Therapists in Durham, NC

You made it! You may not feel like you’re making it right now-and that’s totally okay. However, take a moment to reflect that you’ve made it to THIS moment in search for hope, understanding, growth, and relief. You’ve already made it through frustration (scrolling through hundreds of strangers faces to find a therapist), hopelessness, sadness, anxiety, trauma, and much more. I want to walk beside you through the difficult feelings you’ve been experiencing to help you create a life that you don’t just make it through, but actually ENJOY!

As a queer woman and North Carolina native, I understand the unique challenges and resiliency in recognizing and living your true identity. Rebecca Morgan is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 6 years of experience providing direct therapeutic care.

As a Christian Counselor, holistic practitioner, and life coach envisioning my ideal client involves understanding their multifaceted needs and aspirations. My ideal client seeks healing and growth not only on a cognitive and emotional level but also on a spiritual and physical level. They come to me with a desire to address not just the symptoms of their struggles, but the root causes, seeking deeper understanding and meaning in their journey towards wellness. Their goals may vary, from overcoming specific challenges such as anxiety or depression to achieving a sense of balance, purpose, and connection in their lives.

Accepting new clients. We accept Medicare and BCBS. Are you ready to experience life as you desire and deserved? I specialize in helping men and women who are battling depression, grief, life stressors, or just feeling stuck. Are you seeking a holistic approach to not only overcoming your mental health challenges but also to achieve personal growth and balance in your life? Do you value emotional support, effective coping strategies, and expert guidance in transcending adversity? If you are ready for change and aspire for greatness in all aspects of your life, then my strengths-based, empowerment therapy services are just for you.

I believe that good counseling, beginning with a natural fit between client and therapist, can be one of the most important and beneficial experiences of our lives. I am passionate about working with my clients and strive always to bring my natural compassion and creativity to each session. I find I am most helpful to clients struggling with loss, grief, depression, anxiety, and relationship issues, though I help clients work through other issues as well. Because I am trained in theology as well as psychotherapy, I bring a unique understanding of faith and spirituality to my practice, welcoming clients from any (or no) faith tradition.

Are you an individual who has overcome a lot to find success in life and you find that you "should be" happy, but you can't figure out how to get there? Are you searching for parenting support (post-partum to adult) or are you a person of color who wants to explore and process childhood trauma or current struggles at work or home? Are you a black woman who is seeking "the soft life" because it has been hard to ask for help or express feelings because you are afraid to be labeled an "angry black woman"? If any of this applies to you, I am the therapist for you.

I welcome and work with adults from all backgrounds and stages of life. I am LGBTQIA+ affirming, engaged in anti-racist work, and approach my clients with empathy, nonjudgement, and respect for their strengths. As a former professor who left academia, I value supporting clients through big decisions, school or career stress, and life transitions. I view mental health difficulties such as anxiety, depression, burnout, and trauma as responses to individual, social, and environmental factors, rather than 'personal' issues. Consequently, I help clients make changes in their own habits, their relationships, and their wider contexts.

During times of struggle, you have an absolute right to support from an attentive, warm, trustworthy witness - someone who believes in your strength and brilliance when you can no longer see it, and who stands by your side as you emerge as the architect of your own healing. My work and my passion is to be that witness. I entered into the field of mental health to uplift the experiences of those who often struggle to find responsive and attuned care. As a queer, biracial, Latine therapist and advocate, I am wholly dedicated to opening a space with you through which you can experience repair, discovery, growth and transformation.

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.

I have experience providing individual and group counseling, as well as completing psycho-educational evaluations. I use a person-centered approach, utilizing cognitive behavior strategies, solution based techniques, yoga, and mindfulness. I am certified in providing parenting support and Yoga for ages 4 through 19. My areas of focus are ADHD coaching for various ages and working with children and adolescents to improve self-esteem, behaviors, and life skills. I believe that a person can improve their overall quality of life by adjusting their perception, as well as how to communicate their emotions in a healthy way.

Are you overwhelmed with the complexities of life that you feel an urge to shut down? Do you find yourself constantly reevaluating your decisions to get on the “right track”? As a therapist, it is my goal to assist clients in unpacking their trauma, challenges of daily living, and overarching negative thoughts to identify healthy ways of coping yielding a positive way of navigating through life. With over two years of experience working in various mental health settings such as outpatient therapy, psychosocial rehabilitation, and intensive in home, I have developed a passion for empowering adult women to work through trauma.

My practice is informed by a few basic beliefs: I believe that people are doing the best that they can with the resources they have available to them; I believe with adequate support and guidance, we all have the ability to develop new skills and reach our potential; and I believe that therapy is grounded in a trusting relationship, which is enhanced by my clinical knowledge. My approach combines multiple modalities to tailor treatment to your individual needs and is rooted in the understanding that my ability to adapt is key to you achieving success. I enjoy working with individuals and families, as well as adolescents and parents.

I treat a wide variety of clinical disorders such as depression, anxiety, OCD, and personality disorders. However, I specialize in the treatment of addiction to drugs, alcohol, and sexually compulsive behaviors better known as “sex addiction.” The reason I don’t prefer that term is because it oversimplifies both the subjective experience and the symptoms. For example, overuse of pornography, or countless hours spent browsing single’s ads online doesn’t necessarily involve sex, but it can be compulsive.

Do you feel like you're holding yourself back? I work with people who want to get out of their own way. They identify as over-thinkers, high achievers, and perfectionists and may experience anxiety and/or depression from feeling like they’re not reaching their full potential. They might be musicians, singers, dancers, actors, cheerleaders, athletes, or working professionals. They feel frustrated that their own self-talk and perfectionism gets in the way of their ability to perform to their highest level.

Is communicating your needs a challenge for you? Do you have difficulty putting yourself first? If so, welcome! Peace! I'm LA (el-ay), a creative, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and the principal practitioner at Reconnect With You, PLLC, a holistic private mental health practice specializing in equipping you with the strategies, tools and wisdom to navigate your inner environment. I firmly believe that one's relationships with others are both an extension and reflection of the relationship one has with oneself. I aim to create and hold a safe space where you and all the different aspects and versions of you can exist.

As a systems trained therapist, I specialize in helping bring an understanding to how relationships have an impact on one's journey to wellness. I work well with people who are exploring the dynamics of their personal and professional relationships, including friends, intimate partners and family. I am passionate about helping my clients explore and understand the interpersonal connections in their lives. We will work together to identify patterns so you can develop a greater understanding of the dynamics that exist in your relationships with others.

At Carolina Sexual Wellness Center, we strive to provide a supportive and safe environment where clients can resolve issues related to sex, sexuality and gender. Examples of areas we specialize in include but are not limited to sexual dysfunction, compulsive or impulsive sexual behavior (also known as "sex addiction"), couples and relationship issues surrounding sexuality, sexual identity development, gender orientation concerns, and sexual behaviors or fantasies that may be considered problematic. Although many people with sexual problems feel alone, it is important to know you are not.

I believe that each person is unique and that their story is their own. I do not know what you are experiencing at this time, however, it is my goal to understand what you are experiencing by listening to and learning from you. I believe that we can work together to establish a working relationship that feels safe while promoting healing and growth for you.

Everyone experiences the world differently so emphasizing characteristics that are unique to you can be key to positive change. I take a client-centered approach to individualizing treatment and, as our world is ever-changing, this includes adapting with you when necessary. While CBT is often an effective approach to begin making changes, I find that pulling features of other modalities helps develop a well-rounded understanding of your worldview and provides varied tools to be resilient in the face of life’s challenges.
