Our Story
In the year 1994, Verna Dority incorporated this practice as Verna Dority, MSW, CCSW Inc. * This was during the period when the social workers within the State of North Carolina were able to be certified but not licensed. Later, NC Social Workers became Licensed instead of Certified thus LCSW is now following the names of Licensed Clinical Social Workers.
Verna Dority, MSW, CCSW, Inc began as a small counseling corporation with only one therapist -Verna. Later there was a “Doing Business As” or “DBA” name of Carolina Counseling Services added.
Verna gradually started contracting with other licensed therapists who shared her client centered values. The practice has grown so well that it now offers more than 35 therapists in 6 cities and will continue to grow to meet the counseling needs of the people in these communities.
In SEP 2017, Verna added two Managing Directors to help her with growth and continuity of this expanding practice. As of April 2020, Ebone Rocker, MA, LCMHCS, and Jaime Fitzpatrick, MS, LCMHCS, LCAS became partial owners, with Verna Dority, MSW, LCSW, maintaining the majority ownership.

We so much look forward to working with you!
