Daran Edmonds

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 1.1 mi away • Carrboro, NC


I earned my Master of Social Work from UNC–Chapel Hill in 1999 and have more than 25 years of experience helping adults and families navigate emotional distress, relationship difficulties, and major life challenges. My background includes work as a psychotherapist and child welfare social worker.

I bring experience, steadiness, and genuine curiosity to my work. I am interested not only in what people are struggling with, but in how they came to experience themselves and their lives in the ways they do.

Through Headway, I provide insurance-based therapy to individual adults only. I do not see couples through insurance.

Shannon Lomasney

Shannon Lomasney

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 6.5 mi away • Durham, NC


My name is Shannon Lomasney (she/her), and I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I’m passionate about working with therapists and helping professionals who are deeply committed to their clients, their work, and their own growth—yet find themselves questioning whether the way they’re currently practicing, living, or showing up still feels sustainable and true to who they are. Many of my clients are thoughtful, compassionate, and highly self-aware, who have spent years investing in their personal and professional development. Oftentimes they find themselves navigating burnout, perfectionism, self-doubt, compassion fatigue, or uncertainty about what comes next. Whether you’re feeling disconnected from yourself, exploring a new direction in your career, or longing for a deeper sense of balance and fulfillment, I can offer a space to slow down, explore what’s beneath the surface, and reconnect with what matters most.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Hello, want to work together on a path to Clarity in 2026? I provide ADHD Support in North Carolina

I provide support to NC residents through telehealth or in-person visits at our Pittsboro office in the Chatham Wellness Collective. (south of Chapel Hill)

A Streamlined Approach to ADHD Care. Navigating the ADHD assessment and treatment process can be frustrating and expensive. Many individuals face delays, expensive testing fees, and additional requirements, such as a psychological evaluation and/or a doctor’s note or EKG, just to receive care. Others are seen by telehealth only providers who can't prescribe stimulants and who tell you one has to start off on Wellbutrin or Strattera (non stimulants). That is terrible care. At our clinic, we prioritize efficiency and accessibility.

We believe in low doses of medication and finding your perfect dose to balance attention with mood. Most of our ADHD patients are on low dosing.

My approach to treatment is collaborative, forward-thinking, and tailored to your unique needs. I strive to create a warm, inviting atmosphere where you can feel comfortable discussing your challenges.

State Employees- Headway is part of a program that makes most visit have only a $10 copay.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Chapel Hill

Searching for therapists in Chapel Hill starts with finding someone whose training fits what you want support with. People often look for therapy for anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship challenges, grief, life transitions, trauma, or work stress. As you compare Chapel Hill therapists, look for listed specialties, therapy styles, and experience with your concerns. A therapist’s bio can help you understand how they work, what sessions may feel like, and whether their approach matches what you’re looking for.

Chapel Hill is a smaller city, so the number of nearby in-person therapists may vary by location, schedule, and specialty. If you are also open to virtual care, you may see more options across North Carolina while still working with a licensed therapist. You can narrow your search by appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, session format, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading profiles before booking can also help you compare communication style, areas of focus, and practical details like scheduling.

Therapy in Chapel Hill can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your needs, check your insurance, view estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and choose from available virtual or in-person appointments. You can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
