Trauma informed and EMDR trained therapist that is trying to make bad shit less bad for you.
You good? I ask because I can see that there's a pain in your eyes that you're trying so hard to disguise like everything is okay. I'm asking because I'm genuinely concerned about how you're doing. I know that we often think that people don't care about how we are but me, I do care. So, tell me, are you good? You don't have to hold onto all of that hurt, that anger, that anxiety, that stress, that pressure. You don't have to be the hero. You don't have to carry the weight of the world on your shoulders just so you can be criticized for not carrying a bigger boulder.

I also believe evaluations should appreciate individual differences as well as sources of oppression and trauma; my assessments are all trauma-informed.
I conduct psychological evaluations for adults, youth, and families. If your situation calls for an evaluation or assessment, you may be understandably concerned about what is involved and whom to trust. Whether you are trying to better understand yourself or are looking for diagnostic clarity, or whether you have been advised or required to seek an evaluation, you want assurance that you will be heard and treated with compassion and respect. Or, if you have concerns about your child, adolescent, or teenager, you may be looking for a sensitive psychological evaluation to assess academic or emotional needs. Our team can help.

I am currently a certified consultant with EMDRIA to offer consultation to other clinicians who are starting to provide EMDR trauma therapy to clients.
I am a very blunt therapist and will always lay out the process and what that looks like for each individual client. The intake can be very boring, as I ask many questions to gain an understanding of how I can help. I then make sure we have a mutual agreement when creating a plan for therapy that includes how we can recognize progress in therapy. I typically do not assign homework as I understand that there is not always time for homework with all of life's demands. I specialize in trauma and couples but have worked with many different diagnoses.

You matter and it's time to deal with the trauma and triggers that are holding you back. Life feels hectic, but investing in yourself is important.

You're determined now; you've made the decision to take care of yourself...AND you know you want some help doing it.

My clinical interests include trauma, PTSD, anxiety, ADHD and other learning difficulties, suicide ideation, borderline personality, emotional/behavioral regulation, spirituality, life planning, and adjustment difficulties with individuals ages 4-30's both individually and with their caregivers.
As a therapist and fellow “in-progress” human I believe that we are all constantly growing and changing through many seasons. Some seasons can feel like they last a lifetime, but no matter how difficult the season or how long it sticks around, I believe no one is without hope. I strive to instill that hope and confidence in you and create a space where you feel comfortable navigating tough questions, big emotions, and difficult situations.

I work with high school students and adults with a variety of presenting concerns, including anxiety, trauma, impacts of oppression based on marginalized identity, relationship communication, and exploring intersectional identities in order to create an authentic, confident sense of self.
Welcome! My name is Lamar Whidbee and I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Associate in North Carolina. I believe that the journey to healing, self- acceptance and sustainability is beautiful. Many men, specifically Black men, have been conditioned to ignore emotional responsibility while internalizing most emotion. I strive to advocate for Black men in the mental health space, as I am aware of the stigmas that disconnect Black men from mental health support. My greatest joy in a session is to see my client set free from the issues that previously restricted them.

Throughout the years, I've had the pleasure of supporting many clients as they address their interpersonal problems, mood disorders, and trauma histories.
Have you ever felt overwhelmed, stuck, burdened by fears, and quite simply lost? I think we all have at one time or another. My life has brought me through a winding path and, along the way, I have met some amazing people... clients that are doing their best despite the burden they carry. Despite my two master's degrees and my 20+ years of counseling experience, I continue to get chills when clients have that "ah-ha" moment and start on a new path in their life.

Whether you want to work on coping skills, stress management, trauma, refocus your goals, or just need someone to talk to-teletherapy is effective and beneficial.
Now more than ever, your mental health and well-being is important. I understand the thought of opening up to a stranger can be intimidating. My style of therapy is informal and relaxed. It is important to me that you feel comfortable. I won't push you to share if you're not ready. I will always take a nonjudgmental stance. I can assure you I will be comfortable with any subject you'd like to discuss. I am a sex positive/kink positive therapist with experience working with issues related to sexuality and gender, nontraditional relationship types (i.e., nonmonogamy), and nontraditional lifestyles in general.

Engaging in therapy is an important commitment and can be difficult to fit in with the rest of life's responsibilities. Perhaps you've tried therapy before and found it unhelpful, or worry that constant engagement in therapy is required for lasting change. Trying to cope with the aftermath of trauma, or the way anxiety symptoms can disrupt a day, or having the same fight again and again with a partner can seem to take all of your energy and motivation. Life is often stressful and chaotic, and the times when we feel most stretched thin are the times we need the most support and change.

I assist young adults, adults and women of color with repairing generational trauma, family issues, relationship issues, and any issues that life has handed you.
Are you in a dark place and seeking a sense of healing but unsure what to do? Are you afraid to look in the mirror because you have lost sight of the person staring back at you? At some point we have all been in that dark place, but I want to empower you to finally look in the mirror to see yourself again. I have a love for individuals that have been the strong friend. The ones who have been the caretakers or the people pleasers in their family or friend group. The ones who often feel forgotten about. So much so, you have forgotten about yourself and your identity. Together, we will work to restore the balance.

My favorite therapies are using a mix of mindfulness, CBT (talk therapy) EMDR and ART ( trauma therapies), and Internal Family Systems (parts work).
I'm really glad you're here. Although I live in Durham, NC, and Boone, NC, I work with folks who live all over North Carolina. My favorite work to do with clients is exploring parts of yourself that you don't like, parts that might need some extra attention or healing, and internal feelings or overwhelming body sensations (like anxiety, anger, or depression) that really seem to hold you back. I really enjoy working with cis women and queer folx, exploring anything from relationships to coming out, attachments styles, old or newer traumas, implementing positive self talk, substance use, and gender identity.
