Therapists in Chapel Hill, NC

I am a licensed psychologist specializing in clinical child and adolescent psychology. Whether you are a parent concerned about your child's socio emotional well-being, a teenager feeling disconnected and lost, or a young adult struggling with life's transitions and relationships, I can support you or your child to live a life with joy and purpose. By promoting mindful awareness I help my young clients make changes in their lives towards wellness. I am trained and experienced in a broad range of issues, including anxiety, depression, autism spectrum, ADHD, mood, adoption, adjustment, and other social and behavioral difficulties.

Hi, my name is Eleri (rhymes with “celery”)! I am a child and adolescent mental health therapist specialized in developmental and psychiatric disabilities. While I am rooted in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), I integrate elements of several modalities including dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), motivational interviewing, play therapy, and adventure/experiential therapy into my practice. My primary focus is providing individual psychotherapy to children, teens, and college students (ages 5 to 25).

As a clinician, I have experience working with individuals, groups, adults, adolescent, and children in the following areas: skill-building, social development, trauma, anxiety, and other mental health needs. Over the course of my career, I have gained clinical experience from a variety of settings including small and large non-profits along with educational and church settings.

Hi, my name is Kate! I am a child and adolescent mental health therapist specialized in developmental and psychiatric disabilities. I work from a trauma-informed approach that combines various modalities including child-centered play therapy, person centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and motivational interviewing. My primary focus is providing individual psychotherapy to children, teens, and college students. I am also available for parent consultations where I collaborate with caregivers to identify parenting solutions most suitable and beneficial for each family.

I value and enjoy working with clients of all ages. Primary areas of focus are: coping with life transitions, helping clients to have more satisfying relationships, working with parents to support attachment goals for healthy development of their child, and sitting with the grief that our inevitable losses bring. I specialize in working with clients with eating disorders, trauma and PTSD, and anxiety disorders. My approach is integrative, drawing from effective treatments (DBT, CBT, attachment-based) to meet your particular needs. I provide short-term and long-term services to individuals and families.

I work primarily with children and teens, although I do some assessments (ADHD, LD, cognitive, adaptive) for all ages.

Your child may not be exactly in sync with the world around them, facing challenges like Olympic-level fidgeting or having challenges socially or academically. They may feel frustrated, isolated, and misunderstood, with their behavior being challenging and intense in how they relate to others. Such behaviors can create a rollercoaster of emotions, not just for them but also for you as their parent. As they navigate the ups and downs of their social and academic world, it can become downright overwhelming. These behaviors are not fleeting phases; it's their way of saying, 'Houston, we have a problem.'

Good psychotherapy requires a "match" between client(s) and therapist and avoids "stretching the client to fit the couch." Finding the right psychotherapist involves both clinical skill and personality match. A good therapist is genuine, warm, and offers a human relationship with active listening, guidance, and good advice. As a Marriage & Family Therapist, what I offer as a clinician is an active style of psychotherapy with a high regard for where you are in your journey, what your goals are, and what things can be pointed out and changed along the path to growth and improved relationships.

Currently accepting new clients for spring 2024. I currently have limited weekly therapy openings, with some morning and early afternoon weekday options. After school appointment times for kids/teens are extremely limited and may be on a waiting list. Potential new clients can schedule a free 15-minute consultation online via my website, leave me a voice message, or email me to connect. I typically see clients weekly at a usual standing time. Regular parent visits are also required for my child/teen clients.

Families come to me because their child or adolescent is struggling, and often times they don’t know where to begin to make things better. I work with children, teens, their parents, and young adults (up to age 25). I initially focus on learning about a person's challenges and strengths. Then, together we develop a plan for gaining mastery over difficulties, achieving goals, and ultimately reaching a child, teen, or early adult's potential. Often challenges feel overwhelming when first seeking help, but most families find initial sessions to clarify goals while also setting the stage for long-sought change.

Are you feeling stuck in your life? Unsure of how to change things for the better? Are you struggling with perfectionism, self-esteem, anxiety, adjusting to new or difficult life experiences? It can be overwhelming and isolating when you’re struggling emotionally. If you or your adolescent can relate to these experiences, there is hope. As a therapist I have to come to understand my clients needs and believe in the following: you can increase Self-acceptance, create positive change through your own Wisdom and begin to heal with the support of an Authentic and Nurturing therapeutic relationship. S.W.A.N. is more than just a name.

Are you aged 13 to 30 and struggling with anxiety, grief, or self-doubt? Do you want to explore what's most important to you, your strengths, and what's keeping you stuck? I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where we'll work together to help you envision a fulfilling life and create pathways to your goals. My approach is validating, holistic, and down-to-earth. All kinds of teens and young adults will find a caring environment here, whether you're on the autism spectrum, living with ADHD, part of the diverse LGBTQ+ community, or none of the above at all. Your unique experiences are valid; I'm here to listen and support you.

Short wait list for new clients. Are you or your child struggling with a difficult transition in life, anxiety, depression, body image distress, or low self-esteem? I see individuals of all ages, although my experience counseling children and adolescents suffering from eating disorders led me to discover a strong interest in working with children (10 years and older), teens, families, and emerging adults. I understand that a therapeutic alliance between counselor and client is essential, and focus initial sessions on building that bond.

I offer a free 1 hour session so we know how well we work together! Do you look around you and wonder why other people are so happy? Why do they have so much energy? How are they so productive and are able to laugh and joke like they do? Do you want to see more of these qualities in yourself? I really want to help you become that person because I was there too! I specialize in helping people reduce depression and become the happy productive person they want to be. Through Positive Psychology oriented/strength-based work, CBT, and DBT informed therapy I can help you gain these skills.

Do you struggle with depression, anxiety or self-worth? Are you still grieving something you thought you were over? Do you need to reduce stress? Therapy is a wonderful place to reduce difficult feelings and improve self-care. Therapy is a safe place-no judgement- but honest, caring support and guidance.

Not accepting new clients. Telehealth available! I relish working with individuals of color, and LGBTQQIA+ and immigrant communities. I particularly love partnering with adolescents and young adults embarking on the task of identity formation. I work with Individuals ages 12+, as well as Parents (as a certified Triple P parenting provider), or Families. Working with me as a therapist you can expect someone who is warm, adaptable with evidence-based modalities, and focused on YOUR values. I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor and parenting provider. I speak Spanish fluently!

As a Therapist, I believe that central to our success is a safe, supportive therapeutic relationship. I prioritize creating a safe relational space for my clients so that we can identify areas of strength and areas of growth. I specialize in Mood Disorders such as anxiety and depression, Eating Disorders, life transitions, Gender and Sexuality, and social/relational issues. I am a Certified EMDR Practitioner with extensive training and experience in supporting LGBTQIA+ adolescents and adults through transitions and mental health distress.

I love to help clients identify and break harmful patterns of behavior and work towards a healthier, more sustainable, balance that improves their lives. My style is compassionate, yet direct and transparent. I see problematic behaviors as coping mechanisms for underlying stressors/emotional experiences that need processing. I have extensive experience working with clients with eating disorders and addictions. As a former HS teacher, I enjoy working with young adults. I believe that relationships heal. In every case, I consider clients' contexts, which have great impact on their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Mindfulness practice is built-in to my approach.

I am committed to working with children, teenagers, and young adults to overcome obstacles in their lives. I create a safe and compassionate environment where individuals can explore their issues and increase their well-being and quality of life. My primary approach to therapy is collaborative, and I believe each person's needs are unique and require a different framework. My work is grounded in respect, empathy, and compassion. My goal is to make sure every client leaves feeling empowered and well educated to tackle the various challenges that can arise in their lives.
