"Individuals and couples who come to me are usually feeling frustrated and stuck in a variety of ways, and are unable to see how to move ahead. We begin by working together to find a shared understanding of their difficulties from which we chart a path toward constructive change. My listening with respect and understanding can be helpful in itself. The assistance of a trained eye can reveal patterns of behavior and emotional reactions which are self defeating for my clients. Constructive alternatives to these patterns can then be considered and practiced with my guidance."

"I specialize in the treatment of OCD, OC-Spectrum, and Anxiety Disorders. I have worked in a variety of mental health settings, including inpatient psychiatry, residential, and community mental health. Prior to starting my practice, Bull City Anxiety, I worked at McLean Hospital's OCD Institute in Boston, MA."

"I provide services to individuals and couples in a supportive environment where we can navigate through the difficult transitions that life presents. I truly believe in the healing power of therapy and have seen firsthand the positive impact therapy can have in a person's life. I am honored to take on life's challenges with you by providing support, guidance, and comfort."

"We are a therapy practice of experienced clinicians who specialize in working with disordered eating, food, weight, and body image struggles, perinatal and postpartum challenges, relationship difficulties, and women's issues. We recognize the complexity of various stressors facing individuals in these challenging times and we welcome those who are new to the therapy experience as well as those who are seeking a new therapy process. Our therapists are trained in evidence-based modalities but put you and your needs first, when determining the best treatment approach. Most important is listening to you and establishing a safe environment for a healing relationship to develop."

"My practice provides counseling for adolescents and adults, in addition to clinical supervision of LPCAs. I specialize in treating persons 13 and up struggling with mood disorders, relationship issues, family conflict, life transitions, parenting concerns, body image and grief/loss. I am a National Certified Counselor (#310456), Licensed Professional Counselor & Clinical Supervisor, (#S10026), and founder of ASH Counseling, PLLC in Durham, NC. I believe in the strength of a positive, trusting therapeutic relationship, and am dedicated to providing a relaxed, non-judgmental environment for you to explore important issues in."

"Many of my clients relate to the experience of feeling "othered", different or as existing outside of culturally-constructed margins. In our increasingly isolationist world, feeling different or other is becoming a common experience. While many things may remind us of our difference, or "non-normativity", in therapy I aim to collaboratively uncover and identify the worth and purpose that I believe exist in all humxn beings. I believe that all concerns, struggles, challenges, curiosities and explorations brought to therapy are related to relationships--the relationship we have with ourselves and other people. Often, clients express a need for deep connection and goals involve enhancing relationships, identifying emotions, coping more effectively with emotions, and nourishing self-worth and confidence. Research on therapeutic effectiveness has repeatedly demonstrated that therapeutic relationship is the principle determinant of positive therapeutic outcome. Thus, when I first meet clients, client-therapist relationship and chemistry is the primary emphasis and catalyst for change. "

"I enjoy providing competent, caring, and ethical psychotherapy and assessments to children, teenagers, and adults. I work with individuals with a broad range of mental health concerns (such as adjustment to major life stressors and transitions, depression, anxiety, chronic pain, sleep problems, etc.), and have a specialization in working with adults (including Veterans) who have experienced or witnessed trauma, and those who may be coping with race-related stress and trauma. I also have a focus in psychological and psycho-educational assessments."

"I specialize in helping individuals and couples with a variety of issues including anxiety, depression, life transitions, parenting, separation and divorce, past sexual abuse and trauma and spiritual growth. I work with clients to facilitate meaningful change."

"I believe that good counseling, beginning with a natural fit between client and therapist, can be one of the most important and beneficial experiences of our lives. I am passionate about working with my clients and strive always to bring my natural compassion and creativity to each session. I find I am most helpful to clients struggling with loss, grief, depression, anxiety, and relationship issues, though I help clients work through other issues as well. Because I am trained in theology as well as psychotherapy, I bring a unique understanding of faith and spirituality to my practice, welcoming clients from any (or no) faith tradition."

"My "best" successes came from people who finally gave up on what wasn't working for them anymore and came in with an open mind. This worked with issues of anxiety and depression, habits that people didn't want to continue doing, relationships that felt broken, and coping mechanisms that used to work but then began to create more problems. I thoroughly enjoy working with people who are ready to get their lives back on track."

"I am a licensed psychologist specializing in the testing and treatment of ADD/ADHD, learning difficulties, anxiety, OCD, and depression. I have extensive training and experience in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I am energetic and take an active, skills-based approach in therapy to help my clients learn effective ways to reduce their stress/anxiety and improve their mood, behavior, organizational skills, time management, and planning skills. I also specialize in conducting comprehensive testing for ADD/ADHD and learning disabilities. Through the testing process, I help people to better understand their strengths and weaknesses, and give them specific recommendations for intervention."

"I enjoy working with individuals who are seeking lasting healing or therapeutic change. You may be experiencing depression or anxiety that is signaling the need for a different way of living and approaching your life. You may have past trauma and need a safe space to work through and integrate this. I believe patterns and old wounds live in our body and show up in many ways including in our relationships, feelings, thoughts, and physical sensations. I pay attention to these areas, including the larger systems we live in, and use a relational and psychodynamic approach to therapy combined with more alternative approaches. "

"Are you coping with stress, relationship difficulties, or loss? Feeling overwhelmed or consumed by intense emotions and thoughts? Distressed by memories of the past or worries about the future? We all need help navigating these understandable human struggles at times. Maybe you are aware of what isn't working and want help figuring out how to take steps toward change. Maybe you are confused about why you feel so stuck or unhappy. Maybe you have already invested time, money, and energy, with mixed results or limited success. It's common to feel uncertain about how to move forward or whether therapy is the right next step for you."

"WHOLE thoughts from WHOLE mind from a WHOLE person. We have work to do! Let's go."

"Welcome! You may be going through something difficult right now or are possibly looking for deeper personal growth , but regardless of what brought you here, you are opening up to new opportunities! I offer an open-hearted, compassionate approach, rooted in relational and mindfulness techniques. You have an innate strength, capable of leading you to peace and clarity, and I am here to partner with you and guide you to that place. I specialize in working with trauma, anxiety, depression, eating challenges, children and parenting, relationships, postpartum anxiety and depression, military stressors, and addictive patterns."

"I treat a wide variety of clinical disorders such as depression, anxiety, OCD, and personality disorders. However, I specialize in the treatment of addiction to drugs, alcohol, and sexually compulsive behaviors better known as “sex addiction.” The reason I don’t prefer that term is because it oversimplifies both the subjective experience and the symptoms. For example, overuse of pornography, or countless hours spent browsing single’s ads online doesn’t necessarily involve sex, but it can be compulsive."

"Tired of facing this alone? Need someone to trust to listen without placing judgment? So often, we try to handle things alone for too long. By the time we ask for help, the problem feels out of control. I want to help you to figure this out and get out from under whatever burden or decision is on you. Whether it is the past, work stress, grief over a loss, regret, anxiety, depression, or a behavior interfering with your life goals, I will work with you to try to figure this out."

"My extraordinary clients include couples, families, children and adults who are looking for guidance through the most challenging parts of their lives. Whether its pre-marital therapy, couples counseling, or individual stress; I enjoy helping clients work through their life using LGBT Affirming Techniques, Emotion Focused and Family Based Attachment. My clientele consists of mostly LGBTQIAA individuals, families and couples who are looking to create a stronger foundation and reconnect with one another."
