Individual Therapy in Raleigh, NC

This really depends on your needs. Every client’s circumstances are different. Some clients come in looking for solution-based therapy taking only a few sessions, and others come in seeking a long-term supportive relationship. We will discuss the frequency of visits that best fits your needs. In general, we recommend beginning with weekly visits for the first month to build momentum and then evaluating progress and adjusting as we go.

Sessions are typically around 50 minutes.

 Our therapists draw from a wide range of approaches based on your goals and preferences. This may include:

• Trauma Therapy: This approach includes somatic and nervous system regulation techniques to process trauma through bodily awareness and restore balance to the nervous system, facilitating healing and resilience.

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Enables individuals to identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to emotional distress.

• EMDR Therapy: Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is an evidence-based approach that helps individuals process and integrate distressing memories with a strong focus on healing trauma.

• Mindfulness-based practices

• Play Therapy for Children: Play therapy for children uses creative and expressive techniques to help them communicate and process their emotions. When combined with parent-child psychotherapy, it addresses both individual and relational aspects of a child’s well-being, fostering healthier parent-child interactions and emotional development.

• Relational therapy

…and more

Our goal is to integrate techniques that feel aligned with your values, personality, and needs. We believe therapy should empower you.

Out of respect for client confidentiality, and a few other reasons that you can read about here, we have chosen not to accept insurance directly. However, we can provide a “super-bill” statement for you to submit to your insurance company in effort to receive out-of-network provider reimbursement (typically 60-80% of the session cost, depending on your plan). We are also partnered with a billing concierge service who can do all the work for you. Many of our clients utilize this benefit to access affordable therapy.

Not every therapeutic relationship is the right match — and that’s okay. Our approach is collaborative, flexible, and focused on what works best for you. If you’ve had a less-than-great experience in the past, we encourage you to give it another try. A different therapist or approach can make all the difference.

Absolutely. Life is complex, and it’s common for multiple concerns to be interconnected. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, navigating a relationship, or managing a major life transition, your therapist will help you prioritize and explore the themes that matter most to you.

Yes. What you share in therapy stays between you and your therapist, with a few legal exceptions related to safety. Our practice is fully HIPAA-compliant, meaning your personal health information is protected in accordance with federal privacy standards. At your first session, we’ll go over the confidentiality agreement in detail so you feel informed and safe.
