Hi, I'm Matthew, your individual and couples therapist, specializing in relationships. I'm a licensed counselor, trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy, and deeply curious about people. I find that when we have space, we can learn to be fully alive. Therapy can be that space for you. If you are ready to be curious about yourself, why you do things, and create a life you love, please reach out.
I bring over 20 years of experience in mental health, addiction counseling, public health, and higher education leadership into my work with clients. My approach is grounded in both clinical expertise and lived experience, which allows me to meet you not just as a professional—but as a whole person who understands complexity, transition, and healing on multiple levels.
My work centers on helping individuals reconnect with who they are at their core—beyond survival, expectations, or systems that may have shaped them. I integrate emotional wellness, identity exploration, and purpose-driven growth into our work together.
Whether you are navigating anxiety, burnout, life transitions, relationship challenges, or questions around identity and purpose, I create a space where you can show up fully and begin the process of realignment and healing.

I'm a licensed psychologist with 19 years of experience providing counseling and guidance for people like you. I'm passionate about helping people know their true identity and worth. I love to help people gain hope and move forward from the painful situations or relationships that have led to them feeling "stuck" and believing lies about themselves.
I have a doctoral degree (PsyD) from Rosemead School of Psychology (2010). In addition to generalized training, I have training in grief, women's issues, adoption and infertility, divorce, and abuse recovery. I have done intensive training in ADHD assessment and treatment across the lifespan, and intensive training in Gottman Method Couples counseling.
Hi, I’m Rachel — a Licensed Clinical Social Worker passionate about supporting people as they navigate life’s complexities and transitions. My work centers on helping individuals explore identity, heal from trauma, and build more fulfilling relationships with themselves and others.
I specialize in working with adolescents and young adults, LGBTQIA+ clients, pregnant and postpartum people, and those from culturally diverse and immigrant backgrounds. Together, we can unpack the ways family dynamics, culture, and personal history shape your story — and create space for new, empowering narratives to emerge.
I believe healing happens best in spaces where you feel safe, understood, and never judged. I bring both curiosity and compassion to every session, and I genuinely love learning about the unique story that makes you you. I’m thoughtful, a little quirky in the best way, and always eager to grow... both as a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner and as a person. That means I stay open-minded, ask meaningful questions, and work collaboratively with you to find what truly fits your needs. You’re the expert on your life; I’m here to support you with knowledge, guidance, and encouragement.
Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, or just feeling stuck, I want you to know that you don’t have to figure it out alone. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and empowered to move toward the life you want.
I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor with a background in school counseling and emotional wellness support for children, teens, and adults. I work with clients navigating anxiety, stress, ADHD, life transitions, identity development, and family or relationship challenges. I aim to create a space where clients feel safe, understood, and supported. I value collaboration and use an integrative approach to tailor therapy to each person's needs, strengths, and goals.
Hi, I’m Sheena Gaddis, LCSW, and I’m so glad you’re here. I earned my Master of Social Work from Fayetteville State University and have over 15 years of experience helping people navigate life’s challenges. I believe therapy should feel like a safe, welcoming space where you can be heard without judgment. I use approaches such as CBT, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help you build coping skills, gain clarity, and create meaningful change at your own pace.
I am a warm and encouraging psychotherapist with over 15 years of experience in the field. I hold a Ph.D. in Counselor Education & Supervision and I’m licensed to practice in North & South Carolina. I’m known for having a compassionate and empathetic approach to therapy, creating a safe and non-judgmental space for my clients. In short, I believe that Jesus+Therapy=Healing!
We all need a safe place to be known and supported. For over 16 years, I’ve had the privilege of helping individuals navigate trauma and abuse recovery, relationship wounds, and seasons of transition. I’m especially drawn to one-on-one counseling and the opportunity to offer a steady presence as clients make sense of their experiences, deepen self-understanding, and move toward greater healing and connection.

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
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.
