UnitedHealthcare UHC | UBH Therapists in Durham, NC

I specialize in treating children (starting at age 5), teens, and college students. I spent 15 years working in North Carolina public schools, first as an elementary teacher and later as a school counselor. After a few years, I decided to work in the mental health field and obtained credentials to be a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor. Over the past twelve years, I've done Intensive In-Home and Outpatient therapy.

Life can be overwhelming. Creating a place that provides perspective and insight can be essential to grow into the full self. Thank you for taking time to consider this journey. Making the decision to pursue therapy for you or a loved one can be a challenge within itself. I hope I can be a part of it.

My "best" successes came from people who finally gave up on what wasn't working for them anymore and came in with an open mind. This worked with issues of anxiety and depression, habits that people didn't want to continue doing, relationships that felt broken, and coping mechanisms that used to work but then began to create more problems. I thoroughly enjoy working with people who are ready to get their lives back on track.

I welcome clients to my practice who are struggling with many of life's challenges, including substance use and addiction, anxiety, grief and loss, life transitions, family and relationship stress, and trauma. I believe no problem is too big or too small for therapy. You may identify as a high achiever who is used to getting things done and possibly caring for others. Who holds space for you?

Hi there! My name is Elizabeth and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Certified Sex Educator, and Grief Counselor. I utilize a strengths-based approach to collaborate with Patients to reach their goals and improve their overall well-being. I work with each Patient to develop individualized treatment plans that support in reducing the impact of emotional and mental challenges across environments. I deeply believe in the healing power of connection through therapy and welcome the chance to meet with you.

Would you like to dig beneath the surface to better understand yourself and the things you do, think, or feel that may surprise or confuse you? I find that this deeper work not only reduces symptoms of stress, depression, anxiety, and OCD, but also facilitates lasting change, enhancing your quality of life, your relationships with others, and your relationship with yourself. I seek to offer a collaborative and accepting space where you can feel seen, valued, and understood throughout the therapeutic process. I approach therapy with an attitude of curiosity rather than judgment, and encourage you to do the same!

Hello, I'm Fauzia, and I have been a practicing Licensed Clinical Social Worker for over three decades, working with children, adolescents, adults, and geriatric populations. My specialty areas are self care tool box, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, complex trauma, anxiety disorder, addiction and many other emotional issues that impact one's daily life. I use various interventions to help my client get the best results, each individual is different therefore not one approach works for all, and I have extensive experience in CBT, coping skills, mindfulness, insight, and self reflection among many others.

I have been a clinical social worker/therapist for almost 30 years. My overall philosophy is to empower a client with tools to make personal changes that will ultimately make seeing me for therapy unnecessary. I specialize in clients who are going through personal transitions such as divorce, grief or other uncertainties that cause anxiety and I have a lot of experiencing working with clients who experience gender/relationship violence or trauma.

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.

Welcome! You’ve taken the first step in regaining control over your mental health. Day to day life can be so overwhelming and poor mental health doesn’t make it any easier. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, identity, trauma, or just life in general, know that you’re taking a step in the right direction. Together we will work towards setting and achieving realistic goals to make your life easier.

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

I am a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner. I provide psychiatric medication management for patients 4-21 years of age. I understand that a person is more than the sum of medical conditions. Medication can help but is not a cure. I encourage patients to actively participate in their care by learning about their condition and utilizing other management strategies, such as therapy, meditation, and a healthy lifestyle. I work in partnership with patients and families to develop a treatment plan to successfully meet their goals. I am allied with the LGBTQ+ community.

I have 15 years of experience working with clients with trauma and mood disorders. I also work with people struggling with eating disorders, grief/loss and life transitions. I speak Spanish and have a strong interest in working with Hispanic/Latinx communities. I am a strong advocate for the LGBTQIA+ community. I find tremendous benefit in assisting people with identifying various forms of oppression (e.g., racism, sexism, homophobia, etc.) and understanding how these impact their lives. In my practice, I focus on helping people to free themselves from the effects of difficult, early and ongoing life experiences.

As a therapist and life coach, my goal is to help you feel both empowered and at peace with yourself and your life and to guide you on a positive path to growth and well-being. Through our work together, I seek to help you uncover your true self, find your voice, & align your values & life choices. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. Simultaneously I will introduce you to tools and strategies that may help you better navigate the stress and anxiety of life and hopefully enable you to experience greater peace, joy, and well being. 

Do you ever feel like you're losing yourself amidst the seasons of life, such as new parenthood, changing careers, or adjusting to college? Perhaps you're feeling stuck and overwhelmed with daily tasks or struggling to cope with a recent loss. Whatever your reason for being here, I'm glad that you're taking the first step towards finding support and regaining your confidence. My expertise lies in assisting motivated adults and couples navigate significant life changes by empowering them to be more attuned to their emotions and develop supportive skills towards self-acceptance and "wholeness".

Hello! If you are reading this, perhaps we will get to know one another. I have been a clinical therapist for over 10 years, but helping people for much longer than that. After working in foster care, I completed my college studies on psychology and social work. Helping in someone's healing journey is a privilege. Life can really be tough sometimes. Sometimes we have loads that we carry, beliefs and lessons we have learned along the way, some good or helpful and others not as much. I hope to help people of many multi-ethnic backgrounds, those who are open to healing recognizing the importance of relationships. It is worth it.

Hi! I'm Brian and I'm a therapist based in Western North Carolina. I've dedicated the last decade of my life serving people in need of support to overcome a variety of issues. I care about the people I work with dearly, and this drives me to provide them with the best mental health services possible every time they show up (and sometimes when they don't).

I graduated from Yale and then got my MD from Medical University of South Carolina. I completed my psychiatry residency at UNC Chapel Hill and worked in mental health clinics and later as Director of Psychiatry at Person Memorial Hospital. I enjoyed medication management but became most excited about the long lasting effects of psychotherapy. I have a great deal of experience caring for individuals with a wide variety of emotional and behavioral issues and I now want to focus my knowledge and insights on treating these issues with psychotherapy.
