Therapy tailored to you.
At Renewed Wellness Counseling, we believe mental health care should be customized to fit your specific needs, goals, and life circumstances.
Our team of therapists takes the time to understand what makes you unique. No two people are exactly alike, and no two therapy journeys should be either.
We make it easy to access care, whether online across North Carolina and South Carolina or in person in New Bern, NC.
Why We Started Renewed Wellness
Sometimes the best solutions come from personal experience.
Our founder, Marcy Arnold, was navigating her own chronic health challenges while trying to balance family, work, and everything else that life demands.
The problem? Finding mental health care that actually fit into real life felt nearly impossible.
Traditional therapy meant taking time off work, arranging childcare, and adding yet another appointment to an already overwhelming schedule. Even worse, many providers didn’t understand how physical health, life circumstances, and mental wellness are all connected.
So she set out to create something different. A practice built for people who need therapy that meets them where they are, both literally and emotionally.
Today, Marcy’s mission is simple: to be the therapist she wished she’d had during her own difficult seasons – while providing the flexibility people need to actually get the help they keep putting off.
Why Renewed Wellness?
The name “Renewed Wellness” reflects the work we do.
“Renewed” is about rediscovering what may have been lost along the way (your energy, confidence, or belief in your own strength) and building on it to become even stronger.
“Wellness” represents returning to a place of balance, wholeness, and a deep connection to your true self.
It’s a guiding principle woven into every session, whether you’re joining us for counseling from Charlotte, Raleigh, Asheville, New Bern, or anywhere you call home in North or South Carolina.

What We Value
Real Understanding
We see you as a whole person, not just a diagnosis. We take time to learn your full story, not just symptoms, but how your relationships, health, environment, and experiences all connect.
Flexibility That Works
Some days leaving the house is hard. Some weeks are busier than others. We work with your reality, not against it.
Getting to What Matters
We help you understand patterns and create lasting change. Even the uncomfortable stuff that might have been avoided before.
Authentic Connection
Many of our therapists have lived through the challenges they help others navigate. We bring real-world understanding, not just textbook knowledge.
Quality Over Quantity
We stay small on purpose. We are big enough to have specialists for different needs, but small enough to really know each client.
Complete Transparency
Clear communication about our process, fees, and what to expect. We believe in ethical practice, which includes making appropriate referrals when needed.
Our Team
Each therapist on our team was intentionally chosen to be a part of Renewed Wellness Counseling because of their specialties, training, and lived experiences.
We’re not just a group of mental healthcare providers who happen to work together. We’re a carefully selected team where each person brings something unique.
Our team includes people who understand:
- Living with chronic and invisible illness
- Military culture and deployment challenges
- The complexity of motherhood and identity changes
- The emotional weight that comes with relationship ups and downs
- Trauma and how it can show up in your life
- Being "the strong one" when you're exhausted
- Feeling misunderstood by healthcare systems
When we match you with someone, we connect you with a therapist who truly understands what you’re going through and can help you get back to thriving, not just surviving.

Where We're Headed
We’re expanding to better serve our community. This fall, we’re adding more in-person therapy options in New Bern, NC to support our Eastern North Carolina community, because some people heal better or simply prefer face-to-face care.
Our mission stays the same: Quality mental health care that actually fits into your life, whether that’s in person or online, whichever feels most comfortable for you.
