Ruth Eslinger

Ruth Eslinger

Therapist

Virtual • North Carolina


I know how hard it is to learn to talk about difficult things. That made me want to help others learn to do the same. I started by volunteering at rape crisis and domestic violence shelters. When I was at these places I did outreach in the community and ran support groups for both. For a time, I took rape crisis hospital calls to support people who had come in for sexual assault exams. This work that taught me to be comfortable talking about anything, at any time, with anyone. I have worked with all types of individuals from ages 12 and up. My first Masters was an intensive dive into Human Rights. My second Masters was in Counseling so I could work with individuals to help them beyond the crisis moments. My passion is to help people progress towards healing.

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 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.
