Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists in Chapel Hill, NC

Kim Gordon is a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Louisiana, North Carolina, New York and Virginia. She has over 20 years of clinical experience.

Are you a so-called empath, overachiever, perfectionist or riddled with anxiety? Has life all just become a little too much and you need some space to process it? Boy, isn’t that the truth. Do you or someone you love have a brain health challenge? Parkinson’s disease, traumatic brain injury/concussion, mild cognitive impairment, multiple sclerosis, ADHD, problems with concentration or memory? Good news. I’m a board-certified neuropsychologist and we can handle that together. I know what these challenges mean - scientifically, and how they affect your day-to-day and relationships.

Let's start each day trying our best. Working together, we can practice and support identifying your values, needs, and emotions, bringing peace to your life and those around you. You deserve to live your life to the fullest. My background encompasses working with people 13 and up, including veterinarians, first responders, professionals, immigrants, and people/folx exploring sexuality or gender. If you are struggling with intimacy, anxiety, or self-esteem, please call. My techniques include mindfulness, ACT, CBT, and a bit of DBT. Let's decrease any anxiety, find methods to manage everyday stress, and learn to be kind to ourselves.

My name is Savannah Corey (she/her) and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I utilize a person-centered approach to meet clients where they are, and believe we are the expert in our own lives. Therapy should be a place where you feel really safe to talk about anything, and I believe that the relationship between a therapist and client is a partnership where all people involved strive to reach the same goals. As a Cognitive Behavioral Therapist, I help clients connect thoughts, feelings, or behaviors to "stuck points" in thoughts processes so that negative thoughts can be reframed.

When we ignore or deny the things that upset us most, the more power and control we attribute to them. How often do you suppress or push away painful feelings, intrusive thoughts, shame, or chronic suicidality? Rather than avoid what’s causing our pain, fear, and discomfort, it's crucial that we stop and ask ourselves why we’re avoiding the things that make us human. When we ignore the physical and cognitive messages our bodies communicate to us, we risk neglecting what our bodies need to heal and thrive, thus denying ourselves the chance to succeed and live a value-driven and purposeful life.

Welcome! I hold the belief that every person is inherently good, lovable, capable, and resilient. My role is to support clients in discovering their true selves in a safe, and caring environment. Simply put, I encourage all of my clients to come as they are. ​ I commit to create a space in which we can reflect on the past and the present and practice new ways to connect authentically with others, quiet the inner critic, and live a life lead by their unique values.

Trauma (well, and life) can be tricky. It could be what clinicians call a “Big T” trauma in the form of abuse, neglect, living through a natural disaster, etc.; or it could be a “little t” trauma that stems from your 2nd grade teacher who had a flippant attitude toward you for reasons unbeknownst to you. Often times the “little t” traumas manifest for us in the same ways as “Big T” traumas. We may be aware of our trauma responses but often times we are clueless and just know that something weird is happening within and we can’t really identify or explain it. We just know it isn’t working for us and we want to change it.

Hi! My name is Amal. I see therapy as a collaborative effort between myself and my clients. As a queer black woman, my goal is to provide space for those like me and others who have felt silenced and marginalized a majority of their lives. I have a passion for working with women of color and LGBTQIA+ identifying folks.

Welcome! I aim to create a supportive space to partner with clients in their healing process. I have over a decade of experience working with adult and youth trauma survivors and their loved ones. I partner with folks seeking support with trauma recovery, anxiety, parenting, reproductive health (pregnancy, abortion, loss, etc), adoption/fostercare, grief, burnout, compassion fatigue, and/or identity exploration. I am a White, straight, cisgender mother who is dedicated to personal and collective liberation from White supremacy, capitalism, and patriarchy.

Everyone needs some moments to be heard without judgement. I believe therapy can offer that unconditional space for people. All we need to do is to invest time and effort to come to the space to explore the stories inside of us. Nothing is wrong and everything teaches us something. I am here to witness the process and support self-determination within a safe space where the client and I build together. I take insight oriented indirective approach to help clients to find connections to themselves.

As a licensed therapist, I will be there for you during each step of your healing and growth. I specialize in general mental health, life transitions, and trauma, as well as infertility, pregnancy loss, premenstrual disorders, and perinatal or postpartum experiences. It's time to come home to yourself, and I can help! Together we can focus on reducing symptoms of depression or anxiety, healing, creating healthy relationships, building new coping skills, and cultivating your best life - whatever that may be.

I whole-heartedly believe that you are the expert on you! I hold the framework in our work together that you contain the inner wisdom around what you need for healing and growth. My role is to help you identify, strengthen, and listen to that inner guidance. At times this inner-knowing can become muted or distorted.

The struggle in life can get real, sometimes more often than we like. Maybe you are struggling with feeling stressed, isolated, hopeless, anxious, lost or unmotivated. It could be that life has become misaligned and you are ready to address your substance use whether it be alcohol and/or other drugs. Maybe you are the primary caregiver for your aging parent or grandparent, and the physical and emotional challenges have become too overwhelming. You are the expert in your life. I will encourage you to be creatively brave as we navigate and discover ways to strengthen your self-esteem, relationships and coping skills.

Now accepting Medicare. Stressed-out? Feeling lost? Struggling to get through your day? Imagine a life without overwhelming anxiety, depression or self doubt, but instead you can feel empowered, self assured and even just relaxed despite all of life's stressors. Therapy can help you to achieve that self assurance, sense of peace and increased coping ability. I believe that everyone is unique and has their own unique journey; therefore, therapy should be person-centered and non-judgmental.

Now Offering Therapy Intensives. Get Better. FASTER!

Do you feel frustrated by your child’s behaviors? Confused about the best parenting strategies to help them? Maybe you see your child struggling and you’re wondering if there’s something you can do to better support them. Maybe you’re confused about whether your child is just going through a phase or struggling with a true “disorder.” Disorder or not, you’re likely wondering the best way you can help them. You want them to succeed and live their best lives. That’s why you’re here and I commend you for taking steps to find some answers!

Sometimes in life we need someone to come along side us and walk with us for a while on our journey. I would describe myself as a sojourner. I provide a positive, nonjudgmental environment to see individuals as they work on addressing challenges they are facing. I work with teens and adults to address issues including depression, anxiety, infertility, life transitions, grief and loss along with parenting related stressors. Some of my speciality areas include: Postpartum issues, maternal mental health and EMDR. I also provide help to other professionals to address secondary trauma, compassion fatigue and "burn out".

Embracing your humanity isn't easy, but you don't have to face it alone. Many of my clients experience anxiety, perfectionism, burnout and professional challenges, navigating life transitions, parenting and caregiving stress, challenges with aging or medical conditions, and discrimination or difficulties related to their identity. I welcome the opportunity to learn with you and help you gain perspective, live with purpose, and see possibility in each moment. Let's journey together as I listen, support, and guide you towards a vital and connected life.

I do individual psychotherapy and coaching work. I specialize in relationships, trauma and anxiety. My intention is to provide a safe, nonjudgmental relationship in which people can explore their feelings, needs, beliefs and perceptual frames in order to make significant and lasting changes. For some people learning the effective use of assertiveness, self compassion and boundaries can be key components to changing their relationship to self and others.
