Therapists in Durham, NC

I believe in acknowledging the humanness in each individual while providing a compassionate space to delve into the complicated existence of “being” in this world. I will walk alongside you as an advocate and support while you move through your journey of healing, growth and transformation. The foundation of my clinical work is person-centered, trauma-informed, and resiliency-focused.

Hi there, my name's Ben, and I specialize in Dialectic Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Somatic Therapy as a licensed social worker here in Raleigh, NC. I offer personalized and specialized support for first responders, military members, and healthcare workers. However, my scope is not limited to those individuals and I encourage anyone needing help to just take that first step and reach out. Whether seeking a positive change, navigating life challenges, or coping with mental health issues, my compassionate care is here for you as I take pride in fostering genuine, and collaborative connections with my clients.

We are a group practice of psychiatric medication management providers, psychologists, behavioral health providers and cultural workers working to provide inclusive, culturally responsive psychiatric medication management, psychological assessment support and counseling care and support.

Reaching out for support is not easy, and I admire your bravery in doing so. My name is Sanja (sounds like Tanya with an S), and I am a holistic therapist who is deeply committed to providing a compassionate and supportive space for my fellow humans on their journey toward healing and self-discovery. My own experiences and background have fueled my passion for this work, driving me to pursue specialized education and training in trauma-informed care. I understand firsthand the profound impact that trauma can have on one's life, and I am here to offer guidance, empathy, and validation as you navigate through your own experiences.

It takes immense bravery to look inward and examine our well worn patterns with a therapist; I aim to honor that bravery in every session as we explore your unique experiences, relationships, values, and goals for change. I am passionate about working with individuals navigating anxiety, grief, family of origin issues, religious trauma, struggles with self-esteem, perfectionism, life transitions, and depression.

Modern life can be overwhelming and juggling the many demanding obligations in our days leaves us depleted. However, you don't have to go at it alone. We work with clients ages 16 and up to address their specific needs.

Are you tired of being a human doing and not a human BEING? Are you newly single? Happy couple but the passion has fizzled? Do you desire a deeper connection with yourself and others? Do you desire a more fulfilling sex life? Are you lacking joy or pleasure in life? Do you desire to Be/Feel more confident, in your body, in life & in bed? Do you struggle with sharing your emotions without it causing an argument or feeling unheard? If you answered YES to any of these questions then definitely consider working with me! Discussing sex can be difficult, I will create a brave space for you to begin exploring your own story.

Are you trapped in a relationship with a narcissistic partner? Are you facing major life transitions, like coping with chronic illness, grief, and loss? Do you have a child or teen who is constantly struggling at home and at school? You are taking the right step by getting help! It took a lot of courage to overcome the stigma and reach this point. You don't have to walk alone. By tackling the issues together we can overcome the barriers of honor and shame.

I believe we all have an innate wisdom and strength to grow from life's challenges and heal from painful experiences. The key lies in learning from our experiences, both past and present, and letting that acquired knowledge guide our futures. Therapy is your journey. It's my honor and privilege, as your therapist, to walk alongside you and help you process your story- creating room for insight, forgiveness, healing, and growth. I specialize in helping people build healthy relationships, overcome trauma, live well with chronic illnesses, and move through life transitions.

Are you overwhelmed with anxiety, have fear about significant life changes, or struggle in relationships or socially? I can assist you with gaining confidence in connecting with yourself and others, discovering more ease in decision making and with exploring life's possibilities. My counseling focuses on guiding you through the process of re-working your brain's negative feedback loops to ultimately reshape your life. The goal of my work is for you to feel relief and confidence in your resilience.

Please note: I am currently working online only. My varied approach draws on traditional training as well as several related prior professional experiences. I have over thirty years of experience in helping professions including psychotherapy, counseling, higher education, and human services. My doctorate involved multiple disciplines, including psychology, philosophy and the arts. I am also a former yoga teacher. All of this experience has deeply influenced my practice. In addition to various more conventional therapeutic approaches (DBT, EMDR, insight oriented, etc.), I often include body/mind practices.

My clients want to connect to others but are afraid. They've learned in childhood that those that are supposed to love you don't always treat you well. Yet, their deepest desires are to be seen, heard, and accepted. My clients often carry shame or guilt while also knowing deep down that they have immense strength and worth. They have the desire to move forward and live a fulfilled life, but feel stuck. Does any of this sound or feel familiar? Great news: it doesn't have to be this way! Reach out to me! Together, let’s explore a path forward—a healthy way forward—so that you can thrive. After all, you deserve to thrive.

My clients reach out because they need support during a time of transition, are struggling with anxiety or depression, or want to address past traumas. I work with teens, adults and kids to help them cope with stress and respond to suffering. My clients report relief at being able to express themselves freely and feel seen. They enjoy the opportunity to use creative arts in the therapy space, especially as the arts are uniquely positioned to respond to trauma. No art experience is necessary to benefit from expressive arts therapy. If you're open, and if you've ever used a crayon or listened to music, that's all you need.

Accepting new clients as of 05/09/2024. As a psychotherapist, I work with adults who want to live a better, more meaningful life that isn’t dominated by suffering and shame. In my work, I help individuals tap into their inner wisdom and vitality during sessions to live better lives outside of sessions. I work with individuals to address issues including mood and anxiety, relationship struggles, substance use, life transitions, gender and sexuality, complex trauma, and identity exploration. I believe that we all struggle to deal with various types of pain, but with help and compassion, it is possible to live a liberated life.
