Therapists for college students near Duke University
Life can feel heavy sometimes, but you don’t have to carry it all alone. Hey, I'm Zuriah! I offer a culturally affirming, down-to-earth space for individuals and couples navigating anxiety, stress, relationship challenges, and life transitions. Therapy with me is a no-judgment zone where you can show up as you are, exhale, and feel truly seen. Whether you’re overwhelmed, emotionally drained, or tired of being the one who always has to hold it together, we’ll work together to help you feel more grounded, confident, and connected in your life and relationships.
Welcome! I'm Shannon. I'm glad you're here, and acknowledge that connecting with a therapist is no easy step. Thank you for having the courage to contemplate connecting. For me, who you are - right now, in this moment - matters, is important, and is enough. Your voice matters; your story is important and set-apart; I wholeheartedly believe you are doing the best you can with what you have; and, I know you want to be the best possible version of You. I also know that change is hard. Taking steps towards one's best self often means looking into the corners of our lives; saying things aloud we've spent years only saying to ourselves; and, being willing to adjust our story from one filled with "if onlys" and "should'ves", to one of acceptance for our enough-ness then, and now. Change - it's not easy and can be uncomfortable, so it's my job to deeply listen; to affirm your experience; and, to create a space filled with reverence, safety, humility, loving-kindness, gentle challenge, and gratitude for your willingness to explore together. I will listen, if you are ready to share.

Hi, I'm Lisa. If you feel overwhelmed, can't shut your brain off and worry about many things, I understand. I have a passion for supporting people with anxiety, depression, trauma, and navigating daily life stressors and challenges. I support people to navigate big transitions and create the life they want. I believe our thinking pattern, and the way we interpret the world, influence behaviors and keep us in our current state. By adjusting these patterns we can begin to change the outcome. I work with people to build confidence, self-compassion and self-esteem, to move from stuck to thriving and live with more joy and heal. I support those who feel worried about the future or overthink, struggling with relationships, grieving or in transition and wishing the pain/stress would get better. I can help! I provide support & practical feedback & tools you can use and incorporate a blend of conventional & alternative approaches(yoga, mindfulness) working with thoughts & behaviors. I understand that taking the first step is the hardest. Clients often describe me as easy to talk to, effective, kind, non-judging and supportive. I understand the challenges with stress, anxiety, lack of support, grief/sadness and overwhelm. I love the work I do. Reach out and I am happy to answer any questions you have.
My counseling background involves working with diverse clients experiencing a variety of issues. I work with teenagers, married couples, families and individuals. My counseling approach is eclectic in nature, drawing from Narrative Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy while also utilizing a personality typing system called the Enneagram.

You may be feeling discouraged and alone, needing hope! You have made the courageous first step toward healing and growth by looking for a counselor. It would be an honor to walk with you on your journey toward becoming the person you want to be!
I provide a warm and welcoming presence in sessions, allowing clients to relax and speak freely. I have a wholistic approach to counseling, recognizing the connections between mental, physical, relational, emotional, and spiritual health. Clients often come to me when they are experiencing times of transition in their lives (marriage, break-ups, pregnancy, motherhood, fatherhood, college, graduation, the death of a loved one, etc.). I enjoy helping clients process these changes and move towards clarity and calm. Change affects everyone in different ways, and it is important to recognize your own style of processing in order to heal. I work hard to create a space for your soul, the unique person you are to grow, to change, and most importantly to heal so that you can move into the next season with hope and the tools to handle whatever that season brings.

I know that reaching out for counseling for yourself can be a vulnerable process. If you’ve worked hard to figure it out on your own or are feeling like you’ve tried it all, it’s time to take a creative approach together. In our sessions, we will work together at your pace to understand the layers of your experience. I hope to help you find self-compassion, new perspectives, and healing
Hi welcome! My name is Angelica (like from the Rugrats if you are part of that era). As a therapist i encourage my clients to understand “Change is part of the process”. Which is process of therapy... My goal as a clinician is to always provide a safe place full of laughter, insight, and most of all healing and understanding.

If you are ready to take that next step I look forward to collaborating with you on your self healing journey. Taking care of yourself is the best thing you can do for YOURSELF. I like to encourage the individuals I work with, is to recognize the fact that they have made a conscious decision to allow themselves to grow and heal. My experience has been working with individuals who deal with anxiety, depression and adjusting to life transitions. My intention is to meet individuals exactly where they are at in life.

Are you are living in a constant state of worry? Are you a couple who is sinking into a cycle of conflict that you can’t escape, or a Christian who feels lost and seeking spiritual guidance? Then Anchored Hope Counseling is the place for you. My counseling philosophy can be summarized in the name "Anchored Hope," which was inspired by Hebrews 6:19; a verse that teaches that hope for healing can be steadfast and anchors us. With secure hope, we may not always see how the healing will come but we know that it will come through faith. To me, counseling is a way to direct people to hope so that they can experience joy and wholeness. Clients describe me as empathetic, encouraging, and challenging. Through tailored sessions, my goal is to help clients achieve a steadfast hope in their lives: an anchored confidence in themselves and their relationships, and an understanding that they can be “ok” in the face of storms. Counseling does not make life itself better because hard times are inevitable. Instead, I want counseling to equip you with the skills and strength to know you can handle challenges as they come; skills that provide an anchor of hope. If you are struggling in the storm of life and are in need of hope, please reach out to Anchored Hope Counseling today.
