Therapists for college students near Duke University

Life is tough! I recognize and understand that sometimes life knocks us down or throws us a curve ball. Every now and then it can make it hard to get out of bed, ignoring our everyday responsibilities. Sometimes it can make us very anxious, worrying all the time if the decisions we’re making are the right ones. Making difficult transitions in life (i.e. what college to go to, what job to accept and am I in the right relationship) can be stressful. Therapy is a great opportunity to gain a new perspective, to increase self-esteem and to feel more confident in the decisions we are making, re-framing those automatic negative thoughts.

Are you struggling with issues related to trauma, grief, addiction, anxiety, or major life changes? There comes a time when we need some help from a professional to help cope with many of life’s challenges. I’m a Licenced Therapist in North Carolina, and I'd love to help you on your journey toward recovery, healing and self-discovery. It is a great honor to work in a private practice setting allowing me to offer my services to meet the needs of those that I serve. Having experienced what life has thrown at me along with my education I feel confident that recovery is possible. Recovery relates to both addiction and mental health. I provide individuals in North Carolina with Mental Health and Substance Abuse battles with a range of therapeutic services. Life can be overwhelming and sometimes even exhausting, but I’m here to guide you through any obstacles you may face. My goal is to help you understand yourself more deeply and better cope with change.

Is the eternal rinse, wash, repeat cycle of class, study, exam, & papers becoming overwhelming? All while trying to budget to feed yourself or have some fun once in a while?

Together, we'll look at the impacts of your past and the promises of the future, while remaining grounded in the strength of the present. When we feel safe to grow, we thrive! You deserve every bit of fulfillment life has to offer. The fact that you've read thus far says you are looking for a way up and are ready for a way out of whatever may be troubling you. But how? Contact me, and together we will discover that your greater self is just on the other side of your decision to face your adversity and embrace it!

If you feel like you’re feeling the pressure of what’s next, stop scrolling because trust…you’re in the right place. College is supposed to be an exciting experience but for a lot of students, it feels like: • “I’m behind.” • “Everyone else has it figured out.” • “I’m stressed all the time.” • “I don’t even know what I’m doing here.” If that’s you, I can assure that you’re not broken. You have reached your emotional capacity, feel overwhelmed, and you don’t have to carry that alone. At ThrivePath, we help students slow down, feel safer in their own bodies and minds, and learn how to move through life from alignment, not survival mode. This is therapy and support that feels: ✨ supportive ✨ honest ✨ culturally-aware ✨ and actually helpful No “fix yourself” energy here. At ThrivePath, our energy reads more like “let’s figure this out together.”

Our therapists and staff have been carefully and thoughtfully selected, and I consider it an honor to work alongside them to help heal the community. We have offices in Huntersville and Hickory, and also offer virtual sessions. Our goal is to continue to expand throughout the Carolinas and provide excellent, long-lasting, quality care. We are committed to building an inclusive, varied, mental health practice, welcoming to clients of all backgrounds

Life can be tough sometimes. We all, at some point, need that extra help to find a new perspective, sort through the chaos, and reach our true potential. I’m glad you’re considering taking this journey with me. I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in Wilmington, NC. I earned a bachelor’s degree in Fine Arts from ECU (Greenville, NC) and a master’s degree in Counseling from AGTS (Springfield, MO). I love helping people and use a variety of techniques catered to the individual. My approach is usually very straightforward but compassionate. I enjoy working with college students and am a passionate supporter/ally of the LGBTQ+ community. My experience includes a wide range, but I most enjoy working with people with anxiety, depression, ADHD, and problems adjusting to life changes (such as moving out, empty nest, loss of loved one, new career, etc). Finding the ‘right fit’ in a therapist is truly important, so please let me know if you’d like to set up an initial consultation or appointment, or simply contact me with any questions you may have. I try to be available to my clients when needed, and the best way to reach me is by texting my office number. I hope to meet you soon!

Hello, and welcome. My name is Kathleen McGah and I offer a comfortable, confidential space for teens, college-age students and young adults to talk about whatever is on their mind, at one's own pace, and without judgment. When people have a safe place to practice putting thoughts and feelings into words, they find they grow psychologically stronger over time - and more satisfied with various aspects of life. I have worked with many students who, initially, have been hesitant to talk with a professional. (Even if one has had a counseling experience in the past, it can still be difficult to start with a new therapist.) It makes sense if you have some hesitation about taking this step. Only you will know if you are ready. If you have been struggling and think it would be good to meet with a therapist, though, please reach out.

Welcome to Comfort Counseling Café Inc., I am Raheem Forsythe (LCSW, LCASA) owner and licensed therapist. My therapeutic approach involves recognizing internal strengths and resourcefulness within each individual. My goal is to provide a comfortable environment to empower you and to guide you to improve your resiliency. Comfort Counseling Café Inc. will utilize an evidence-based theoretical framework to address dual diagnosis behavioral management, anger management, social withdrawals, anxiety, and life adjustments. I work with Ages 15-80 and specialize in working with the LGBTQ+ community, IDD, mens issues, trauma and relational issues. During the first session, we will review paperwork, discuss goals, strengths and needs, and get to know each other. Currently, I am only offering virtual sessions. In the near future, I will also offer in-person sessions. I look forward to working with you.

I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor and have worked in counseling focusing on grief for 14 years. In working with grief and loss I have found that this opening provides opportunities to recreate yourself because parts of your world have changed. This experience has helped me grow as a counselor over these years and to understand that we are all here to learn more about ourselves as challenges come into our lives. I have worked with clients with a wide range of issues such as depression, anxiety, physical and sexual trauma, job changes, and relationship issues. I have also worked with those who have other challenges such as High Functioning Autism and issues concerning the LGBTQIA community. My approach to counseling comes from Person Centered, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness techniques. I also have experience Heart Math for Stress and Anxiety where we use tools to regulate breath and heart rate. This skill can help one to be centered in the chaos and help to focus on your healing process. I also used techniques found in Mindfulness that helps to focus on the present moments versus worries about past or future. I believe in the ability within each individual to overcome the challenges that they face during the course of their lives. There should be a genuine relationship between the therapist and the client. This purpose is the creation of a safe place for the client to grow in their awareness of themselves and their environment. I believe in these theories because they center on the individual and their innate power to overcome their personal challenges. All of these theories and techniques give the client the confidence to realize that they do have the power to create their own reality and make positive choices. It is vital that the client feels a connection with their therapist to provide the trust involved in making the necessary changes in themselves.
