Bipolar disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Durham, NC

I’m a Raleigh-based licensed clinical mental health therapist offering services across North Carolina. I work with adolescents and young adults and specialize in anxiety management, emotional resilience, and relationship building.

Hi, I'm Amber Finck, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I earned my bachelor's degree in Social Work from Texas Tech University in 2014 and my Master of Science in Social Work from Abilene Christian University in 2018. After relocating to northeastern North Carolina with my husband in 2022, I began my clinical social work career.

My background in social work has taken me into homes, schools, medical settings, and communities. Before becoming a therapist, I worked in family-based services with Child Protective Services, helping families develop parenting skills, navigate challenges, and access resources to keep their families together. I also developed school-based programs through Communities In Schools and coordinated community initiatives to support children and families. These experiences taught me the importance of looking beyond someone's immediate struggles to understand the relationships, experiences, and circumstances that have shaped their lives.

Today, I work with children, adolescents, and adults navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, grief, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. I particularly enjoy helping teens and young adults build confidence, find their voice, establish healthy boundaries, and navigate the challenges of growing up and becoming independent. I also have a special interest in supporting individuals experiencing infertility, pregnancy loss, and grief.

As a Christian, my faith is an important part of who I am. I welcome incorporating Christian beliefs and values into therapy for clients who desire it, while providing a welcoming and respectful space for individuals of all faiths and backgrounds.

Welcome! My style is warm and eclectic. I draw from a variety of evidenced-based models, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Somatic and Attachment Focused EMDR, Motivational Interviewing, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy to address your concerns and distressing symptoms. I am also a registered yoga teacher (RYT-200), and I enjoy integrating aspects of yoga, including mindfulness and a mind/body approach into therapy where appropriate.

I welcome the opportunity to interact with those who are seeking support as they struggle with various mental health concerns affecting how they live each day. I have been providing this support for 22 years as a licensed provider working with a variety of concerns using an eclectic approach to such concerns as depression, anxiety, serious mental health issues, family concerns and traumas.

I am a compassionate person, who currently serves as a Travel Social Worker, where I provide essential individual and group therapy to clients in need by focusing on clinical assessments and crisis interventions. I ensure that clients experiencing self-injurious behaviors receive ongoing support. My commitment to improving mental health is further highlighted by my role as Clinical Director at Pinnacle Point Supportive Services, where I was instrumental for 14 years. In this position, I overseen a team of therapists, facilitate therapy sessions for both children and adults, and engage in court-related matters. With a strong foundation in therapy and clinical supervision, I have developed skills in treatment planning, documentation, and quality assurance.

I'm Lucy Maina, a Board Certified, Licensed Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) at Therapeutic Alliance Behavioral Health. I provide compassionate, evidence-based psychiatric care and psychotherapy for people of all ages — children, adolescents, and adults — in a safe, nonjudgmental space where your experience is always validated.

I specialize in treating anxiety, ADHD, depression, chronic fatigue, irritability, and emotional numbness, including the unique stress that comes with caregiving. I also have experience supporting neurodiverse individuals and those living with autism spectrum disorder or schizophrenia, offering sensory-considerate evaluations, communication accommodations, and relapse prevention planning tailored to your needs.

I provide a safe and collaborative space where you can feel heard, respected, and supported as you work through life’s challenges.
