Jodi Murati

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • North Carolina


I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who works with children, adolescents, and adults. I understand that reaching out for psychiatric care can feel overwhelming—especially when you’ve been struggling for a while, have tried treatments that haven’t worked, or are trying to find the right help for your child.

I work with individuals experiencing ADHD, anxiety, depression, OCD, mood disorders, trauma-related symptoms, autism/neurodivergence, sleep difficulties, and emotional or behavioral dysregulation. My goal is to provide a space where you feel heard, understood, and comfortable being honest about what is and isn’t working.

While I work with all ages across the lifespan, I especially enjoy working with children and adolescents and patterning with parents who are trying to understand complex behavioral, emotional, or attention concerns.

Christina Miller

Christina Miller

Therapist

Virtual • North Carolina


I’m Christina, a warm, down-to-earth therapist who genuinely enjoys getting to know people and understanding what makes them who they are.

I’ve spent more than 15 years working with people in schools, hospitals, community mental health, crisis intervention, and trauma-focused settings. Along the way, I’ve supported veterans, first responders, trauma and abuse survivors, parents, professionals, adolescents, and neurodivergent individuals.

My path into therapy has given me the opportunity to sit with people during some incredibly difficult moments. It has taught me that there is almost always more to someone than what we see on the surface - and that life rarely fits neatly into categories.

I’m interested in the whole picture: your experiences, relationships, strengths, struggles, sense of humor, values, and the things you may not always understand about yourself.

I also believe therapy can be both meaningful and human. There will be serious conversations, but there can also be laughter, honesty, and those moments when something finally clicks.

You don’t have to have an impressive story or a perfect explanation for why you’re here. We can start with wherever life has you right now.

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands OCD

Headway helps you manage obsessive-compulsive disorder with expert-guided support — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an OCD Therapist in Durham

Searching for OCD therapists in Durham starts with finding someone trained in care for obsessions, compulsions, intrusive thoughts, and related anxiety. Exposure and response prevention, often called ERP, is one therapy approach some clinicians use when supporting people with OCD, and not every therapist has training in it. As you compare therapists, look for OCD, ERP, anxiety, phobias, and depression in their listed specialties, and read each bio for details about their approach.

Durham has a strong mental health community, with options near local neighborhoods, nearby campuses, and surrounding areas of the Triangle. Still, the right fit depends on more than location. Consider whether you prefer in-person sessions in Durham or virtual appointments that expand access beyond nearby offices. It also helps to check whether a therapist is accepting new patients, offers scheduling times that work for you, and clearly describes experience with ERP rather than general familiarity with OCD.

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 understand your expected out-of-pocket cost before you book. Headway helps you compare therapists who match your needs, review bios, verify insurance, see estimated costs upfront, and book directly when you’re ready.
