Therapists in Durham, NC

Looking for a therapist can feel like a daunting task! My goal is to help you feel safe, seen, heard, and supported. I am a licensed clinical social worker with more than 24 years of experience providing therapy to women, through my work at Duke. I work with women who are coping with anxiety, mild to moderate depression, and/or chronic health issues. I have extensive experience working with issues related to complex trauma, difficult early childhood experiences, and low self-esteem. I provide a safe and supportive environment, in which to discuss difficult topics, as you are ready.

Loving someone with a substance problem can be agony. Frustration, arguing, isolation, guilt, blame, worry, hopelessness, fury–in a word, suffering–have eclipsed normal and everyday enjoyment. You may be desperate. You may be afraid that nothing will help. You just want it to stop. You don’t know if you should stay or if you should leave. You don’t know if you’re helping or making things worse. You can’t stand fighting and feeling mad all the time. Folks are telling you to give “tough love,” to “detach,” threaten, punish, give ultimatums, or “just” leave. You feel alone, misunderstood, and change seems like it will never come.

Hi there. I’m Katelyn, an addiction specialist and mental health counselor. I offer space for you to process the ways that substance use and misuse–whether by you or a loved one–might hinder you from living a flourishing life. People I meet with are typically seeking to break long term addictions, achieve a healthier lifestyle, and/or seeking help around a complex relationship with someone who is abusing substances. Others are in sobriety and may be seeking support or to process past trauma that led to their initial misuse. Some are seeking to use substances in moderation and others are seeking a sober lifestyle.

I have worked at all levels of care. I appreciate collaborating with other treatment providers to provide the best care possible.
