Ruth Morgans
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW
Pittsboro, NC 27312
I am an integrative therapist, which means I adapt my approach to fit each client so that the work feels meaningful and relevant. Human relationships can be complex and, at times, lead to misunderstanding and conflict. Whether working with adolescents, adults, couples, or families, I believe that fairness and personal responsibility are central to healthy relationships. Difficulties often arise when we are not treated fairly or when we struggle to take responsibility for our own actions. I work from a resilience-based perspective, recognising that we are all made up of both strengths and vulnerabilities.

Pittsboro, NC 27312
Specialties: relationship intimacy issues and separation/divorce; religious trauma; men's work focused on anger and sexual compulsivity; spiritual questions; parenting, career, or creative pressures; and grief, loss, or life transitions.
Tired of coping? Feeling unseen in the relationships that matter most? Carrying old hurts or self-doubt? Longing for more balance, connection, meaning? When life feels smaller than it should, many turn to therapy for support. In my view, therapy is less about fixing what’s broken and more about getting honest, paying attention to what’s not working, and understanding the patterns, stories, and emotional truths that shape how you live and relate. I work with individuals and couples in a collaborative, depth-oriented approach, helping you live a life in deeper alignment with what matters most to you.

Lynda Heymen, Psy.D., P.A.
Psychologist, PsyD
Pittsboro, NC 27312
After working with patients for over 30 years, I have come to believe that setting clear therapeutic goals and establishing a working partnership of trust and commitment are keys to success. My intention is to balance acceptance, compassion, and validation with the need to make sustainable changes. Learning self-regulation and life skills are priorities. Developing effective action plans in a safe and non-judgmental environment also facilitate positive outcomes. I look for every opportunity to collaborate with other providers if my patients request this and are seeking a team approach.

I believe that therapy should not only be individualized to support the child and family in terms of the challenges they are currently facing, but I also believe therapy should be individualized in terms of the location I serve it. Providing therapy where the need is means that therapy can be delivered in multiple domains such as office, home and childcare settings. My role is to help you and support you in your journey as parents and caregivers through challenging times and transitions. I am a behaviorist that takes on a strength based and family systems approach. I believe that every child has skills and strengths to build on.

These issues often overlap with anxiety, depression, anger, trust issues, OCD tendencies, and feelings of isolation.

Women, despite being the foundation of our society (I am a little biased, of course), are often given too much stress to manage effectively. We have to be employees, mothers, wives, friends, daughters and sisters, just to name a few roles that we play. When there is friction or "conflict" in any one of these roles, life can get complicated. I am passionate about supporting women in our many phases of life. I also serve the Latino (Spanish-speaking) community in a culturally sensitive manner.

Welcome. Are you experiencing difficulties with relationships, children, spirituality, sex, or work? It often happens that many of us need a little help now and then. In my years of practice, I've seen how depression and anxiety can affect people's lives and can cause a great deal of guilt and frustration. Life is a journey, both joyous and painful. I believe that no one purposely tries to mess up their life, however, once caught up in our own situations we often cannot see the "forest for the trees", making it difficult to see things any differently during stressfull times.

Anger Management Therapists
How long does therapy take for anger management?
Treatment duration depends on the person’s specific challenges and circumstances. There are treatments for anger problems that are shorter and more goal-oriented, like Cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), which can last weeks to months. Others, like Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) may last between six months and a year, while a more intensive treatment, like psychodynamic therapy, is open-ended, and clients may see their therapist for a year or longer.

How do you know if you need therapy for anger management?
Everyone gets mad from time to time. But when angry outbursts become frequent and cause damage to relationships, whether at home or in the office, it may be a good time to look into therapy. A therapist can assess where a client’s anger may be coming from, suggest strategies for averting angry outbursts, and help a client create a plan to become a calmer version of themselves.

Is there medication for anger management?
Medications do exist that help people mitigate the feeling of anger, but these are reserved for people with anger-related psychiatric disorders, such as intermittent explosive disorder, oppositional defiant disorder, or in some cases borderline personality disorder. In these cases, antidepressant medications may be prescribed to help with the client’s symptoms. In most cases of anger management, however, talk therapy is the recommended treatment, along with lifestyle changes where relevant.

What’s the best way to encourage someone to seek help for anger issues?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual’s behavior affected either themselves or others should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
