Gregory Connuck

Gregory Connuck

Therapist

In-person • 24 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.

Ruby Mcarthur

Therapist

Virtual • North Carolina


As a clinician, I enjoy working with everyone in all phases of life helping in building self-esteem, managing addiction, trauma, self-discovery, medication management, anger management, re-establishing one's dreams/purpose, building/strengthening relationships one has with self, partners or family systems.

I have worked with foster children, young adults, primary care staff and patients, those who struggled with substance abuse in a methadone clinic, provided supervision to non-licensed social workers in the hospital.

I welcome the opportunity to meet with you for a consultation to see if working together would be a great match like a grilled cheese or peanut butter sandwich.

Best of luck on your journey to health and wellness.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right addiction counselor for you

Headway makes it easier to find support for overcoming addiction — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Addiction Therapist in Raleigh

Finding addiction therapists in Raleigh starts with understanding what kind of support fits your needs. Addiction care can include support for alcohol use, drug use, substance use concerns, gambling, or other behavioral patterns. Some therapists use approaches like motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, or harm reduction frameworks. You may also want a therapist who can coordinate with a prescriber if medication is part of your care plan.

Raleigh offers a range of mental health care options, and the right fit depends on more than specialty alone. Consider whether you prefer in-person sessions near your home, work, or campus, or virtual appointments that give you more scheduling options across North Carolina. Recovery does not follow one fixed path, so it can help to look for a therapist whose bio mentions nonjudgmental support, harm reduction, relapse prevention, or experience with co-occurring concerns like anxiety, depression, or trauma. You can also compare appointment times, therapy approach, and whether a free phone consultation is offered before booking.

Therapy in Raleigh can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower session costs and make ongoing support easier to plan for. Headway helps you search for addiction therapists who are accepting new patients, review detailed bios, verify insurance, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book, so you can find someone who matches your needs, accepts your plan, and has time available.

If you or someone you know is experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms — especially from alcohol or benzodiazepines — talk to a medical provider or seek emergency care before starting outpatient therapy. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction or substance use and is in a crisis, immediately reach out to:

* 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline — call or text 988 * SAMHSA National Helpline — 1-800-662-HELP (4357), free, confidential, 24/7 * Crisis Text Line — text HOME to 741741
