Dr. Jacqueline Flowers

Dr. Jacqueline Flowers

Psychologist

Virtual & in-person • 19 mi away • Durham, NC


I am a licensed psychologist providing services across the lifespan, although my training has provided me with a strong understanding of child and adolescent development, school based difficulties, and learning differences. I completed my doctorate in School Psychology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and my pre-doctoral clinical internship at the Carolina Institute for Developmental Disabilities (CIDD). My master’s degree was completed in Counseling & Guidance at New York University. I specialize in treating children and teens with neurodevelopmental disabilities, including ADHD and autism.


My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, flexible, and informed by evidence-based practices. I provide individual psychotherapy for children and adolescents to address a range of issues, including anxiety, depression, stress-related difficulties, academic challenges, emotional difficulties, behavioral challenges, and relationship challenges.


Together, we'll consider what isn’t working and develop insights for how to change. I combine multiple treatment techniques, including CBT, DBT, and other behavioral/solution-focused approaches. I would be happy to speak with you about ways we may be able to work together to meet your needs. You are welcome to call or email to set up an initial consultation.

Gregory Connuck

Gregory Connuck

Therapist

In-person • 28 mi away • Chapel Hill, NC


My name is Greg, and I'm an LCSW and psychoanalytic candidate at the Psychoanalytic Center of the Carolinas. Originally from New York, I studied History of the Middle East and North Africa at Oberlin College before moving to Asheville, North Carolina. For several years, I worked doing direct care for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, as well as in-home care for older adults in the general population. While caring for my clients in these settings, I became interested in psychoanalysis as a way to more thoroughly understand their experiences. I then attended the Social Work program at Western Carolina University, where I specialized in the treatment of substance use disorders, working at an intensive outpatient program and a state treatment center offering affordable detoxification and acute care. After graduating, I moved to the Triangle to pursue psychoanalytic training, and am now in clinical practice in Chapel Hill.
