I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker licensed to practice in North Carolina. My approach is trauma-informed and client-centered. I use elements of Solution Focused Brief Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Cognitive Behavior Therapy depending on you as my client and your needs. Therapy is as individual as each client and is not a one size fits all process. I've worked with adults at all life stages, from young adulthood through senior citizenry. I want to work with you to find the best approach for you and your expectations of therapy.

Loneliness is the worst. Isolation shows up in many forms, including shame, stress, mistrust, and unproductive conflict. People grow and heal in the context of secure relationships, and I aim to help clients create and sustain them. It's my pleasure to work with couples, partnerships and individuals who are experiencing distress, coping with trauma, or struggling with identity development.

In my therapy work, I helps client to navigate through different stages of life and how they affect their presenting problems. I work with individuals who have dual/differential diagnosis using empirically validated techniques such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). I use empirically validated behavioral therapies to allow me to take a focused, action-oriented approach to help clients change their behavior responses. I use motivational interviewing skills to empower clients to change by drawing on their own meaning, importance, and capacity to create change.

Are you craving deeper connection with yourself? This journey is multifaceted and sometimes feels impossible. It often requires learning how to relate to ourselves and our realities in new ways that challenge us at first. Having the support of a fellow human that has passion, experience and tools to offer in this process can help! Many of us have not experienced many connections that make us feel safe, understood, accepted, and encouraged. Providing this therapeutic space is an honor for me. I would love to meet you where you are, offer my full attention to your needs, and collaborate with you to identify your ideal steps forward.

Educated, licensed, and in clinical practice since 2018 in the Bay Area, CA, I'm a licensed therapist (LMFTA) who recently moved my practice to Durham. Primarily trained in Gestalt therapy, I also practice Internal Family Systems (IFS), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) for couples, and other somatic, experiential, mindfulness-based modalities. Anxiety, depression, chronic illness, infertility, loss, explorations of identity, communication issues, deepening intimacy, and building trust are a few of the challenges that bring clients to me.

Are you frustrated with family, friends, love life, or lack thereof? Are you struggling to create and/or maintain friendships? We aren't always able to choose the challenges we face in life, and, as a result, we may feel overwhelmed and powerless to change them. If you are struggling with communication in your relationships or have trouble creating and/or maintaining boundaries, I can help. Let's explore these challenges together, work on new ways to approach them, and examine how you can learn from these challenges to support improved relationships and decrease frustration.

If you are struggling with depression, anxiety, or are overwhelmed with the stressors of everyday life, know that help is available. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who will listen to everything you bring to the table without judgement and offer support through your troubles.

I see individual adults with a range of therapeutic interests. Some are feeling confused, afraid, ashamed or curious about their gender or sexual identities. Others want to improve communication in relationships they rely on to get their needs met or that they turn to for deep meaning. Some clients are struggling after losing a beloved person, pet, home, or other significant place or relationship, including by suicide, accident, disaster or violence. Still others are laboring on the front lines for justice, autonomy, self-determination and collective liberation in the face of interlocking systemic oppressions and personal trauma.

Are you struggling with achieving happiness and fulfillment in your life? Do you find it difficult to overcome the fears and anxieties you experience on a daily basis? Are you having a hard time thinking and feeling positively about yourself? If the answer is 'yes' to any of or all these questions, just know that these are challenges you do not have to go through alone. In my professional experience as a counselor, I have worked with clients of various ages struggling with depression, anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, trauma, grief, and anger. I am passionate about empowering clients and guiding them towards happiness and healing.

I'm a therapist because I value complexity. We each have our own vision for a life that feels vibrant, authentic, and fulfilling. As your therapist, it's my job to walk with you through the process of learning about yourself, growing, and getting more of what you want out of life. I work primarily with queer and trans people age 16 and older but offer therapy services to clients of all backgrounds. I also offer autism and ADHD assessments for adolescents and adults.

As a sex and relationship therapist, I help couples improve their communication and openness without changing who they are. I believe that humor is an essential part of healthy sexuality. We may talk about some deep or sensitive topics, but being comfortable and open is the key to better communication. Many people are looking for playfulness and fun in their sexuality. Honesty and acceptance pave the way for better intimacy.

My name is Robyn (she/her). I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Outpatient Psychotherapist and Clinical Supervisor at Three Oaks Behavioral Health & Wellness in South Durham. I have diverse clinical experience in inpatient and outpatient settings, community mental health, with intimate partner violence, eating and substance use disorders, and adult & juvenile justice systems. I have a unique perspective on ways that our emotions, experiences, and the ways our own and others’ stories about us accumulate in our minds and bodies and can become stuck in our tissues causing us physical and emotional pain.

I believe each of us have gifts to aid us in our healing and they can shine in a supportive environment. With curiosity and collaboration, I will walk alongside you in navigating, coping, and thriving through hardships, life transitions, and self exploration. I bring a grounding and patient presence that offers support and encouragement and cultivates an open, non judgemental, and affirming space where you can show up as you are. I welcome people from all backgrounds and specialize in working with those who are transgender, gender expansive, queer, in the LGBTQ+ community, or are a parent.

As a dedicated clinician specializing in anxiety, depression, obsessive thinking and self-esteem, I offer compassionate support and evidence-based practices to guide individuals toward reaching their full potential. With a deep commitment to fostering a safe and empathetic environment, I aim to empower clients as they navigate life and discover inner resilience. My therapeutic approach is rooted in the belief that each person's journey is unique, and I tailor treatment to meet the specific needs and goals of my clients.

I am a firm believer in the transformative power of psychological assessment. Comprehensive evaluations can help identify individual strengths and challenges, determine unique vulnerabilities and protective factors, provide diagnostic clarification, determine options for further treatment and improve functioning.

I strive to provide competent, compassionate and client-centered therapy services to assist and support individuals, couples, and families in processing past issues, managing daily stress, and working to make positive choices in the future. I specialize in working with children and adolescents who are experiencing anxiety, depression and behavioral challenges. As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I value working with the entire family. I incorporate parents and caregivers into my work with children to ensure that the entire family system feels supported and can work towards improved family dynamics and relationships.

Are you struggling with loss, unwanted changes, or stressful life transitions? Do you feel alone in your struggle, that others don't really understand? Whatever your distress, I can help you find ways to cope with overwhelming emotions and to move forward in your challenging world, discovering new possibilities for yourself. My expertise is in grief due to death, but I have over 20 years therapy experience with loss and transitions of all kinds: chronic and terminal illness, end of life issues, caregiving, troubling relationships, job loss and changes, life passages, and identity changes.

I enjoy working with adults 18+ on issues dealing with anxiety, depression, life transitions, existential concerns, and relationship concerns. As a Black female clinician, I enjoy working with people from the BIPOC community. It has always been a goal of mine to actively help eliminate the stigma surrounding mental health in communities of color. Making a difference in one life will model what it means to prioritize mental health and can hopefully be shared to the loved ones of these individuals.

As a systems trained therapist, I specialize in helping bring an understanding to how relationships have an impact on one's journey to wellness. I work well with people who are exploring the dynamics of their personal and professional relationships, including friends, intimate partners and family. I am passionate about helping my clients explore and understand the interpersonal connections in their lives. We will work together to identify patterns so you can develop a greater understanding of the dynamics that exist in your relationships with others.
