Dialectical Behavior (DBT) Therapists in Chapel Hill, NC
She is an intensively trained Dialectical Behavior Therapy ( DBT) therapist.
After working with patients for over 30 years, I have come to believe that setting clear therapeutic goals and establishing a working partnership of trust and commitment are keys to success. My aim is to balance acceptance, compassion, and validation with the need to make sustainable changes. Learning self-regulation and life skills are priorities. Developing effective action plans in a safe and non-judgmental environment also facilitate positive outcomes. I look for every opportunity to collaborate with other providers if my patients request this and are seeking a team approach.

I specialize in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy ( DBT). My approach to psychotherapy is collaborative, creative, evidence-based, results-oriented, flexible, and holistic. People often arrive at psychotherapy when they want to deal with problems, alleviate emotional suffering, make a change, move in a new direction, or find well-being. I try to balance acceptance and change, acknowledging that the first step towards change is accepting reality. I think the therapeutic relationship needs to be a real and genuine connection. I value being kind, genuine, thoughtful, direct, honest, and playful as a person and a therapist.

I use dialectical behavioral therapy ( DBT), sensorimotor psychotherapy (SP), EMDR and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT).
People often seek therapy when they feel stuck in suffering and want to make changes in their lives. These changes can involve making difficult choices, moving in a new direction, and learning to cope with past or current painful experiences in order to exist and move through the world in a new way. I respect the vulnerability involved in seeking help and work to build the connection and safety needed to support clients in both desired growth and acceptance of present realities. I value being kind, authentic, playful, and thoughtfully honest as a person and as a therapist.

I have completed intensive specialized training in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy from Behavioral r, an intensive course founded by Dr.
Are you feeling that life is overwhelming? Do you often struggle with intense, rollercoaster range of emotions? Do you want your life to change, and not sure where to start? Whatever your reason for searching out options for therapy, I am glad that you are here. My approach to therapy is not a "one size fits all" model; but rather an integrative, holistic and clinical evidenced based framework to guide discovery to your authentic self and help provide a better understanding of connection to inner truth, to mind and body, and nurture the process of reinvesting back into you.

I most often utilize Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Internal Family Systems Theory, and the Trauma Resiliency model.
Welcome, I am glad you stopped by! People I meet with are often seeking to break long term addictions, achieve a healthier lifestyle, or may be seeking help around a complex relationship with someone who is using substances. Others are in sobriety and may be seeking support to increase their own resilience or process past trauma that led to their initial use. Some of my clients seek to use substances in moderation with transparency and the support of an objective person. Others are seeking a sober lifestyle and are caught in the throws of self hatred and repeated lapses.

I utilize a range of therapeutic techniques, including trauma-informed therapy, person-centered therapy, motivational interviewing, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy ( DBT).
Mental health challenges can significantly impact daily functioning, even long after the precipitating events have occurred. In some cases, there may be no clear cause, yet the impact is still profound. Regardless of the situation, everyone deserves support. In my previous work, I worked with diverse populations and complex trauma. I supported individuals and families from all walks of life, many of whom were dealing with overlapping traumas, including domestic violence, mental health struggles, homelessness, childhood trauma, and identity-based discrimination. In all cases, I was inspired by every person's innate strength.

I draw from CBT, DBT, and other modalities as needed but don't worry if this sounds like a foreign language! I'll help you figure it out.
Starting therapy can be really intimidating. It takes courage to recognize there are things you want to change. With 15 years of experience in the field, I have developed a passion for helping people. If you're feeling down, anxious, untethered, are struggling with physical health concerns or a combination of the above, therapy could be a great option for you. Sometimes my clients aren't sure what they want, they just know things could be better - that's ok too. Let's work together to figure it out. - Hillary

Maybe you're a graduate student or LGBTQ+ person wanting to process the varied challenges and pleasures of life.
