Therapists in Wallburg, NC

As a clinical social worker, I am passionate about aiding clients in the healing and empowerment process. Whether it is difficulties with life's transitions or ongoing issues related to mood disorders, I take a holistic, intersectional approach with all of my clients in order to find the intervention(s) that best suit their individual needs and strengths. In particular, I focus on being an accepting and affirming environment for LGBTQi+ individuals. In general, my ultimate goal in treatment is to provide anyone and everyone a safe, stable environment where healing can occur.

Welcoming New Clients! Thank you for visiting my profile—I'm delighted you've taken this step towards your well-being. I'm here to offer a safe and nurturing space for you to work through what is holding you back.

My name is Thorne (they/them) and I am a white, queer, non-binary licensed clinical social worker associate (LCSWA) offering both individuals and couples/relationship therapy in Durham, NC. My work is grounded in fierce compassion and a belief that everyone is capable of healing and feeling like they belong. It is my experience that one of the key elements of transformative therapy is our relationship; that we are a good “fit” and that you feel safe to share your joy, anger, grief, and tears. My style is gentle, attentive, playful, and person-centered–drawing from relational, narrative, and attachment-based therapy approaches.

Let's start each day trying our best. Working together, we can practice and support identifying your values, needs, and emotions, bringing peace to your life and those around you. You deserve to live your life to the fullest. My background encompasses working with people 13 and up, including veterinarians, first responders, professionals, immigrants, and people/folx exploring sexuality or gender. If you are struggling with intimacy, anxiety, or self-esteem, please call. My techniques include mindfulness, ACT, CBT, and a bit of DBT. Let's decrease any anxiety, find methods to manage everyday stress, and learn to be kind to ourselves.

Welcome. I am a person centered, LGBTQ+ clinical mental health counselor and addictions specialist. I use an eclectic and uniquely adaptable approach for a range of ages, developmental-transitional stages towards positive shifts in attitude, behavior, and mood for the wellbeing of clients. I have advanced training using expressive arts therapy, trauma-informed care, infused with nature, and sports psychotherapy interventions. I work collaboratively with people to rebuild trust in themselves and the world. I work with local resources and help identify self strategies for increased positive life experiences.

Activist Lilla Watson expressed: “If you have come here to help me, you are wasting your time. But if you have come because your liberation is bound up with mine, then let us work together.” This vision inspires my approach to therapy: one that is collaborative, open, and exploratory, kindled by mutual feelings of trust and safety. It also reflects my philosophy toward the healing process as one that is non-linear and rooted in both individual growth and collective care.

Welcome. I specialize in LGBTQ affirmative therapy, with a focus on trans/gender identity issues. Our sessions address your authentic needs and what is important to you. This leads to improved mood and confidence and success in transitioning. As your natural self emerges, you shed old layers of self doubt, and your relationships feel more alive.

Is your child or teen acting out? Do you feel like an emotional mess? Are you coping with feelings of anxiety, depression, fatigue, or defeat that just won't seem to go away?

Are you feeling burned out at work, searching for clarity, or trying to find meaning in life? We will work together and empower you to help yourself! We have over 14 years of experience in individual counseling and consultation. We have a diverse group of professionals to assist you in seeking clarity and improving your peace.

Accepting New Clients - I am a strengths-based clinician who enjoys learning about my clients and their unique lived experience. I work with people in transition, who are still discovering themselves even later in life, and who are looking to identify what holds them back. I build a constructive dialogue with my clients, helping them gain insightful into their troubles, even when they struggle to see where their stressors lie. Even if you do not have the tools yet, but you are willing to take that first step and make a change, I will meet you every step of the way.

Maybe you want a space to process changes that are happening or you are struggling to figure out the next right steps to create the life you want. You want to live your life confidently, as the fullest version of yourself, but you are feeling alone or ashamed or overwhelmed. Or maybe you want to feel more connected to your partner, but you keep leaving interactions with them feeling like they just aren’t getting where you’re coming from. It's so easy to feel like you're stuck in the same patterns.
