Therapists in Durham, NC

Greetings, please call me Liz! I help people with anxiety and trauma feel better and more peaceful. I'd love to meet you and get on your support team. I love being a counselor and very much enjoy seeing others happy and healthy! I use various counseling practices that you and I will agree upon, and plan for, as we get started. I hope to meet you and help you move toward the life you want to be living. Putting yourself first is the most important thing you will do today! I also lead an amazing team of counselors at Lifeologie Counseling Raleigh. We'd love to meet your needs and get you connected with the best counselor for you!

At times we may feel that there’s no one that can understand us or fear not looking like the “strong” friend. We struggle to talk about our emotions and often wear masks out of the belief that nothing will change. Do you struggle to take up space in conversations or in a room due to lack of confidence? Or constant feelings of inadequacy due to struggles in managing high expectations placed upon you? Are you a person that struggles to show your body love and compassion? Have you had a history of disordered eating and want to work towards unsubscribing from diet culture and embrace the skin you’re in?

I'm so busy, I'm overwhelmed, I'm so burned out, I have a lot going on right now. If you have ever used one or more of the previous statement therapy may be for you. I work with clients to explore ways in which stress, anxiety, and burnout impact our lives and how we can navigate them successfully. I strive to meet the needs of each client in the areas of anxiety, depression, grief/loss, imposter syndrome, lgbtqia+ issues, self esteem, racial/ ethnic identity concerns, social justice, and trauma. I love helping people step in their greatness.

My interactions with clients are grounded in compassion, respect, empathy, and an understanding of cultural impacts. I consider the role of a therapist as helping to educate and empower clients so that they develop the insight and skills necessary to overcome their own personal and situational challenges. Many of my clients are dealing with transitions or difficult life events. My approach is gentle, supportive, inclusive, highly informed and effective.

Hello! I am so glad you are here. I am a clinical social worker and am truly passionate about my work with individuals and couples.

I consider my therapeutic approach as “eclectic” and draws upon multiple theoretical orientations and techniques, including behavioral and person-centered therapy.

My relatable and “non-judgmental” approach includes developing a trusting clinical alliance early on in the treatment process with clients.

I believe that the therapeutic relationship can help you grow, heal, and cope with the challenges of life. You don't have to put it off anymore. I help children, teens, adults, couples and families find relief from anxiety, stress and worry so they can find more peace and joy in their relationships and their lives. With counseling, each conversation is an opportunity to understand yourself better, develop relationships, laugh more often, feel optimistic, incorporating solution-focused strategies that can make a difference everyday.

Life can be daunting and stressful, and there are solutions. I believe it is within us all to become energized to lead happy, productive lives. Sometimes we need some extra support to reach our goals. My favorite part about being a psychotherapist is helping people realize their strengths and become empowered to lead healthy lives. This power is within all of us, and I can help you tap into it. I have a very broad background in the mental health field for the past 30 years. My practice gravitates toward helping people who are in relationship with people who have Narcissistic personality traits.

Are you wanting to begin or restart your therapy journey? Are you hoping to understand more about yourself and create positive changes to enjoy your life more fully? We are made up of thoughts and behaviors, as well as pre-determined biases and beliefs, from our experience in life. As we navigate life, these areas may start to change. The internal wants/needs vs external experience of life may become shifted and not entirely in alignment any longer. This can cause anxiety, obsessive behaviors, disordered thinking/acting, and lack of connection with ourselves, in addition to many other symptoms of mental health unmet needs.

My goal in therapy is to guide you in self-exploration so you can better understand yourself and the issues you face, and then learn what it looks like to live in alignment with your values. At the foundation of this work is a trustworthy therapeutic relationship. I have experience and am trained to help clients navigate eating disorders/disordered eating, anxiety, depression, religious trauma, pregnancy/postpartum, and significant life transitions. I am an LGBTQIA+ affirming clinician devoted to creating a safe space for all identities. I enjoy working with clients of all ages and am Health at Every Size (HAES) aligned.

You are not what you feel. You are not even what you think. You are what you do. Acceptance & Commitment Therapy is about taking thoughts and feelings and using them for what they're supposed to be: data. They are merely to let us know how we're responding to our environment. It is up to our higher cognitions, our rational thoughts, to decide what to do with that information. My clients range from those with neurodevelopmental issues, mood disorders, and life adjustment events. The premise is the same in all cases: understand ourselves, what we feel and think, figure out WHY we think that way, and then decide what to do with it.

Welcome! Have you noticed yourself slipping into the motions of daily life? You might be feeling like you are getting by, but you are left with wanting more connection, more intimacy, more fulfillment from work or hobbies, or more bandwidth to tune into and prioritize your needs and goals. I work with individuals (teens and adults) interested in connecting deeper with their most authentic self, enhancing communication and boundaries, exploring how they show up in their interpersonal relationships, and feeling more at home in their body.
