Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 25 mi away • Durham, NC


Hello, and welcome! My name is Tierra Allen and I’m a licensed therapist with over nine years of experience in the field of Social Work, having transitioned into therapy in 2020. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of working with children, teens, and adults, helping them navigate life’s challenges and develop healthier ways to cope. I specialize in working with men, women and teen girls, helping them regulate emotions, build resilience, and respond to stress in ways that promote growth and emotional well-being. My practice currently serves teens and adults. If you or your teen is struggling with overwhelming feelings or challenges in life, I’m here to support you in creating lasting change and finding peace amidst the chaos with a healthy RESET.

Shannon Lomasney

Shannon Lomasney

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 25 mi away • Durham, NC


My name is Shannon Lomasney (she/her), and I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I’m passionate about working with therapists and helping professionals who are deeply committed to their clients, their work, and their own growth—yet find themselves questioning whether the way they’re currently practicing, living, or showing up still feels sustainable and true to who they are. Many of my clients are thoughtful, compassionate, and highly self-aware, who have spent years investing in their personal and professional development. Oftentimes they find themselves navigating burnout, perfectionism, self-doubt, compassion fatigue, or uncertainty about what comes next. Whether you’re feeling disconnected from yourself, exploring a new direction in your career, or longing for a deeper sense of balance and fulfillment, I can offer a space to slow down, explore what’s beneath the surface, and reconnect with what matters most.

Daran Edmonds

Daran Edmonds

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Carrboro, NC


I earned my Master of Social Work from UNC–Chapel Hill in 1999 and have more than 25 years of experience helping adults and families navigate emotional distress, relationship difficulties, and major life challenges. My background includes work as a psychotherapist and child welfare social worker.

I bring experience, steadiness, and genuine curiosity to my work. I am interested not only in what people are struggling with, but in how they came to experience themselves and their lives in the ways they do.

Through Headway, I provide insurance-based therapy to individual adults only. I do not see couples through insurance.
