Culturally Sensitive Therapists in Chapel Hill, NC
Tired of facing this alone? Need someone to trust to listen without placing judgment? So often, we try to handle things alone for too long. By the time we ask for help, the problem feels out of control. I want to help you to figure this out and get out from under whatever burden or decision is on you. Whether it is the past, work stress, grief over a loss, regret, anxiety, depression, or a behavior interfering with your life goals, I will work with you to try to figure this out.

I provide therapy for individuals and couples who are looking for change through a warm, engaged, and challenging process. You are the best expert about your life and your experiences; sometimes you just need external perspective to help you truly know what you know and figure out what you want to do with that knowledge. Financial issues, grief, loss, transitions, and relationships - these are the issues people bring to therapy. I work with the information that you bring into the room to help co-create solutions that truly work for you.

My love is helping people learn to navigate the terrain of the body and to find the wisdom and freedom of feeling and ‘sensing’ as ways of knowing and healing. This domain is difficult to navigate alone - We live in a time when our nervous systems are deeply taxed and carry significant trauma, and in which the cultural resources for healing have been repressed or lost under the weight of systems of oppression. I want to help you find your way back to a sense of wholeness by listening to your innate wisdom. Please note- I only accept clients who have some form of contemplative practice because it creates a foundation for our work!

With over 25 years of experience, I work with adult clients through the various struggles of life. I have a lot of interest in relationship concerns, self-concept issues, career development and transition experiences, and grief/loss concerns. Most of my work involves exploring the various (sometimes un-noticed) ways that fear and loneliness emerge during life, leading to a real struggle. We might also explore how your identities, beliefs, and values can be part of your growth, healing, and clarity on how to move forward. I offer a compassionate perspective on your issues and goals, so we can work, together, to move toward them.

Hi there. I’m Katelyn, an addiction specialist and mental health counselor. I offer space for you to process the ways that substance use and misuse–whether by you or a loved one–might hinder you from living a flourishing life. People I meet with are typically seeking to break long term addictions, achieve a healthier lifestyle, and/or seeking help around a complex relationship with someone who is abusing substances. Others are in sobriety and may be seeking support or to process past trauma that led to their initial misuse. Some are seeking to use substances in moderation and others are seeking a sober lifestyle.

Taking the first step to get help can be a very tough decision. Many people who consider starting therapy may be feeling overwhelmed, anxious, exhausted, ashamed, or hopeless. My practice focuses on helping those who have experienced trauma heal in a safe, secure, compassionate, and supportive environment. I use evidenced-based and evidence-informed practices that have been known to help others, like you, experience relief from the effects of trauma. My goal as your therapist is to understand, nurture, and leverage your innate strengths and resources in the healing process and restore balance to your system.

Sometimes we experience difficulties that we can't seem to solve on our own. It may be a life transition that creates unexpected challenges, such as graduating, changing jobs, becoming a parent, or losing a loved one. It may be a relationship problem or a difficult situation at work. Or it may be more of an internal struggle, in which we find ourselves feeling anxious, lonely, or stuck. Sometimes we just have a vague sense that something isn't right, that we're not as happy or as fulfilled as we could be.
