I know how hard it is to learn to talk about difficult things. That made me want to help others learn to do the same. I started by volunteering at rape crisis and domestic violence shelters. When I was at these places I did outreach in the community and ran support groups for both. For a time, I took rape crisis hospital calls to support people who had come in for sexual assault exams. This work that taught me to be comfortable talking about anything, at any time, with anyone. I have worked with all types of individuals from ages 12 and up. My first Masters was an intensive dive into Human Rights. My second Masters was in Counseling so I could work with individuals to help them beyond the crisis moments. My passion is to help people progress towards healing.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Durham
Searching for therapists in Durham starts with finding someone whose training fits what you want to work on. Therapists may support people living with anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, relationship challenges, trauma, and life transitions. As you compare Durham therapists, look for specialties, therapy styles, and populations served. A therapist’s bio can help you understand whether they offer approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or acceptance and commitment therapy.
Durham has a range of therapy options across neighborhoods near Duke University, downtown Durham, Southpoint, and surrounding areas, with both in-person and virtual appointments available. Some people prefer meeting in an office, while others choose virtual care for more scheduling flexibility. To narrow your search, review whether a therapist is accepting new clients, offers appointment times that fit your schedule, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can also show how a therapist describes their communication style, session structure, and areas of focus.
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 see your estimated cost before you book. Headway helps you find Durham therapists who match your preferences, and you can browse profiles to compare insurance information, availability, and booking options when you’re ready.
