If you're carrying grief, trauma, anxiety, or the weight of trying to hold everything together, you don't have to keep doing it alone.

You may be feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, especially if you’ve experienced trauma, toxic relationships, or emotional pain that keeps resurfacing. It can feel overwhelming trying to move forward while still carrying the weight of the past. You don’t have to do this alone. I provide a supportive space where you can begin to understand your story, break free from old patterns, and move toward a more peaceful, meaningful, and purpose-driven life.

Therapist

Virtual • North Carolina


Life can feel overwhelming when you’re trying to manage your emotions, relationships, work, family expectations, and everything else at the same time. You may look like you have it all together on the outside while internally feeling anxious, exhausted, disconnected, or unsure of what comes next.

I’m Yilian Herrera, a licensed mental health professional with 16 years of experience, who provides a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can slow down, understand what you’re experiencing, and begin making meaningful changes.

I work with teens and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD-related challenges, emotional regulation difficulties, relationship concerns, low self-worth, burnout, and major life transitions. I especially enjoy working with people who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or like they have spent a long time putting everyone else’s needs before their own.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right couples therapist for you

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

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Couples Therapist in Durham

Looking for couples therapists in Durham starts with identifying what you want to work on together. Couples therapy and couples counseling can support partners navigating communication challenges, conflict patterns, trust after infidelity, parenting disagreements, or major life transitions. Not all therapists have specific training in couples work, so it helps to look for licensed marriage and family therapists or therapists who list couples-focused approaches, such as the Gottman Method or emotionally focused therapy, in their bios.

In a mid-sized city like Durham, you may find both local office options and virtual appointments that make scheduling easier for both partners. The right fit often depends on practical details, including appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether the session format works for both schedules. As you compare Durham couples counseling options, read each therapist’s profile for clues about how they structure sessions, how they describe their communication style, and whether they offer a brief consultation to assess fit before booking.

Marriage counseling in Durham, NC 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 compare couples therapists in Durham who are accepting new patients, review estimated out-of-pocket costs after entering your insurance details, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
