Welcome,
Looking for someone that is warm, direct and knowledgeable. You found it!! I look forward to assisting you reconnect your mind, body and spirit using EMDR, Brainspotting or talk therapy. Have a great day.
Hi, I’m Christina. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps teens, families, and adults navigate anxiety, trauma, and life’s high-stress seasons. My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable, understood, and supported — a place where you don’t have to hold it all together or figure things out alone.
In addition to private practice, I work in community crisis response, supporting individuals and families during difficult or overwhelming situations. This experience helps me stay calm, practical, and focused on what truly helps when life feels heavy.
I believe therapy works best when clients feel safe, heard, and genuinely supported. I strive to create a warm, nonjudgmental, and collaborative environment where clients can show up as their authentic selves. My approach is compassionate, direct when needed, and focused on helping clients build practical tools for everyday life while also exploring deeper emotional patterns and experiences.
I enjoy working with individuals navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationship concerns, self-esteem challenges, stress, identity exploration, and emotional overwhelm. I am passionate about supporting LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC clients and creating an affirming therapeutic space where clients feel respected and understood.
I understand that starting therapy can feel vulnerable, and my goal is to meet clients where they are while helping them move toward healing, clarity, and meaningful growth.
Hello and nice to "meet" you! I have been a licensed counselor since 2004 (SC #4579 and NC #22747). I earned a Master’s Degree in Rehabilitation Psychology and Counseling from UNC Chapel Hill in 1999. Early in my career, I focused my work with children, adolescents, and families, as well as adults. Since then, I have narrowed my focus to victims of trauma, First Responders, and those Depressive Disorders and Anxiety Disorders.

Hi, I’m Megan. I’m really glad you’re here. I’m a licensed therapist who cares deeply about helping people feel more grounded, understood, and connected to themselves again. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, grieving, or just trying to make sense of things, you don’t have to navigate it alone. I show up with compassion, curiosity, and a pace that meets you where you are.
I work with people navigating anxiety, trauma, relationship stress, life transitions, and the quiet heaviness that builds over time. My goal is to create a space where you can be fully yourself, even when life feels messy, uncertain, or heavier than you expected.
I work with motivated individuals seeking relief from chronic pain as well as reduced stress and anxiety in their personal lives or at work. Chronic pain conditions that I treat include but are not limited to neck and back pain, headaches, pelvic pain, IBS, tinnitus, and fibromyalgia.
My approach is very goal and solution-oriented.
I have over 10 years of experience as a social worker assisting those with chronic mental health struggles. I specialize in anxiety, OCD & phobias, mood disorders and general work with adults experiencing challenging life stressors, change or loss. No matter what life stage you are in, therapy can help you cope and learn to thrive.
Hello, and congratulations on taking the very difficult first step of seeking help!
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), I believe that prioritizing mental health is a key component to living a happier, healthier life. While I have experience working with children, adolescents, teens, and adults, I primarily see clients 18+ who are struggling with various aspects of life, such as anxiety, depression, adjusting to changes, and grief, to name a few.

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.
