Life can be full of great experiences and feelings, but it can also be full of difficult emotions, hard relationships, and traumatic experiences, which can often negatively impact your self-esteem and your experience in life. My goal is to help people work through these experiences so they can find enjoyment in their life, grow in their relationships, and increase their self-esteem. The hard things in life don't have to hold you back.

By using Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT, Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), and Relational Life Therapy techniques I can help you develop more positive beliefs about yourself leading to healing and better relationships.
Overwhelm has become a way of life lending to feelings of anxiety, depression and disconnect. This leads to disruptions relationally with others and ourselves. Understanding how we think, feel, and behave can begin better self worth, mood and relationships.

My style is open, collaborative, and person-centered, informed by psychodynamic, relational-cultural, strengths-based, and attachment-based therapy approaches.
My name is Tyania (ty-an-nuh) and I am a Black, queer, cisgender licensed therapist (LCMHCA) offering individual therapy in Durham, NC. My approach is rooted in the idea that profound healing occurs in the context of relationships. Our lives are dictated by the relationships that we do or don’t have, and a large part of how we discover ourselves is through reflection and feedback - being seen and understood by another. Being your authentic self can be challenging for many reasons, which is why I strive to make our time together a place of refuge where you can be your true self (or have the space to figure out who your true self is).

Do you find yourself entangled in self-blame or the weight of unresolved trauma? Do you feel yourself longing for more progress in therapy? Do you expect the worst even in moments of calm or stability? My approach focuses on trust-building and helping you safely enter a place of genuinely processing your emotions instead of avoiding, ruminating, or judging yourself about your emotions.

Relational Therapists

How does relational therapy work?

Relational therapy was developed by psychologist Jean Miller, whose ideas stressed that having strong connections with others encourages better health and well-being when compared with a lonely existence. Conversely, poor interpersonal relationships do not foster growth and learning. Relational therapy also encourages trust in others and patience with others, along with better communication and less conflict.

Is relational therapy evidence-based?

Relational therapy is not well-studied, and it may not be as effective in treating certain mental health conditions when compared with evidence-based treatments like cognitive behavioral or acceptance and commitment therapy. However, relational therapy uses techniques found in cognitive behavioral therapy as well as psychodynamic therapy, which are both well-studied with empirical research.

How long are people typically in relational therapy?

Clients may see improvement after a few weeks or months of therapy. Like cognitive behavioral therapy, relational therapy can reduce symptoms within 10 to 20 weeks, at 45 to 50 minutes once a week. But like any type of therapy, improvement depends on the person and the severity of the problem.

Does relational therapy work?

While no therapy type will work for everyone, some evidence suggests that this therapy can be effective. Relational therapy can help a person manage problematic relationships as well as the mental health conditions that accompany difficult relationships like depression or anxiety. This therapy type may offer benefits that are hard to measure but can be just as valuable—including feelings of higher self-worth or healthier connections with others.
