meet nejla (she/her)
Hi, I'm Nejla deLambert, LCMHC. I offer accessible and affirming therapy for adults in North Carolina.
Whether you’re angry, afraid, lonely, confused or just numb — wherever you are — I'll go there with you. We’ll start from there, moving along this process toward healing at a pace that feels steady and purposeful.
Here’s what I believe: I am the mental health expert — but you’re the expert on you. In our work together, I’ll never forget that. Therapy with me is a partnership—a collaboration where we’ll tap into my skills for fostering growth and your wisdom about your own life.
Unfiltered. Unedited. As real as they come.
What does that mean? It means that I get it – I understand how hard life can be. It also means that when you walk into my office - whether in-person or virtually - I welcome you just as you are.

Why Stokewell?
Stoke means to illuminate, to spark, to fuel — to light. And wells? They’re symbolic of the intention to dive deep into the unknown and come up refreshed.
Stokewell Counseling was founded on this principle: that we can be refreshed by hope and healing when we commit to doing the work of illuminating our darkest places.
Is it easy work or quick work? Not usually.
But I’ve made it my mission to ensure that it’s safe work — that lights your path to hope and healing.
