Infidelity Therapists in Durham, NC

I am Zhana Balaam, MSW, LCSWA and the owner of Harkening. Harkening offers Christian and non-religious couples counseling as well as couples and individual sex therapy through affordable 60 minuet virtual sessions. I specialize in repairing broken/dysfunctional relationships that result from separation, cheating , distrust, and emotional disconnections. I also specialize in restoring sexual connections that make partners feel in sync with each other.

My special focus is close relationships. I help couples rediscover positive feelings, communicate better, work through conflict cooperatively, and repair the relationship after tension or hurt. I can help heal the wounds of infidelity or other emotional injuries. If you disagree on something, I stay neutral while helping you learn how to communicate in a productive manner, and how to make decisions together. I take sides only when someone is doing something incompatible with a healthy, satisfying partnership, and then I take the side of the relationship. I do so by speaking directly to behaviors like addiction, hostility, dishonesty, etc.

I have been working successfully with couples and individuals for 20+ years on a variety of topics including depression, relationship issues, and specializing in the areas of communication, extramarital affairs , online infidelity , couples conflict resolution, and divorce prevention. I am very client-centered and value teaming with my clients to work effectively at their comfort level, staying mindful of their wishes while using my clinical skills and modalities.

As we explore the depths of your story, we will begin the journey of excavating your authentic self. The process of healing will unearth how your greatest weaknesses can become your greatest strengths clearing the road for self-acceptance!

Looking for a therapist takes a lot of courage. Whatever it is that has motivated you to take this step, I'm glad you are here. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker specializing in anxiety, relationships and trauma. As a therapist I aim to create a safe and non-judgmental space for you to explore areas of pain and move towards integrative healing. With clients I spend time unpacking things like anger, shame, people-pleasing and perfectionism, processing how early childhood experiences and family dynamics impact current relationships, and exploring how to safely connect with, care for and communication emotions.

I counsel those suffering from anxiety, depression, trauma, and individuals experiencing major life transitions (ie: infidelity , divorce, career change, and midlife). I have experience working with people with serious mental illness in a variety of settings, including inpatient psychiatric hospitals, psychiatric residential treatment facilities, outpatient clinics, and corrections. I am currently focusing primarily on late adolescents and adults who are focused on discovering the path to their best version of self.

I'm not for everyone and every situation... I specialize in therapy and coaching for executives, couples, and companies who are highly motivated to get unstuck by doing a lot of work in a short period of time through in-person intensives or by secure video. I focus primarily on helping stabilize situations, create clarity about next steps, and crafting an action plan that my clients will be responsible for executing outside of the therapy or coaching relationship.

I believe therapy is about empowering individuals, couples, and families to resolve their unique issues by gaining a better understanding of themselves, others and their current situations. I also work with individuals to identify underlying issues that effect one's sense of self and unsatisfying relationships. Goals for many of my clients include identity development, increasing self-esteem, experiencing more meaningful relationships, gaining a stronger understanding of themselves, finding a sense of fulfillment and meaning in life, and resolving longstanding issues that keep them from achieving their desires and goals.

My approach is client-centered and collaborative. Together we will work to clarify your goals, and develop a plan that will help you achieve them as quickly as possible. To help you actualize those goals I utilize a variety of modalities, including mindfulness therapy, interpersonal therapy and psychoeducational approaches.
