Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 17 mi away • Raleigh, NC


I received My Bachelor's degree in Environmental Health Science because I care so much about the Earth and the creatures that inhabit it. But I soon realized that if I was not interacting with people (or animals) that the work I was doing seemed irrelevant.

Then caring for my terminally ill stepmother led me first towards nursing, then to Social Work.

Since getting my MSW, I have worked In a wide variety of settings ranging from domestic violence shelters to a medical hospital to a homeless day center. I believe that despite our varied backgrounds and beliefs, we are all good at the core and want to be physically and emotionally healthy in order to make the most of our lives. Some of us have learned bad habits by being told, or telling ourselves, that certain things are not possible or us and that is rarely the case.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Durham

Finding the right therapist in Durham starts with identifying what you want to work on. Whether you're looking for support with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, trauma, or another concern, choosing a licensed provider who specializes in that area can make a meaningful difference. Durham is home to a large and diverse network of mental health professionals, including licensed clinical mental health counselors (LCMHCs), licensed clinical social workers (LCSWs), psychologists, and psychiatrists.

Beyond specialty, consider practical factors like whether you prefer in-person sessions or virtual visits, and whether a provider's availability fits your schedule. Reading a provider's bio can give you a sense of their approach and help you decide if they feel like a good match. Many providers offer a free phone consultation before your first session, so you can ask questions and gauge fit with no commitment.

Therapy in Durham can be expensive without insurance. One of the most reliable ways to lower your out-of-pocket costs is to see a provider who is in-network with your plan. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before you book, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a therapist who fits both your clinical needs and your budget.
