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.
Hi! I am a licensed mental health therapist, currently practicing in 5 states (NJ, NC, FL, GA and TX).
I received my Master's Degree in Clinical Counseling and Psychology from LaSalle University, over 13 years ago.
My goal is to give you the tools needed to stop surviving, and start living an authentic life. In a safe and secure place, we will face the past, heal it and bring you to become the best version of yourself.
I specialize in OCD, as well as generalized anxiety and body-focused repetitive behaviors. I will help you understand that it is OCD, not you, that is creating these distressing thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I primarily utilize exposure and response prevention (ERP) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) to work with these diagnoses.
I attended the University of South Carolina, served in the United States Air Force.
I'm Lucy Maina, a Board Certified, Licensed Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) at Therapeutic Alliance Behavioral Health. I provide compassionate, evidence-based psychiatric care and psychotherapy for people of all ages — children, adolescents, and adults — in a safe, nonjudgmental space where your experience is always validated.
I specialize in treating anxiety, ADHD, depression, chronic fatigue, irritability, and emotional numbness, including the unique stress that comes with caregiving. I also have experience supporting neurodiverse individuals and those living with autism spectrum disorder or schizophrenia, offering sensory-considerate evaluations, communication accommodations, and relapse prevention planning tailored to your needs.
I take a warm, empathetic, and direct approach to working my clients. I believe that people can be incredibly resilient when they put their minds to it. Together, we can tap into your potential to strengthen your competence and tackle your goals. I will fight for you to rid yourself of unhelpful patterns and narrow the gap to the life you desire.
Taking the first step to find a therapist or meet a new therapist is tricky! I am so glad that you are here! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and have been working in Community Mental Health for the past 3 years. My main focus that I work with in my practice over the past few years have mainly been PTSD and Postpartum.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Durham
Finding the right OCD therapist in Durham starts with understanding the type of care that works best for obsessive-compulsive disorder. Some people with OCD explore structured therapeutic approaches such as exposure and response prevention (ERP) and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and a qualified healthcare professional can help determine what may be appropriate. Not every therapist is trained in these methods, so looking for a provider who specializes in OCD rather than one who lists it alongside dozens of other concerns can make a meaningful difference. If medication management is also part of your care plan, a psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse practitioner can help.
Durham's location in the Research Triangle means access to a strong network of mental health providers, many with ties to leading academic and medical institutions. Whether you're near Duke University, downtown Durham, or closer to Chapel Hill or Raleigh, you can find OCD specialists who offer both in-person and virtual appointments. Consider what matters most to you — a provider's experience with specific OCD subtypes, their therapeutic style, or appointment availability — and read their bio before booking.
Therapy in the Durham area can be costly without coverage, but using in-network insurance is one of the most direct ways to reduce what you pay per session. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated costs before your first appointment, and many people pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find an OCD specialist who fits both your clinical needs and your budget.
