for your consideration.
