Hello! I’m Jullee Capshaw, MA, LCMHC (she/her/hers). I began working in the mental health field in 2018 at a psychiatric hospital in Atlanta, GA, where I developed a strong foundation in supporting individuals through complex challenges. I later worked as a Registered Behavior Technician at an autism behavioral clinic, providing ABA therapy to children and their families.

I earned my undergraduate degree from the University of North Georgia and my Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from UNC Charlotte. During graduate school, I completed an internship at Davidson College while continuing my work with children with autism.

I am now a fully licensed counselor and am grateful to have my own practice, where I strive to create a supportive, compassionate space for clients to grow and heal.

I am a bilingual (English/Spanish) Clinical Mental Health Therapist dedicated to providing compassionate, evidence-based, and trauma-informed care in a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment. I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Cleveland State University and my Master of Science in Social Administration from Case Western Reserve University. I also completed a Trauma Certification at Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) and have training in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), an evidence-based treatment for trauma. My additional professional training includes Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and parenting skills.

I have experience working with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families from diverse cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds. My areas of focus include trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship concerns, parenting challenges, stress management, and emotional regulation. As a bilingual therapist, I am committed to providing culturally responsive care to both English- and Spanish-speaking individuals.

My approach is collaborative, strengths-based, and tailored to each client's unique needs. I believe healing begins with a trusting therapeutic relationship where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered. I integrate trauma-informed care, TF-CBT, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and person-centered techniques to help clients build resilience, develop healthy coping skills, and create meaningful, lasting change.

My goal is to help you reconnect with your strengths, restore balance, and move toward a more fulfilling and authentic life.

I earned my Masters in Social Work, and am licensed as a Clinical Social Worker. I also earned a Masters in Science in Hospice and Palliative Studies. I started this degree in Michigan, but I did my internship after I moved here in the Bereavement Department of Four Seasons Hospice in Flat Rock NC. I have continued to learn through Continuing Education. I am a lifelong learner, so I continue to learn and to teach and utilize what I have gained with clients in session. I have trained extensively in Mindfulness, Self Compassion, Compassion Focused Therapy, Grief and Loss, and Death and Dying, and Non Violent Communication. I am also trained in and utilize Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing.

In my past position of working as clinical Therapist, a large part of my clientele was working with clients struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, Communication, and focusing on working with women primarily. I would like to continue to with that focus. In the past I also worked with children and families with Intensive In Home, and people who were homeless, primarily women, with ABCCM. I learned a lot through these experiences that benefit me with my current work.

I enjoy empowering clients with ADHD to understand their gifts and strengths, and to learn ways to feel supported with the struggles of living with ADHD, by learning new coping skills, psycho education, to gain new insights, and feel stronger within themselves.

I have focused much of my clinical enjoy working with women, especially older women, guiding them toward fierce compassion, along with re-creating themselves as they are grow in strength and feel their possibilities in a new way.

Therapist

Virtual • North Carolina


Hi, I’m Hannah! Born and raised in North Carolina and proud graduate of the University of North Carolina Wilmington, where I earned my Master’s in Social Work in 2022 and in VA undergraduate degree in Psychology in 2018.

For the past six years, I’ve worked in community mental health and have spent nearly two years in private practice. I’ve supported teens and adults through crisis, addiction, suicide prevention, trauma, and life transitions and I genuinely care about helping people feel steady, understood, and empowered again.

My approach blends evidence-based therapies like CBT, trauma-focused work, EMDR, Solution-Focused Therapy, and somatic interventions. That means we don’t just talk about what’s hard we build practical tools, process what’s been weighing on you, and create real movement forward.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply ready for change, you don’t have to navigate it alone. Therapy with me is collaborative, supportive, and grounded in compassion. I would truly be honored to walk alongside you in this season.

Find the right counselor for your family

Headway makes it easier to find family-focused support — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Family Therapist in Durham, NC

Searching for family therapists in Durham starts with finding someone who understands the relationships and patterns involved, not just one person’s experience. Family therapy can support concerns like parenting conflict, adolescent struggles, blended family dynamics, family estrangement, and communication breakdowns across generations. Look for a therapist whose profile lists family counselling and therapy, experience with therapy for family problems, or training that fits your needs. Family therapists often work with the relational system, which means they may help family members understand roles, patterns, and interactions together.

In a mid-sized city like Durham, you may find a range of Durham therapists with different specialties, office locations, and appointment formats. In-person care may be useful when several family members plan to attend from the same area, while virtual appointments can make scheduling easier when family members live in different places or have varied routines. Session attendance can also vary by need, including the full family, specific family members, or individual sessions connected to the larger family work. Before booking, read therapist bios to see how they describe their approach, session structure, availability, and whether they offer a free phone consultation.

Therapy in Durham can be a significant investment without insurance, and using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you compare Durham, NC therapists who are accepting new patients, review detailed bios, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs before your first session. You can search by insurance, specialty, appointment format, and availability, then book directly when you find a therapist who matches your family’s needs and accepts your plan.

If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
