Hello, I have a nearly 10 years experience in a mental health field, working with populations from all different backgrounds and cultures.
I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with 3 years of experience. I attended graduate school at Duke University School of Nursing. I have special interests in Spravato, Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy and Addiction but enjoy working with all kinds of people. I am direct but caring and want you to be your true self during sessions. My goal is to help you make decisions about your care that resonate with you and fit into your life without becoming a burden.
Get what you need! That is my philosophy! I am pleased to hold space for individuals that is warm, relaxing, neutral, and intentional. My goal is for clients to explore who they are, process as they need to, and become empowered to change as they see fit. With over 20 years of Social Work practice and experience, a few of my specific treatment areas include individuals living with Sickle Cell Disease, Survivors of Intimate Partner Abuse, Depression, Anxiety, Grief, and Stress.
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Financial Social Worker who helps clients navigate anxiety, depression, relationships, and major life transitions. My goal is to create a safe, judgment-free space where healing and growth can take place. I believe that emotional and financial health are deeply connected, and I help clients build healthier relationships with both themselves and their money. My approach is compassionate, practical, and rooted in empowerment and self-awareness.
Welcome! I'm so glad you're here. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you feel heard, valued, and encouraged. Together, we'll build on your strengths, explore practical solutions, and take meaningful steps toward the life you want. I look forward to walking alongside you on your journey.
I earned my BSN from Duke University in 2014, my Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) degree from Gonzaga University in 2017, and my Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) degree from Johns Hopkins University in 2020. I also completed a Plant-Based Nutrition certification through Cornell University. My background spans both community and mental health care, including experience at a large community health center in Washington, DC, where I worked with individuals from diverse backgrounds and life circumstances. My foundation in family medicine has given me extensive experience caring for people with co-occurring mental health and complex medical conditions. I also have significant experience supporting individuals who have experienced trauma and strive to provide compassionate, whole-person care that meets each patient's unique needs.
Hi, I’m Samantha Maybern, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a passion for helping individuals and families feel supported, understood, and empowered. I have experience working with children, adults, and families facing anxiety, depression, trauma, behavioral concerns, life transitions, and relationship stress. My approach is compassionate, practical, and strengths-based, while also honoring each client’s values and personal journey. I believe healing happens through connection, trust, and learning new ways to move forward.
I believe everyone deserves to experience the joy and peace that comes from healing. If you're feeling stuck in darkness, weighed down by past experiences, or caught in negative thought patterns, you're not alone—and you don't have to navigate it by yourself.
For more than 34 years, I've helped individuals, primarily women, heal from trauma, build self-esteem, and create meaningful, lasting change. I have advanced training in EMDR and specialize in helping clients process traumatic experiences so they can move forward with greater confidence and emotional freedom.
My approach is holistic, recognizing the connection between your mind, body, and emotions. Together, we'll create a safe, supportive space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to reach your therapy goals. My hope is to help you move beyond simply surviving so you can fully experience the joy, fulfillment, and life you deserve.
Hi, I’m Emily Long, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over a decade of experience supporting children, adolescents, families, and school communities across North Carolina. My background includes extensive work in school mental health, behavioral support, crisis intervention, and helping individuals navigate emotional and life challenges with compassion and practical support.
I hold a Master of Social Work (MSW) from Tulane University and my professional experience has centered around supporting children, adolescents, and adults with anxiety, depression, emotional regulation difficulties, behavioral concerns, trauma, school-related stress, ADHD, and family challenges. I also work closely with adults who are experiencing burnout, stress, compassion fatigue, life transitions, or feeling overwhelmed by the demands of work and caregiving.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an OCD Therapist in Raleigh, NC
Searching for OCD therapists in Raleigh starts with finding someone trained in obsessive-compulsive disorder care, not just general anxiety support. OCD can involve intrusive thoughts, compulsive behaviors, reassurance seeking, avoidance, and distress tied to specific fears or routines. Exposure and response prevention, often called ERP, is one therapy approach some clinicians use when supporting people living with OCD, and not all therapists are trained in it. As you compare therapists, look for bios that specifically mention ERP, OCD, intrusive thoughts, compulsions, anxiety, or related concerns.
Raleigh has a strong mental health care community, but the right fit still depends on practical details. Some people prefer an in-person office near downtown, North Hills, or other parts of the Triangle, while others choose virtual appointments for more schedule flexibility. When reviewing OCD therapists, look closely at whether they list ERP training, how they describe their work with OCD, and whether they offer appointment times that fit your calendar. A therapist who lists OCD as an area of familiarity may have different training than one who clearly describes ERP experience, so reading profiles before booking can help you make a more informed choice.
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 care easier to plan for. Headway helps you find OCD therapists who are accepting new patients, review their specialties and availability, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. You can compare bios, check fit, and book directly when you’re ready.
