Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • North Carolina


I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 11 years of healthcare experience. Before specializing in psychiatry, I worked in the Burn ICU and outpatient procedural settings, where I learned the importance of caring for the whole person during some of life’s most difficult moments. I earned my nursing degree from UNC Chapel Hill and my Master of Science in Nursing from Frontier Nursing University. I work with children, adolescents, and adults, and especially enjoy helping people navigate ADHD, anxiety, depression, trauma, and major life changes—like school, relationships, career stress, or grief—that can leave us feeling overwhelmed or stuck.

Sarah Barkley

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Asheville, NC


I have been in private practice for 20 years with my specialty focusing on individuals resolving historic traumas and women balancing all of the complications of womanhood in a fast paced, demanding world. My style is informed from my diverse experience. I have worked in adolescent residential treatment, FBI consulting, an expert witness and a graduate school professorship; all the while working with my private practice clients. In the last several years, I have been sought out as a corporate consultant and speaker to discuss how our negative experiences and traumas shape our behaviors as high intensity professionals.

The untapped magnificence I see in my clients never ceases to inspire and amaze me. Anyone who is willing to do hard work is already a gift to this World! I've grown bored of many things in my life but this work....never!

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands maternal mental health

Headway helps you find expert-guided support for every stage of motherhood — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Postpartum Therapist in Durham, NC

Finding postpartum therapists in Durham starts with looking for care that fits the specific concerns that can come up during and after pregnancy. Postpartum support can address more than postpartum depression, including postpartum anxiety, birth-related stress, identity shifts, relationship strain, and concerns that began during pregnancy. As you compare therapists, look for listed experience in perinatal mental health, maternal counseling, or maternity therapy. The PMH-C credential can also signal specialized training in perinatal mental health.

In Durham, you may find postpartum mental health therapists offering sessions near local neighborhoods and medical centers, along with virtual care across North Carolina. For new parents, virtual appointments can make access easier when schedules change, infant care is limited, or physical recovery affects travel. Along with specialty experience, consider appointment times, whether the therapist is accepting new clients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios can help you understand how they describe their approach, communication style, and experience with prenatal depression, postpartum depression, and related concerns.

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 what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you find postpartum therapists in Durham who accept a wide range of insurance plans, show current availability, and may be accepting new clients. You can compare bios, check estimated out-of-pocket costs, and book directly when you are ready.
