About My Practice

I started Capitolo Counseling & Wellness because I believe real support should be accessible, not something you have to fight for.Too often, the people who need care most are the ones least likely to ask for it because they're busy holding everything together for everyone else. I wanted to build a practice that meets people where they actually are, not where a rigid system expects them to be.That's why I offer both therapy and clinical assessment, work with insurance as well as private pay, and keep scheduling flexible enough to fit into a demanding, real life. Support shouldn't come with more barriers than the problem you're already carrying.As a military spouse and former HR professional with nearly two decades of experience, I've lived what high-pressure environments actually feel like, not just studied them. That experience shapes how I practice: with practical insight, genuine understanding, and zero judgment.This is a space where you don't have to perform, manage, or hold it together. You just have to show up.

Meet Your Therapist

Andrea Capitolo, LCMHCAI work with high-performing individuals who are used to managing pressure, meeting expectations, and pushing through—often at the expense of their own well-being. My approach is direct, focused, and results-oriented. Clients come to me when they are ready for meaningful change, not just insight, but forward movement.Before becoming a therapist, I spent nearly two decades in human resources. That experience gives me a practical understanding of workplace dynamics, leadership pressure, burnout, and career transitions. I don’t just understand these challenges clinically—I understand how they show up in real life.I am an EMDR-trained therapist which allows me to support both deep emotional processing and structured, solution-focused work. Therapy with me is collaborative, but it is not passive. I help you identify patterns, process experiences that continue to impact you, and build the clarity and resilience needed to move forward.As a military spouse and parent of teens, I understand the realities of constant transition, high expectations, and the need to stay steady through change. That perspective informs my work in a way that is both grounded and practical.If you are used to being the one others rely on—but are ready to feel more clear, more in control, and more like yourself again—you’re in the right place.

Areas of Focus

I work with high-performing individuals who are holding it all together, professionally, academically, and personally, while quietly running on empty. My approach is direct, collaborative, and focused on real forward movement, not just insight.Anxiety & OverthinkingConstant mental noise, racing thoughts, and the pressure to get everything “right” can be exhausting. Therapy focuses on helping you slow down your mind, regulate your emotions, and feel more grounded and in control.Burnout & Career FatigueWhen work becomes overwhelming, draining, or misaligned, it impacts every part of your life. With a background in human resources, therapy includes both emotional support and practical insight to help you recover from burnout, set boundaries, and move forward with clarity.Life Transitions & Military Family SupportFrequent moves, role changes, and starting over can leave you feeling unsteady or disconnected. This work is designed to help you navigate transition with confidence and rebuild a sense of stability and identity.Trauma & Emotional ProcessingSome experiences continue to impact how you think, feel, and respond. EMDR therapy helps process those experiences so they no longer carry the same emotional weight, allowing you to move forward with greater ease.High-Achieving TeensTeens today face intense academic, social, and internal pressure. Therapy provides a structured, supportive space to manage anxiety, build confidence, and develop healthy coping skills early.ADHD & Autism Assessment
Many adults reach adulthood without ever being evaluated for ADHD or autism, often because symptoms looked different than expected or were missed entirely. I offer clinical assessment using standardized tools and a thorough clinical interview to help you finally understand how your mind works, not just receive a label.

Billing & Fees

How You Can Work With MeI want therapy to be accessible, which is why I offer several ways to pay for care.InsuranceI am in-network with BCBS of North Carolina and NC Medicaid. If you have one of these plans, we can typically verify your benefits before your first session so you know exactly what to expect.Private PayFor clients who prefer to work outside of insurance, or whose plan isn't in-network, private pay is also available. This option offers a highly personalized, discreet, and results-oriented therapeutic experience.Working privately allows for greater flexibility in how we approach your care. There are no required diagnoses, no limitations on the number of sessions, and no third-party influence on the direction or pace of your treatment. This creates space for more meaningful, individualized work that aligns with your specific needs and priorities. For many clients, it also offers an added layer of privacy.Out-of-Network ReimbursementIf you have out-of-network benefits through a different insurance provider, you may be eligible for partial reimbursement. I can provide a superbill upon request for you to submit to your insurance company. Coverage and reimbursement vary by plan, so I recommend contacting your provider directly to confirm your specific benefits. For many clients, this also offers an added level of privacy and discretion.FSA & HSATherapy is an eligible expense under most Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) and Health Savings Accounts (HSA). If you have one of these accounts, you can typically use those funds to cover your sessions, whether you're paying privately or covering a copay. I'm happy to provide a receipt or superbill that includes the information needed for reimbursement. If you're unsure whether your plan qualifies, your HSA or FSA administrator can confirm what's eligible.
