I love working with people and helping them "grow" through the things of life that they "go" through. A quote that I love to share with clients and live by personally is to remember not to focus on your purpose but to live your life purposely. As a military social worker my background is specific to first responders, but most importantly individuals that are learning their new "normal" after traumatic life events that have unexpectedly shaped them.

Therapist

Virtual • Durham, NC


I believe therapy works best when there is a strong connection between therapist and client. My style is warm, genuine, and direct. I'll offer compassion and support, but I'll also help you recognize patterns that may be keeping you stuck.

As a trauma-informed therapist and EMDR specialist, I create a space where you can be yourself without judgment. Clients often tell me they feel comfortable with me quickly because I show up as a real person—not just a therapist.

I believe healing happens through both insight and action. My goal is to help you feel more grounded, confident, and empowered to create meaningful change in your life.

Therapist

Virtual • Cornelius, NC


Hello! I’m Jullee Capshaw, MA, LCMHC (she/her/hers). I began working in the mental health field in 2018 at a psychiatric hospital in Atlanta, GA, where I developed a strong foundation in supporting individuals through complex challenges. I later worked as a Registered Behavior Technician at an autism behavioral clinic, providing ABA therapy to children and their families.

I earned my undergraduate degree from the University of North Georgia and my Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from UNC Charlotte. During graduate school, I completed an internship at Davidson College while continuing my work with children with autism.

I am now a fully licensed counselor and am grateful to have my own practice, where I strive to create a supportive, compassionate space for clients to grow and heal.

Elizabeth Lara

Therapist

Virtual • North Carolina


Hi, I’m Liz! I help clients heal from past trauma and uncover the root of what’s keeping them feeling stuck. Trauma can shape the way you see yourself, others, and the world—often showing up as anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or difficulty setting healthy boundaries.

My work focuses on addressing these deeper patterns to support lasting healing and meaningful personal growth. For those who desire it, I also offer the option to integrate Christian faith into the counseling process.

I believe therapy should not only be effective but also feel human and approachable. We’ll roll up our sleeves and do the work together, while also making space for moments of lightness along the way.

Tanya Shepherd

Therapist

Virtual • Charlotte, NC


I believe meaningful healing begins when individuals feel seen, heard, and understood. As a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor, I bring over four years of clinical counseling experience, along with more than twenty-two years as a school psychologist, to support children, individuals, and families.

With more than two decades in education, I became deeply aware of how essential mental health support is for children and families. I witnessed firsthand how emotional challenges can affect learning, relationships, and overall well-being—and how transformative the right support can be.

These experiences led me to pursue a career in mental health counseling. Today, I partner with adults to help them build a strong, grounded foundation for themselves, one that naturally extends to their children and strengthens the family as a whole. I also remain committed to supporting teens as they enter adulthood, helping them develop the tools and confidence needed for lifelong well-being.

Find an expert who truly understands ADHD

Headway helps you stay on track with expert-guided support for ADHD — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an ADHD Therapist in Durham

Finding ADHD therapists in Durham starts with knowing what kind of support you want. Therapists can help with executive function skills, cognitive behavioral therapy for ADHD, emotional regulation strategies, and support for related concerns like anxiety, depression, sleep issues, or school and work stress. Psychiatrists can provide medication management, and some people use therapy, medication management, or both. Adult ADHD and pediatric ADHD can also involve different experience, so look for a therapist whose bio lists ADHD, your age group, and the type of support you want.

Durham has a range of mental health care options, from offices near downtown and Duke to virtual appointments that can fit around work, school, or caregiving schedules. If you search for an ADHD specialist near me, adult ADHD specialist near me, or ADHD evaluation near me, consider practical fit along with specialty. Check whether the therapist is accepting new patients, offers appointment times that work for you, and has experience with ADHD and co-occurring concerns like anxiety or depression. Reading bios can help you compare approach, session structure, and communication style before you book.

Therapy in Durham can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs, and seeing your estimated out-of-pocket cost before booking can make the next step clearer. Headway helps you search for Durham therapists who list ADHD as a focus, review detailed profiles, confirm insurance details, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.
