“Your hand opens and closes, opens and closes.
If it were always a fist or stretched open, you would be paralyzed.” Rumi
Finding your next step
Struggling with self-criticism, a life out-of-balance, or the past taking up too much of your present can feel lonely. Often coping strategies that help us survive can develop into problems themselves. Choosing to challenge old ways of living and struggling in the world is a bold move and figuring out the best way forward can feel overwhelming.
Our team is committed to help folks in and around Durham, NC, as they discover their inner strengths, self-worth and develop new, helpful strategies to experience and navigate life. As a practice, we work to foster self-compassion and self-worth, despite limiting systemic messages, or internalized patterns.
Evidence Based Approaches
Our team specializes in using EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Mindful Self-Compassion. Each of these modalities are supported by years, to decades of evidence. Each of our clinicians participates in ongoing education and consultation to insure that we are providing the best treatment.
Services and Rates
Individual therapy
Individual therapy can occur either online or in person. During your first couple of sessions you will work with your therapist to understand the problem you would like help with and then determine a course of action. Depending on what you want to work on, sessions will include a check in about how things have been going, and possibly some skills introduction to help provide new ways to deal with stressors. Or, you may focus more time and work on resolving past events or relationships.
Where we go depends on what you need and what you want to work on, and our job is to provide support and evidence based practices to help you find the growth you are working toward.
Finally, we love working with other therapists! Keep an eye out for our groups specifically for therapists.
