Therapists in Durham County, NC

As your therapist I will work with you to resolve emotional and behavioral issues and assist you in reaching a sense of well-being. I provide services that range from therapy for anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder and grief counseling to family counseling, couples' counseling and beyond. Coaching services are also offered. As your coach I work with you to accelerate your growth and expand and maximize your opportunities in areas such as personal, relationships, career, lifestyle, finances and other areas. Coaching is about designing a more desirable future for yourself.

Do you want therapy that helps navigate you towards living a balanced life that feels less stressful and uncertain? Are you wanting to learn more about who you are, what desires you need met for your authentic self-care? How to work with your mind to reach your emotional and mental goals? We as people are becoming so imbalanced as we are navigating past traumas, a fast-moving living environment, and cultural/societal issues etc. which all can cause a variety of life imbalances. When we combine untreated mental health needs with imbalances of needs, we often feel overwhelmed and symptoms of poor mental health and wellness.

I provide therapy and assessment services to individuals of all ages, having worked with children from age 6 through adults into their 60s. I am committed to making therapy or evaluation a positive and helpful experience for all of my clients. My work with adults has included: depression, anxiety, couple's issues, physical symptoms of stress, family and peer relationships, assertiveness, weight issues, life transitions, and parent coaching. In addition, I have extensive experience working with survivors of trauma, to include adult sexual trauma, adult survivors of child sexual abuse, and post-traumatic stress disorder in both veterans and non-veterans.

Are you anxious or depressed? Going through a transition and needing support? Have a health issue that's hard to manage? If you are in the midst of changes or struggling with feelings and thoughts that interfere with your relationships, productivity, or sense of well-being, let's talk. Together we can focus on resolving problems and improving your life with practical solutions, and through cultivating self-understanding and focusing on what's most important to you.

Hi, I’m glad you’re here. My name is Imani and I’m ready to help! Everyone deserves to live a life full of safety, authenticity, and freedom. Maybe you are struggling to feel safe. Perhaps you need tools to help you or a loved one feel supported and encouraged. Is there a heightened sense of anxiety, depression, and or stress in your life? In your search for care, please know that you are not alone. I am here to help!

Suffering draws us to consider therapy, much as it sends us to any doctor. The suffering therapy focuses on is emotional and existential (a LIFE that is out of whack). If you are considering therapy it means that you take your suffering seriously and wish to seek a more fulfilling life. You know instinctively that more is possible. I have many years of experience in helping people to develop greater strength and more fulfilling relationships.

My approach to psychotherapy is that of a humanist; that is, successful therapy results in your continued evolution into your true self. My therapeutic style is gentle and engaged, and I respect your intelligence. I strive to provide an atmosphere of care and compassion which allows you to curiously explore what events, past and present are contributing to your challenges. It's important to me to take the time to understand your values and desires so that our work is grounded in how you see yourself.

If you are drawn to life's big questions, to wholistic approaches, to self reflection, to relational depth, to issues of meaning and purpose, & view people as too complex to fit in neat & easy categories, then the type of therapy I practice might be appealing & appropriate for you. Person-centered, depth-oriented individual psychotherapy is what I have practiced since 1995. It is an honor to aid my clients in the journey inward that can help their inner & outer lives become/be rich and satisfying experiences of growth & discovery, that generate ever deepening self understanding, life satisfaction, & passionate engagement with life.

*My Practice is currently full.* I began a search over 20 years ago that allowed me to experience healing in ways that honor the entire human being -not just the mind. My approach is one that honors each client's strengths and path towards wholeness. I empower clients towards their own self-healing. My work is integrative - utilizing mindfulness and inviting the soul/spirit, mind & body to drive the process of therapy. I specialize in non-pathologizing therapies. I strive to create an atmosphere of safety first and foremost. I feel that spirituality is an integral part of the healing process.

Are you having difficulty responding to life circumstances, relationships, or your own emotions and reactions? Are some things tough to navigate using your usual ways of coping? Perhaps you're longing for a fresh perspective but needing space to sort out what is happening. As I meet with clients, I offer a supportive listening environment that promotes safety, freedom of expression, compassion, and new possibilities. Together, we consider ideas for next steps. In this process, I seek to incorporate the mind-body-spirit connection, recognizing that each person is multifaceted, unique, wonderful, and full of potential.

I want to support you in healing in the deepest possible way. This has led me to explore the very roots of suffering, from the perspective of the ancient sages and from the perspective of modern trauma therapy. I support my people in experiencing the reality that exists beyond the bounds of the conditioned mind. I wield the wisdom of the body to facilitate deep transformation. I weave a nuanced understanding of the particular challenges modern minds face into what I offer to support my people in safely opening more and more fully to the freedom, love, and deep internal well-being available to us when we connect to who we truly are.

Every person I serve has a unique story. While some clients experience challenges in just one area, most experience difficulty multiple areas (mental health, trauma, loss, addiction), creating a complex, vicious cycle if not all parts are addressed. The circumstances that bring someone to therapy do not come in 'neat little packages.' I enjoy sorting out the pieces with each client, getting to the root of the issue, and offering a combination of evidence-based therapeutic interventions that help clients finally begin to experience relief, and start living a happier, more fulfilled life.

My website - www.taylorhouchens.com - I specialize in working with boys, teenagers, men, women, and families. If this is you, it is my goal to help you overcome the barriers and problems in your life that are keeping you from experiencing the freedom you are desiring. Often times, these problems are the result of trauma from childhood that is still unresolved. Perhaps you're experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, sexual abuse, PTSD, addiction (sexual, drug/alcohol, work), lack of self confidence, family issues, relationship difficulties, negative coping habits, physical or auto-immune disorders, or more. If so, I can help.

All clients are ideal to me. The journey of life places us all exactly where we need to be to heal and grow. As humans, we are exquisitely designed for this sometimes painful, sometimes joyful path. I am privileged to be able to join my clients in this work and lead them to where they want to go. I look forward to talking with you about what you would like to change in your life. For over 30 years, I have been helping a diverse clientele with a vast array of mental health, substance use, and trauma concerns in a variety of settings.

Thank you for making the hard first step of looking for a therapist. I hope the information you see here will help you make the best decision for yourself. While I connect with individuals at any age, I specialize in treating children ages four through eighteen. I believe that therapy should be a safe place and children’s voices and concerns are worth hearing. I strive to create a welcoming and non-judgemental space for my clients to learn and grow. We are partners in the therapeutic process.

Hi there! If you’ve landed on my page, there’s a high chance the universe brought you here to continue your healing journey! Welcome!

Do you feel that there is a disconnect between who you are and who you present to the world? Perhaps your relationships with others, with substances, with your religion, beliefs, or culture are not what you want them to be. Maybe you're in the midst of a life transition and asking yourself hard questions about the world around you. Whatever the reason may be, my clients bravely come to therapy, seeking ways to live a more authentic life, and I join them as we find ways to do so. I believe that we all deserve to live a life that is true to who we are, and that therapy can help us to achieve that.

For the last ten years I have been helping clients from a variety of backgrounds to move in the direction of making a meaningful, fulfilling life. I have extensive experience working with folks struggling with disordered eating and body image distress, obsessive compulsive tendencies, anxiety, depression, trauma, and challenges related to gender and sexuality. As a person who identifies as queer herself, I am strongly committed to providing a safe, non-judgemental, and affirming space for all folks in the LGTBQ community and provide letters for folks looking to receiving gender affirming medical care.

Life is a course of obstacles that requires a course of healing. Where are you in your healing journey? Perhaps you’re in the beginning, middle, or waver between different stages leaving you feeling stuck. How often are you comfortable in sharing your adversities and how they impact you? Doing this can be very intimidating due to fear of judgment and other vulnerabilities. Taking the first step in seeking help is a significant act of bravery. Our hope is that you allow Compassion Healthcare, Inc. to join you in your courageous healing process.
