STEWART THERAPY & WELLNESS

Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our own light

Brene’ Brown

Welcome!

If you are here, you or someone in your world is asking for help navigating life. You've come to the right place. Whether it's you or your family feeling unsettled, anxious, disrupted, stuck or held down by trauma, depression, addiction or negative relational patterns, there is a way forward. Combining years of non-profit experience and community service here in Charlotte and raising a family of her own with personal challenges along the way, Macie is in a unique position to empathetically walk with you toward the life you imagine. Macie Stewart is a Marriage & Family Therapist, Certified Integrative Health Coach, National Certified Counselor and an AAMFT Supervisory Candidate with additional training in mindfulness based stress reduction. She has witnessed first hand the resiliency and strength of the human spirit in overcoming trauma, tragedy and challenging life circumstances. Macie's own life experiences coupled with her work and training, inform her therapeutic relationships with individuals, couples and families. She understands the beautiful, messy chaos of life and would feel privileged to walk with you on this part of your journey toward healing.

MEET MACIE

It’s not fear that gets in the way of showing up, it’s armor. 

It’s the behaviors we use to self-protect. 

But the armor suffocates courage and cages our hearts.

The goal is to create spaces where armor is neither necessary nor rewarded.

Sometimes you just need to talk about something, not to get sympathy or help, but just to kill its power by allowing the truth of things to hit the air.

In any given moment, we have two options: to step forward into growth or to step back into safety.

What clients say

We were struggling. Communication was a big issue, particularly knowing how to argue in a healthy way. Macie made it really comfortable, she listened and we didn't feel judged or rushed. She helped us understand the patterns we each brought with us, how they affected our interactions and gave us things to do for homework so we felt involved in our progress. We feel like we are beginning all over - it's an exciting time for us. We highly recommend Macie.

Married 7 Years
After a sudden family tragedy, Macie helped me find the peace I needed to get through one of the most difficult times of my life.With her guidance, I was able to regain a confidence that I had lost over several years of self-doubt and negative thinking. My time with her is always fulfilling and enlightening, as I learn new things about myself every time I am with her.

Hearing that I was HIV+ was a body blow. I felt like lying down and giving up. Macie heard me and gave me a place to talk because I hadn't told anyone and needed to get my feelings out. I could cry with her. She helped me find hope and believe I was going to have a good life.

Maybe the journey isn't so much about becoming anything. Maybe it's unbecoming everything that isn't you so you can be who you were meant to be in the first place
