A Survivor Who Became a Healer
Torrie Powell, LCSW, LCAS, built Emerging Hearts Mental Wellness Center from personal experience with trauma, anxiety, and the long road back to wholeness. She knows what it costs to carry pain alone, and what becomes possible when you do not have to anymore.
Torrie Powell is a licensed faith-based therapist in Fayetteville, NC, serving adults 21 and older across North Carolina through 100% virtual sessions. As founder of Emerging Hearts Mental Wellness Center, she specializes in trauma therapy, anxiety treatment, depression counseling, grief support, and addiction recovery, combining clinical precision with biblical integration and nutritional psychoeducation.
Why Did Torrie Powell Become a Faith-Based Therapist?
For years, Torrie Powell carried the weight of sexual trauma, anxiety, and depression without the language or the tools to name what was happening. Like many of her clients, she had learned to perform "okay" while quietly struggling. She kept moving. She kept functioning. But the fog never fully lifted.
Then, in 2022, she discovered that a gluten intolerance had been fueling her symptoms for years. Fatigue, brain fog, and mood disruption had been quietly compounding the emotional weight she was already carrying. When she changed how she nourished her body, her recovery accelerated in ways she had not expected.
That discovery changed everything about how she practices therapy.
"I do not just look at your history," she says. "I look at your health. The mind, the body, and the spirit are connected in ways that most therapy does not address. That is what Emerging Hearts is built to change."
Born and raised in Fayetteville, NC, and married to a U.S. Army veteran, Torrie brings deep personal roots and professional training to every session. Her practice is not generic talk therapy. It is a space where your full story, emotional, physical, and spiritual, is taken seriously from the first conversation. Clients searching for a trauma therapist near Fayetteville or a virtual counselor in North Carolina find in Torrie someone who understands both the clinical and personal dimensions of healing.
