Therapists for college students near Durham, NC

It can be a challenge to find your center or balance when everything around you seems to be out of your control. Things are happening so fast and it can be scary. Searching for your true self in a world that adds filters to glamorize everyday life is a struggle. It can be difficult to find the balance between assertiveness, passiveness, honesty and consideration. Therapy is a space that is yours to discover answers to the questions that keep you up at night or cause you to overthink an "awkward" encounter with someone. Therapy is a safe and confidential space to explore who you are; to name, understand and better manage emotions. Take the opportunity to seek growth in your personal, professional, academic and/or romantic life. We can identify reasonable boundaries and coping strategies that support your mental and emotional well-being. You can let go of feeling misunderstood, underestimated, unseen or lost. Because you are worthy. So, let's find your light together. It is hard to trust a stranger to take this journey with you; therapists are special kind of people. Our job is to help others and provide a space that is nurturing to your needs. You deserve to take advantage of that. I invite you to call or send an email anytime. We can schedule a free consultation to help determine if I am the right fit for you.

Welcome. And when I say “welcome,” I welcome all of you— Mind, Body, Heart, Spirit, Soul. You get to shed the chameleon’s skin you’ve been wearing, let go of the weight of keeping it all together, and you certainly have permission to not walk on eggshells any more. Trying to please others for so long can make us want to scream. Especially if you have been working so hard to heal from trauma, you may feel especially exhausted. Together, in a safe and authentic relationship, we will uncover important pieces of the puzzle for your healing & thriving. Let's meet and embrace your authentic self, the life that is uniquely yours to live. Therapy with me is body-centered and nervous system-oriented. The body and nervous system (NS) hold our memories, experiences, and pathways to healing and our personal truths. Inviting in the body and NS can come in many forms; we may explore CranioSacral Therapy, somatic techniques, therapeutic yoga, Yoga Nidra, breathwork, etc. It is your choice! The feedback I most often receive is, “Your presence is so calming," and, "I immediately feel safe with you." I vow to be a safe person, to maintain a safe space, and to connect with you authentically. I would love to walk with you in your journey of healing, transformation, and self-empowerment. I hope you'll reach out.

I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship challenges and PTSD. I use trauma-informed therapy approaches; such as, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) which helps the brain effectively digest past and recent traumatic memories, and Internal Family Systems which compassionately guides you toward building harmony in your inner world.

Welcome, I am so glad you are here. Experiencing a loss or trauma can feel alienating and leave you lacking connection. Maybe you have experienced a loss/trauma while also navigating pregnancy, postpartum or infertility. Maybe you are/were military but don't feel supported by the systems in place to "help". You might want to feel different but struggle to navigate the how. Or the opposite you understand the how, you have done lots of therapy and continue to feel like you are not making the progress you wish. Whether you've never been to therapy before or you have tried it before but feel stuck; you are in the right place. Therapy is not "one size fits all". This idea is incredibly important to me in helping you create change in your life because not a single client’s stories are ever the same even if they are similar, your unique experience needs a unique treatment approach. One of the approaches I use which is different from most is Brainspotting. Whether it's traditional therapy, brainspotting or clinical supervision you are in need of; I would love to connect with you to discuss your needs and if I am the right fit for you!

They both listen without judging and offer a safe place where you can come and share whatever is needed. One therapist offers a Christian perspective if desired.

At Myers-Galloway Counseling, we specialize in supporting women who are used to holding everything together — for their families, their friends, and everyone around them — while quietly putting themselves last. If you’re a college student, you may already know this feeling. The pressure to perform, to be everything to everyone, and to keep it moving no matter what. We see you, and we’re here to help. Our team of licensed, trauma-informed therapists has supported 500+ women through 6,500+ sessions over the past decade. We specialize in burnout, emotional neglect, over-responsibility, and the patterns that quietly wear you down over time. Our approach is practical and compassionate — using EMDR and solution-focused techniques to help you move forward, not just process. We meet clients where they are and create a space where healing feels possible, not overwhelming. Myers-Galloway Counseling is based in Charlotte, NC and currently accepting new clients.

Throughout my life, I have found people to be fascinating as each person has unique stories, values, and beliefs that guide their life. This curiosity of people combined with the belief that each person has intrinsic value and worth led me to the field of counseling. Through using collaborative, trauma-informed, and strengths-based approaches, I hope to facilitate a healing space where clients can learn how to care for themselves holistically, pursue personal goals, and address mental health concerns, all while feeling accepted for who they are as a person. I completed my clinical internship experience at Appalachian State University’s counseling center during 2023 - 2024 academic year. During this time I developed skills for working with clients facing life transitions, generalized anxiety, social anxiety, depression, spiritual/ religious concerns, emotional dysregulation, interpersonal relationship concerns, low self-confidence, grief and academic distress. My main theoretical approach is person-centered therapy while also using creative, culturally-aware and trauma-informed methods. I have a passion for working with clients who are working through anxiety, depression, academic stress, neurodivergence and life-transitions. Please reach out to set up an appointment today!

Figuring out identity, establishing meaningful relationships, and navigating through changing independent roles while on the quest for financial stability, can be an overwhelming mix of demands. Add spiritual and/or cultural expectations to the blend and you might just feel like quitting before you even start! It’s a wonder why anxiety, depression and other forms of addictive “coping” exist. Need some help addressing these symptoms while managing life’s demands? Say less.

My approach to therapy centers around the belief that every individual has inherent dignity, and is worthy to be seen, heard, and cared for. Anyone is welcome into my office. Every life experience is unique, and often these experiences can carry specific hurts, pains and sorrows. When life feels overwhelmingly challenging and burdensome, counseling can be a wonderful mechanism to assist in times of need. I believe that peace and joy are possible, and that no story is hopeless, because no story is done being written. As a client, I want you to feel safe and most importantly, listened to. As you get the chance to share your story with me, my goal is to build trust with you and help establish what you'd like to work on. According to your specific wants and needs, we will collaborate together and use a variety of therapeutic approaches to get you to a better place. Whatever season you're in, you don't have to walk it alone. Please don't hesitate to reach out to find what you need during this time.
