ADHD Therapists in Durham, NC

I have been successfully treating children, teenagers, adults, couples and families since 1996. I offer a diverse menu of treatment options, from concrete skills to deep healing techniques to attain sustainable change. Viewing you holistically in all the contexts of your life, by recognizing your vulnerabilities while building on your strengths, is essential. I create a validating environment and an authentic, collaborative relationship. I am honest, empathic and an effective teacher. I will support you and challenge you to grow in the direction you desire.

I incorporate my training of mindfulness, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and expressive therapy (art therapy) to help my clients in reducing anxiety and emotional distress, and thus improving understanding and self-awareness. I’m an artist, a free-thinker, and a trauma survivor. Painting and drawing on a daily basis has allowed me to explore emotions, survive, and know that we are not alone in this one wild and precious life we are living. I want to take care of what’s coming up in your life without judgment and help unlock those parts of you that seem impossible to look at.

Hi, I'm Tiffany! I am Accepting New Clients. My ideal client's are adults ages 18+ who might struggle with being highly self-critical and negative self-talk, feelings of not fitting in / fear of missing out, if you're processing past experiences that have changed your perspective on life, and/or find yourself often living in chronic survival mode; often due to things outside of your control. As a neurodivergent, queer, BIPOC therapist, I also see clients of many marginalized communities looking to gain support, build confidence, and work on past traumas.

My practice has several highly qualified clinicians with current openings. I am always happy to schedule a consultation call with you to help you determine your needs and make appropriate referrals.

Are you going through a transition in your career, relationships, family? You're a leader, but feel uncertain. Perhaps you don't like your job, but are afraid to rock the boat. Are you retiring and don't know what's next? Maybe you are leaving, starting, or struggling in a relationship and want to do it "right" this time. All Transitions have stages we need to address. Our past experiences create our lenses of fear or excitement about the future. Knowing your old patterns will help you to create the life YOU want now. We can work 1-1, with a partner, a team or a family to see the old patterns and create new, successful ones.

I am humbled by the work done collaboratively with individuals while helping them reach their goals. Healing is a journey, and I am here to assist you in becoming a Happier, Healthier, and more Whole version of yourself. Clients who are ready for change, and the work it takes, reach out to me. Have you ever wondered how to overcome the trauma, grief, depression, and anxiety that prevents you from living your best possible life? If your answer is "yes," let's connect. I use holistic approaches that can help.

Hi, my name is Alysann and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 6 years of clinical experience. My therapeutic approach is strengths-based, which means I will empower you by building on your strengths. I specialize in OCD, Anxiety, Depression, Alcohol Addiction, Eating Disorders, Sleep/Insomnia, Stress, Self-esteem, Coping Skills, and Chronic Pain. I am trained in many different modalities such as, ERP, DBT, Mindfulness, Motivational Interviewing, CBT, and ACT, but I will tailor my therapy modality to the individual and find which approach will aid you the most to help accomplish any goals you might have.

Please note: I am currently working online only. My varied approach draws on traditional training as well as several related prior professional experiences. I have over thirty years of experience in helping professions including psychotherapy, counseling, higher education, and human services. My doctorate involved multiple disciplines, including psychology, philosophy and the arts. I am also a former yoga teacher. All of this experience has deeply influenced my practice. In addition to various more conventional therapeutic approaches (DBT, EMDR, insight oriented, etc.), I often include body/mind practices.

As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, I am passionate about helping others find the tools to live healthy, authentic and empowered lives. I have experience working with pre-teens (10+), teens, and adults who may feel stuck, confused or simply unsure of what their next steps in life might look like. Beginning the journey to answer the many questions life throws at us can be daunting, but having someone by your side throughout the process makes the load easier to bear. With over 10 years of experience working with diverse populations in a variety of unique roles, I believe I have the clinical insight to help you find your footing.

I'm a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Associate (LCMHCA) and former School Counselor. I love working with former teachers or folks still in the education system, athletes, and folks that want to talk through spiritual issues as well. My approach blends evidence-based techniques like IFS, ACT and CBT with mindfulness practices to help you build resilience, manage stress, and find clarity. Together, we'll explore what works best for you to foster positive change and personal growth.

It is our intent to raise awareness about mental health issues. Why is it important (glad you asked)? Because it affects how we think, feel, and act. It also helps determine how we handle stress, relate to others, and make choices. Mental health is important at every stage of life, from childhood and adolescence through adulthood. Let’s reduce the stigma related to mental illness. The more we talk about mental health conditions, the more normalized it becomes. Starting the conversation is the first step. Let’s talk!

Do you ever feel stuck, or that you have lost yourself along the way? Is it your first time seeking therapy or have you tried therapy in the past and continue to feel stuck? Are you having a hard time finding the right therapist? Let me help. I am focused on working with individuals dealing with depression, anxiety, Trauma, transitions, life evaluation, grief and loss, family conflicts, and relationship issues. I strive to create a safe and supportive space to allow all my clients to heal, grow, increase self-awareness, and be confident in their identity. I work with teens, adults, couples, and families.

I am a counselor who understands how it feels to sit in front of a therapist, that is why compassion is important to me. Vulnerability can be difficult, but we can create a safe space so when you're ready, we can change the difficulties interfering with your wants. That is therapy, getting what you need to get what you want. For example, depression has different flavors, but it keeps us from engaging fully in life and/or losing focus on what our dreams are. Whatever you are seeking to make life better and better, I am here to help. In person sessions can be scheduled on a limited basis but Telehealth with be offered on going.

NOTE: I will be in-network with BCBS as of mid-July 2024. As we navigate the complex ups and downs of life, it is vital to have a safe space in which we can share, heal, and grow. Part of what it means to be human is to experience difficulties, doubts, and pain from time to time. But without a space to give voice to them, the challenges we face can begin to weigh us down, hold us back, and dominate the stories we tell ourselves, about ourselves. In therapy, we’ll work together to give voice to your story — and give you the space, time, and support you need to write your next chapter with intention.

The clinicians at Essential are committed to helping people overcome obstacles and move forward with their lives with clarity, vision and confidence. Because we recognize that traditional talk therapy is not for everyone, we offer a wide array of groups and therapies to increase practical therapeutic skill building and techniques learned in 1:1 sessions.

Are you experiencing an overwhelming amount of anxiety? Do you find yourself giving so much to others that you never have time to pour into yourself? Are you feeling lost? Overwhelmed? Frustrated? Are you experiencing life transitions that seem to be out of control? Despite your successes, are your relationships seemingly fractured or falling apart? Did you answer 'Yes' to any of the previous questions? Asking for help is difficult but it is a courageous and first step towards healing and reaching your goals.

Everyone could use a little more grace. Sometimes that grace requires seeking professional guidance and support. My approach is to meet a person at their level of comfort with therapy and collaborate with them to reach their goals.

It is my belief that effective therapy is the result of a safe, meaningful, and intentional relationship between therapist and client. It is through this relationship that positive change and healing can flourish. Our interpersonal experiences have shaped us to be the way that we are, and the therapeutic relationship provides an avenue to explore, evaluate, and improve these experiences through an interpersonal evidence-based clinical approach. In pursuit of of these goals, I rely on a biopsychosocial approach that primarily utilizes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing.

We tend to forget it sometimes, but we are all human trying our best everyday which looks different for everyone. Countless things can have an impact on our mental well-being that at a certain point, it can all become too much to handle on our own. Whether it be the culmination of numerous experiences or one specific concern, we will work collaboratively to set and reach your goals, while processing their impact. Patience and self-compassion are vital components to building mental resilience. I meet my clients where they are and provide a space that is free of judgment, fosters healing, and promotes self-empowerment.
