NICHOLE LENTZ, LCMHC

Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor

I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor. I am a Statesville native and love my community, my town, and helping others. I have worked in the counseling field for 10 years. I specialize in helping children, teens and adults with the many struggles and obstacles they face using Cognitive Behavioral theory as well as Client-centered and Mindfulness practices.

My goal is to meet my clients where they are in their lives and help them find their new pathway to peace and strength.

MADISON SMITH, LCSW

Licensed Clinical Social Worker

Hello! I am Maddie Smith, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with six years of experience working with children, teens, and adults. 

You don’t have to navigate life’s challenges alone! I provide therapy services for children, teens, and adults maneuvering through life’s obstacles. My specialties include helping you work through anxiety, stress, life transitions, depression, and self-esteem concerns. As an LCSW, I strive to create a supportive, nonjudgemental space where clients feel safe to explore their experiences and build practical tools for healing and growth.  

I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Modular Approach to Therapy for Children with Anxiety, Depression, Trauma, and Conduct Issues (MATCH-ADTC), and strengths based techniques in my therapy practice. 

My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in evidence-based practices while maintaining a cozy, approachable atmosphere. I believe therapy should feel authentic and empowering and I tailor sessions to meet each client’s unique needs and goals.

Thank you for considering me to help you along your voyage through life. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you.     

CHEREE CARDWELL, M.A.

Life Coach

I am a licensed School Counselor with 9 years experience working with high school students, and a certified fitness instructor for 12 years. My husband Mark and I just celebrated our 23rd anniversary, and we have 3 wonderful children. 

My focus is on holistic health, and I believe that comes from having a well balanced lifestyle based on physical, mental and social/emotional wellness.

I specialize in college and career planning for students grade 8-12. I love to help students plan and apply to college, and give them the tools that will help them be competitive in earning scholarship money.  

I love to share my passion about fitness and nutrition planning, and their connection to our holistic health, coaching others through life's transitions, and helping others with organizational skill development and goal setting as a way to find peace in the chaos.

My goal is alway to help others find their own path through strength, knowledge, and inner peace.

Our Vision…

Arrows symbolize strength, moving toward your goals, unity and love. New Arrows Counseling is here to help people find their strength, move in the new direction of their goals in life, help unify families and relationships and help individuals find the self-love we all deserve.
