Apex calls itself the "Peak of Good Living," and it has earned the title. Tucked into southwest Wake County, it's a fast-growing family community where neighbors still gather on the historic downtown sidewalks, kids fill the ball fields on Saturday mornings, and new cul-de-sacs keep welcoming young families. But a full, busy life — with school schedules, soccer practice, a long Triangle commute, and the steady hum of raising children — can leave very little room to look after your own heart and mind. That's where we come in.
Family Life Resources is led by Ginny Porowski, LCMHC, who is currently accepting new clients. For Apex families, the easiest first step is usually secure video telehealth. Because Ginny is licensed across North Carolina, you can meet from anywhere in the state — including every corner of Apex — over a private, encrypted link. There's no app to wrestle with and no commute to budget for. Counseling simply slots into the gaps you already have: after the morning drop-off, on a work-from-home lunch break, or once the house finally goes quiet at night.
If you'd rather meet face to face, you're always welcome at our office in North Raleigh at 8218 Creedmoor Road. From most of Apex it's about a 25 to 30 minute drive, typically by jumping on I-540 and looping around the north side of town to Creedmoor Road. Some families like to mix the two — an in-person visit now and then to build that comfortable rapport, with video sessions filling in when work, weather, or a packed weekend gets in the way. The care stays exactly the same either way.
We work with individuals, couples, and parents throughout Apex, the Friendship area, west Cary, and the communities near Holly Springs, including the 27502 and 27523 ZIP codes. People reach out to us for a wide range of reasons:
- Marriage and couples counseling — rebuilding connection when parenting, money, and two busy calendars leave little time for each other.
- Anxiety counseling — easing the worry, overwhelm, and racing thoughts that come with holding a household together.
- Depression therapy — finding light and motivation again when the days feel gray, heavy, or simply flat.
- Grief and loss counseling — making room to mourn a loved one, a season, or a future that looked different than you'd hoped.
- Christian counseling — inviting faith into the work if that matters to you; completely optional, and all are warmly welcome.
- Life and career coaching — sorting through transitions, direction, and the question of what a meaningful next chapter looks like.
What ties every session together is a calm, hopeful, and practical approach. Ginny brings more than thirty years of experience and a holistic outlook — she pays attention to the whole person, not just a single symptom on a form. For many Apex parents, the hope isn't only to feel a little less stressed; it's to be more present at the dinner table, more patient with the people they love, and more grounded in their own sense of purpose.
Starting is meant to feel easy and low-pressure. Every new client is invited to a free 10-minute phone consultation, so you can ask questions and sense whether it's a good fit before you commit to anything. Regular sessions are $160 for 50 minutes, with superbills available for out-of-network reimbursement and HSA/FSA cards accepted. If you live or work in Apex and you've been telling yourself you'll "get to this someday," let today be the day. One unhurried conversation can bring real clarity — and you don't have to reshuffle your whole week to have it.
