Counseling and Psychotherapy



John K. Ormond, Jr. M.Th., L.P.C

Counseling and psychotherapy of all types are available at the Center for individuals, couples and families. Just for example, we offer:

  • Talk therapy for individuals of all ages, from children to senior citizens
  • Couples counseling
  • Family counseling
  • Group therapy
  • Stress management therapy
  • Mediation for groups of all kinds
  • Life coaching and counseling for personal growth and behavioral change
  • Intervention counseling, preparation and assistance
  • Addiction therapy; assistance with referral/healing
  • Grief counseling
  • Jungian analysis

Our therapists are highly trained, licensed practitioners with varied experience obtained over a combined total of more than 50 years of practice. They have advanced degrees and have been trained in a wide range of therapeutic approaches including Transactional Analysis, Gestalt therapy, Redecision therapy, pastoral counseling, geriatric adjustment and Jungian analysis—as well as the “graduate school” of longtime daily experience with clients. This combination of varied training and many years of real-world experience is important in a counseling practice, as it ensures that whoever walks through our door will be approached and treated in a way that makes the most sense for that particular person and situation.

First and foremost, the Center’s counselors are committed to meeting the needs of our clients and we freely refer, when appropriate, both in-house and to outside individuals or agencies. Our knowledge of other resources in the area and nationwide is extensive. At the same time, our counselors are completely committed to maintaining their clients’ privacy; nothing is shared with other professionals without the client’s express permission. This makes for a secure environment in which the client can relax knowing that his needs are being addressed with discretion and in confidence.

Appointments or inquiries may be made by calling our main number, 910-509-0444, during office hours Monday through Friday, 9:00 am – 4:30 pm.

Dennis also serves on the New Hanover County (5th District) Adult Drug Treatment Court as a treatment provider and consultant.

Awareness, education, and intervention are key to changing a life of dependence on mind and mood altering drugs and behaviors. Compassionate and genuine empathy is essential in guiding those seeking freedom from the bondage of addiction and a life of destructive decisions and behaviors. By thinking, feeling, and acting for change, the cycle of physical, mental, and emotional addiction can be broken, leading to a life of self control and confidence in the future.

Mike Maiocco BS, MCH

Master Hypnotherapist
Life and Wellness Coach
Fitness Trainer
Sports Nutrition Consultant

Mike started his Body-Mind connection studies in the early 1980?s when he suddenly began to feel anxiety for no apparent reason. It started to restrict his everyday activities and he knew he needed to find the answers. He started searching and found Silva Mind Development. He was so impressed with the results Mike earned a certification to teach The Relaxation Seminar. Many years later he began his Hypnosis practice and finally learned the root cause of those early fears. By utilizing Age Regression Hypnotherapy he released the negative emotions that was the root cause of the anxiety.

He has successfully helped folks face their fears and gently release the negative energy imbedded in them and return to happy productive lives. Along with Healing Regression Hypnotherapy he uses Gentle Direct Suggestion Hypnosis for weight loss, smoking cessation, athletic performance, self-confidence, stress and other issues. He records the Direct Suggestion Hypnosis portion of your session on your IPod or a CD while you are being hypnotized. At the end of the session you receive this recording to take home with you. The more you listen to this recording the faster you will see results. The key to transformation is repetition. The more you see/hear/experience your goals, the more they become real and achievable for you.

With Gently Hypnosis and Healing Hypnotherapy Mike can help you....

....relax at will and learn self-hypnosis
... control stress and anxiety
... improve your health
... lose unwanted weight and keep it off
