Therapists for college students near Duke University
I have 15 years of experience as an LCSW-C supporting, educating and holding emotional space for young adults and their families. I have post graduate training with a Certification in Child and Adolescent Therapy, a Certification in Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) and am a Certified Anxiety Treatment Professional. I am also trained as an ADHD Coach for college students and young adults. I am a Certified Mental Coach for high school and college athletes. I work collaboratively with young adults and their families dealing with issues of anxiety, depression, family conflicts, sexuality, and childhood traumas. I partner with students and schools to support clients with ADHD and educational issues. I believe in meeting the client where they are and looking for therapeutic strategies that fit their lifestyle and background. Mental health is very personal, based on client experiences. I see therapy as a tool to help client identify strengths and teach effective coping strategies and skills they can apply to their lives now and for future struggles. I consider myself fortunate to be able to work in a profession that I truly love and I consider a privilege to be invited into my clients' inner lives, and to travel this journey with them through healing, change, and self-empowerment. I see therapy as a process of identifying strengths and struggles and teaching clients to harness their own power.

All of us face times when life brings more than we can manage alone. Asking for help—even when asking is hard—is the first step toward a different experience.

My approach to therapy is trauma-informed, attachment-based, and experiential.

We may explore your thoughts, beliefs, and stories, your emotions, your body’s wisdom, and your creativity during our time together. We won’t just talk about what’s wrong—we’ll actively practice ways of making it better. Throughout it all, we’ll make sure our work together feels safe, supportive, and truly helpful to you. Whether you are facing the challenges of everyday life, navigating change and uncertainty, healing from deeper traumas and self-protective patterns, or seeking greater safety and security within relationships, I would be honored to support you.

Hello! I am an LCMHC who has been in this field for a little over 20 years. Do you want to improve the quality of your life? Do you want to make long-lasting changes that improve areas of your life such as work and relationships? I empower clients to overcome the daily challenges of dealing with such issues as depression (or other mood disorders), anxiety, PTSD/Trauma, and grief. . I do believe in a holistic approach that focuses on the mind-body-spirit connection. I utilize various techniques that include mindfulness, helping you identify and address irrational thoughts, motivational interviewing and more. I work with clients to identify treatment goals at their 1st appointment, if possible and I also like to assign therapeutic "homework" since this helps clients practice and eventually acquire the skills they need to feel better about themselves and their lives. No matter the issue, I'm here to help. Seeking therapy is a brave thing to do and I will provide a safe space to help you heal and grow. In our sessions, I will provide empathy, active listening and humor to help you overcome what is troubling you. I look forward to hearing from you soon!
We live in a culture that constantly pushes us to do more, work harder, and question whether we’re ever “enough.” For many students, that pressure leads to stress, anxiety, and burnout. But thriving isn’t about pushing harder—it’s about finding balance, clarity, and a stronger sense of who you are and what you need. This work often extends into your relationships, your identity, and your sense of direction. I offer a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can slow down, explore what’s weighing on you, and develop a more grounded, sustainable way forward.
Your story is uniquely your own—your therapy should be too. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to begin, you’re in the right place. I provide personalized trauma and PTSD recovery treatment that honors your lived experience and meets you exactly where you are, as well as a space for healing, growth, and emotional wellness whether you’re: -Carrying the weight of past trauma or PTSD that still impacts your day-to-day life -Feeling drained by burnout or chronic stress, like you’re running on empty -Struggling with anxiety or depression that makes even small tasks feel heavy -Navigating a major life transition such as a breakup or divorce, career change, relocation, or identity shift where you are feeling unsteady and need support -Grieving a loss or coping with traumatic grief that feels impossible to put into words -Wanting a supportive space to explore women’s issues, including boundaries, identity, self-worth, or empowerment -Looking for LGBTQIA+ affirming care where all parts of who you are are fully respected and welcomed Your healing deserves a space that feels safe, steady, and thoughtfully tailored to you. I will walk alongside you as a trusted guide, helping you make sense of what’s happened, reconnect with your strengths, and move forward at a pace that feels right for you. You don’t have to navigate any of this alone. Contact me to book a free consultation and let’s take the first step together.
Hi! I'm Heather, and I have been supporting young adults navigating life transitions for the past 11 years. I have worked with college students from many different colleges and universities and I know there can be a lot of challenges to face during this season of life! I find this work to be incredibly rewarding and would be honored to be a part of your journey toward empowerment and overcoming.
College can bring a lot: new freedom, pressure to succeed, and the stress of figuring out who you are and where you are headed. Many of the students I work with feel weighed down by anxiety, burnout, overthinking, imposter syndrome, or the pressure to be perfect. Others are coping with ADHD, past/current trauma, anxiety and social anxiety or just the everyday stress of classes, relationships, and big transitions. With 12 years of experience working in university counseling centers, I have a deep understanding of the unique challenges of college and graduate students' lives. In our work together, you will find a supportive space to talk honestly about what is on your mind, learn coping tools to manage stress, and feel more grounded and confident. My goal is to help you feel less alone and more able to handle the challenges of college life.
I believe healing begins with patience and understanding. Here at Graceful Landings Therapy, I strive to offer a safe and kind space for individuals, couples and families to explore areas of struggle or challenge and work towards greater balance and emotional comfort.

My goal is to offer individualized care which I believe can help healing across the life span - meeting clients where they are and helping them move forward with clarity, confidence and connection.
