Luke Hayslip

Therapist

Virtual • North Carolina


Hi, I'm Luke. I work with burned-out professionals, neurodivergent adults, LGBTQIA+ folx, and people navigating anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges — including healthcare workers and educators who spend their days caring for others but rarely turn that care inward. I use a trauma-informed, psychodynamic approach and bring my own lived experience as a queer and neurodivergent person to the work. I'm well-versed in non-monogamy, polyamory, and kink dynamics, and welcome clients who don't fit the mold of traditional therapy. I own and operate Radiant Waves Counseling and am licensed in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and Texas.

Danielle Emerson

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • North Carolina


After working 15+ years as an RN I am so excited to be making a difference as a provider of mental healthcare. Working from home allows me to offer better calendar flexibility to accommodate different schedules and to take care of my aging dogs at home!

I am compassionate and empathetic and here to help you reach your goals and become the best version of yourself.

During my training I worked primarily in community behavioral health. It is my goal to beneficially serve the community and provide support to those who need it while hoping to reduce barriers and stigmas that prevent people from getting the care they really need and deserve. Access is for everyone and I want to be a beacon of that message.

I have a certificate in Spanish for Healthcare Providers and as soon as I become a little more fluent I will be able to extend my services, accurately, into a second language.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Raleigh

Searching for therapists in Raleigh starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. Raleigh therapists may work with concerns like anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, life transitions, stress, or trauma. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, approach, and experience match what you want to address. Provider bios can show whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care, and what you can expect in sessions.

Raleigh has a range of therapy options across neighborhoods and nearby communities, with both in-person and virtual appointments available. If you prefer in person therapy in Raleigh, NC, location, commute time, and office hours may shape your search. If your schedule changes often, virtual therapy may make it easier to find appointment times that fit. Beyond specialty, consider whether a therapist is accepting new patients, offers scheduling flexibility, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading bios before booking can help you understand communication style, session structure, and whether the therapist’s approach feels aligned with what you’re looking for.

Therapy in Raleigh can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make care easier to plan for. Headway helps you find Raleigh therapists who are accepting new patients, review detailed profiles, verify your insurance, and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. From individual therapy to couples therapy Raleigh residents may be searching for, Headway makes it easier to compare therapists, check fit, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
