Feminist Therapists in Raleigh, NC

Hi, I'm so glad you're here. My name is Dylan Hines, a mental health counselor at Three Oaks Behavioral Health & Wellness. I am deeply passionate about supporting members of the queer (LGBTQ+) community through mental health care and community education. I also enjoy working alongside adolescents and adults of all ages as they explore identities and values; manage anxiety, depression, and daily stressors; process trauma; navigate life transitions; and work towards their goal of creating a more fulfilling life.

I specialize in working with women with ADHD and those struggling with anger, irritability, and emotion regulation. I incorporate mindfulness and radical acceptance into my therapeutic approach, which helps clients feel better about themselves and gain more control. I see therapy as tapping into your inner strength. Looking inward isn't always easy, so I partner with your intuition, self-compassion, and humor to help you embody your best self. Together, we create a safe space for you to explore your experiences, understand your inner self, and learn practical coping strategies.

Navigating life can be difficult to say the least. Even more so when you have stressors beyond your control affecting the wellness of your mind and body. Having marginalized identities, past trauma and numerous life transitions can make for a stressed individual. Unveiling your truest self and having the confidence to rely on your values, no matter the circumstance, takes courage. As a Black woman, I understand that there is power and healing in finding safety within our community.

I am committed to helping clients holistically on their pain journey, recognizing that everyone experiences pain in unique ways. My approach is person-centered, focusing on meeting each individual where they are and supporting them as they navigate their next chapters. I believe in being a steadfast ally, someone who is truly in their corner, and who understands that they are the expert of their own mind and body. My goal is to empower clients to take charge of their healing process, offering compassionate guidance and understanding every step of the way.

Hola and welcome! I'm a latinx, bilingual, first generation Domincan American. I am passionate about working with BIPOC women. I specialize in anxiety, trauma, body image/self-worth, childhood trauma, and family of origin issues. Therapy is a place of exploration and curiosity, where we work together on your goals. As your therapist, I am here to support you in making meaning of your experiences.

Have you ever felt like an outsider in spaces where you thought you would belong? You feel like you can't fully be yourself around your own family, friends, and community. You feel like you have to leave parts of yourself behind to make yourself fit in, otherwise you will be alone or let everyone down. You are also battling oppression from various angles. You feel like your identities are constantly under attack and you are facing an infinite number of systemic barriers. After years of hiding your true self and being strong in the face of oppression, you are exhausted and just want a space where you don't have to pretend anymore.

Congratulations! You have chosen to seek help. It is important to find a therapist you can build a relationship with. I am described as an interactive, insightful, intuitive, genuine, non-judgemental therapist. My expertise comes from a unique balance of professional and personal training and experience. I have a passion for what I do and love coming to work everyday. I would love to join you in getting where you want to be. I am a cognitive behavioral therapist with a family systems perspective. I add compassion-focused, culturally sensitive, attachment-based therapy with a solution focus, to fit each person's individuality.

I fully understand how overwhelming life can be at times, and believe that everyone can benefit from reflective and compassionate support. I believe that therapy is not "one-size fits all", therefore I tailor the process to the unique needs of each client. However, at the core of all of my work is a strengths-based approach. Sessions focus on self-awareness, altering negative thoughts, self-esteem building, and challenging my clients in a non-judgmental and empathetic way. My passion is working with teenagers, college-age adults, and young adults. If you feel like we would be a good fit, let's connect! I can't wait to talk to you.

I am a licensed psychologist with extensive experience treating disordered eating and body image concerns, trauma, social anxiety, self-esteem issues, issues related to family of origin, relationship concerns, career concerns, and mood disorders. I meet my clients with curiosity, warmth, and openness, and will work to create a space where we can partner together in pursuit of your growth. I believe therapy works best when we harness your inner strength and agency through increased self-reflection, self-compassion, and positive coping.

You are hoping to understand how early experiences shaped you and how to guide the unprocessed energy in your body to a safety in the present. You may “know what’s wrong” or “how it happened” but struggle to break out of old patterns that feel locked in place. You are ready to explore and get curious toward the burdened parts of yourself that may have been your protection or solace from the world around you. If this sounds like you, I’m so glad you’re here & I hope to have the opportunity to work alongside you in your journey home to Self.

If you are at a place where you are experiencing some difficulties in life, you do not have to stay in that place. I offer a wide variety of knowledge, experience, compassion, and empathy into my time with others. I enjoy infusing my work with a lot of humor, and creativity, while embracing the holistic model of the mind/body connection.

For the last ten years I have been helping clients from a variety of backgrounds to move in the direction of making a meaningful, fulfilling life. I have extensive experience working with folks struggling with disordered eating and body image distress, obsessive compulsive tendencies, anxiety, depression, trauma, and challenges related to gender and sexuality. As a person who identifies as queer herself, I am strongly committed to providing a safe, non-judgemental, and affirming space for all folks in the LGTBQ community and provide letters for folks looking to receiving gender affirming medical care.

I have a strong passion for supporting adults, children, adolescents, and families to healing. I have experience with a variety of populations, and I am dedicated to prioritizing the needs and goals of clients who work with me in their therapeutic work. I specialize in mindfulness, anxiety, mood, attention, emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, life changes and relationship issues. Within a family context, I utilize the framework of the family system to support changing behaviors and identifying growth.

Not currently accepting new clients. Sometimes life is hard! If you are experiencing anxiety, difficulties with motivation, feelings of isolation, or depression, you don’t need to manage it all on your own. Having the support of an experienced, caring, and authentic professional may help. Together we'll explore situations, patterns, and behaviors that may not be working for you and look for alternatives that fit your goals. Considering your values and priorities, we will work collaboratively to develop a plan to help you feel more satisfied with life.

The stories of our lives have a tremendous impact on who we are as people, and how we feel. As a narrative-based therapist, it is my privilege to be invited to witness your story and be part of the change that you are seeking. With training in marriage and family therapy comes a unique understanding of how relational experiences, how you grow up, communities, and society as a whole can impact how each person interacts with and understands the world around them. I operate from a neurodivergent affirming and trauma-informed style, and seek to offer a compassionate and understanding atmosphere while inviting you to challenge yourself.

Asking for help is really hard. I’m here to help people transition from a state of exhaustion, stress and survival – to feeling more understood, present & alive. I work to create a warm, compassionate and safe space for all identities. I believe in taking time to build a relationship based on trust and understanding. I specialize in working with women struggling with anxiety, depression, burnout, & mothers transitioning to parenthood. My specialties also include college-aged students, LGBTQIA+, folks struggling with stress, trauma, neurodiversity, attachment, identity, and career changes.
