Therapists in Raleigh, NC

My approach to counseling is that we are our one minds, body, soul, and spirit - all within us is connected - we are one. Becoming reconnected is the process of returning to your whole self, back home to who we are designed to be. Although we cannot erase the harm done to us, we can reclaim and reconnect back to our original sense of self. Counseling is a process of coming back home to you. I am a fan of allowing you to guide our processes of coming home to you. My approach to therapy is an embodied, interpersonal and narrative (story) focused.

I am a client-centered, holistic, integrative, systemic, and mindfulness-based Social Worker who utilizes self and social/community empowerment to inspire intersectional healing and alignment. I have extensive personal and professional experience related to depression and anxiety, ADHD, LGBTQ(QIAAP+) and multicultural matters, social activism and allyship, complex trauma and PTSD, grief and loss, and domestic and interpersonal violence.

My name is Thorne (they/them) and I am a white, queer, non-binary licensed clinical social worker associate (LCSWA) offering both individuals and couples/relationship therapy in Durham, NC. My work is grounded in fierce compassion and a belief that everyone is capable of healing and feeling like they belong. It is my experience that one of the key elements of transformative therapy is our relationship; that we are a good “fit” and that you feel safe to share your joy, anger, grief, and tears. My style is gentle, attentive, playful, and person-centered–drawing from relational, narrative, and attachment-based therapy approaches.

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.

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.

My practice is informed by a few basic beliefs: I believe that people are doing the best that they can with the resources they have available to them; I believe with adequate support and guidance, we all have the ability to develop new skills and reach our potential; and I believe that therapy is grounded in a trusting relationship, which is enhanced by my clinical knowledge. My approach combines multiple modalities to tailor treatment to your individual needs and is rooted in the understanding that my ability to adapt is key to you achieving success. I enjoy working with individuals and families, as well as adolescents and parents.
