I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in private practice in Durham, NC. I work with adult individuals, couples, and families to help them achieve the most fulfilled and authentic versions of themselves.
Reaching out for help can be difficult, but seeking the support of a counselor can lead to measurable positive change, meaning, and balance in your life. My style is warm, non-judgmental, and affirming. I am honest and straightforward and strive to create meaningful connection with all my clients. I leave space for you to safely explore issues of concern as well as aspirations. I have experience working with individuals from all walks of life and work collaboratively with clients to help them achieve their goals. Whether you are seeking support with hard to change behaviors, life transitions, or emotional connection, deciding to enlist professional help can be a brave first step towards healing. My areas of experience include relationships, dating, premarital and marriage counseling, as well as issues surrounding communication, sex, fertility, and parenting. I have a background working with survivors of domestic violence, helping individuals overcome addictions, men's issues, career and life transitions, and working with individuals experiencing depression or anxiety. Where appropriate, I incorporate humor to provide levity regarding the stresses of daily life. I have been dedicated to the mental health field for the past 14+ years and use my experiences to inform my work. I am LGBTQ+ affirming and incorporate an awareness of oppression and social justice into my work. Click here to learn more about Craig.

I am a queer, White, cisgender, licensed clinical social worker who works with adults using a feminist, anti-oppression lens rooted in critical race theory. I have been told that I have a calm, non-judgemental approach which allows for deep self-exploration, and space for experimentation in skill building. I am passionate about helping clients gain a greater understanding of their life traumas in the context of our larger world and systems. I aim to create a space where clients will feel supported and accepted because I believe that we must feel a certain level of safety in order to have the courage to change and grow. Most of my clinical experience is based in working with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Depressive disorders, Anxiety disorders, Bipolar disorder, and Borderline Personality Disorder. Outside of the therapy room, I love connecting with nature through hiking and gardening, celebrating music through dance, participating in local progressive organizing groups, and cuddling with my dog, George.
I received my social work training at Smith College School of Social Work, and completed my clinical internships and first years of practice at Duke University School of Medicine Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences outpatient clinic. I have specific training in psychodynamic theories, traditional Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT).

I have been in private practice in Durham for 7 years and am honored to be at Radical Healing! My training and experience in couple therapy includes working with couples in relationship distress as well as with those who are looking for relationship enhancement, providing sex therapy including the use of the sensate focus method, conducting premarital counseling, and using evidenced-based treatment for couples facing individual stressors, such as the mental or physical illness of one partner (e.g. obsessive compulsive disorder, anorexia nervosa, breast cancer). I have significant training in several styles of individual therapy including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) as well as insight-oriented therapies and psychodynamic perspectives. My more recent training in somatic approaches and mindful self-compassion complement my certification in yoga and mindfulness instruction to create a holistic approach to mental health. I have also recently been trained in leading others in writing for health, through Duke Integrative Medicine, and enjoy incorporating creative journaling into therapeutic work. My work addresses a wide variety of issues, including anxiety and depression, life transitions, trauma, identity and self-esteem issues, relational issues, as well more specialized issues such as anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa. My therapeutic style is warm and engaged, and I take a client-centered and anti-oppression approach to my work. I have significant experience working with folks of all sexual orientations and gender expressions, those practicing non-monogamy, people of color, folks from many different backgrounds, and folks in bodies of different sizes, shapes, and abilities. I believe a compassionate respectful orientation toward understanding, hearing, and believing each person’s unique reality as a human is the most important foundation for any healing to happen. In addition to psychotherapy for individuals and couples, I also hold workshops and classes on yoga, writing, and self-compassion practices. I also offer private yoga and mindfulness instruction, and private sessions guiding expressive writing techniques. Click here to learn more about Jasmine.

I am a black queer femme therapist who works primarily with LGBTQ+ or QTPOC individuals, couples, and families to help them build and better their lives and relationships. I have have always had a passion for helping others. In addition, I have been a facilitator and counselor for the majority of my life, starting in college when I began developing diverse and inclusive sex education programs in New Jersey and Maryland working with LGBTQ+ counseling organizations. Since becoming a therapist, I have realized that helping people on an individual level is only a part of my passion. I am focused on creating better systems whether it be with clients, couples, families or companies; my idea of a healthy self includes having a personal and professional balance. I enjoy meditation, and use body scanning and coaching heavily in practice. As one of very few queer, black, femme, therapists, I also offer virtual counseling so no matter where you are, you can access a gender and sexually competent therapist who is focused on your happiness and authentic self. Aside from therapy and speaking; I love cooking and being a dog mom. Feel free to follow me @adriennemichelletherapy. Click here to learn more about Adrienne.

I am a QTPOC, first generation born, Korean-American counselor specializing in the treatment of anxiety, low self esteem and relationship difficulties. I also enjoy working with issues related to identity, acculturation, immigration and life adjustments. More generally, I provide psychotherapy to those who are dissatisfied with themselves, their relationships or their career and who aspire to lead a more meaningful and fulfilling life. Psychotherapy leads to better self-knowledge, to making healthier life choices and to greater self acceptance and confidence, while reducing uncomfortable symptoms that interfere in daily living and inhibit a values driven life. I believe successful treatments are based on a warm, supportive and non-judgmental environment, where you can comfortably explore all presenting issues with me. I believe in the inherent worth and dignity of each client and design my treatments to allow each individual to live a more full and exceptional life. Click here to learn more about David.

El proceso para sanar de experiencias dolorosas puede ser difícil; requiere tiempo y un enfoque compasivo, cálido y alentador. Sería mi privilegio caminar a su lado en su camino hacia la sanación. Soy una trabajadora social en el ámbito clínico con un enfoque en trabajar con adultos y adolescentes (de 15 años y mayor) que han pasado por un trauma, tanto como en el nivel personal como en el nivel sistémico. Me gusta trabajar con la comunidad LGBTQ +, clientes que hablan español, personas que están pasando por dificultades con las transiciones de la vida y/o costumbres americanos, asuntos de la mujer, depresión, y ansiedad. Estoy capacitada en distintas clases de terapias como terapia cognitiva y de comportamiento, terapia dialéctica-conductual y terapia de procesamiento cognitivo. Utilizó un método ecléctico en terapia porque algunas modalidades funcionan mejor para algunas personas que para otras. En terapia, incorporó técnicas de atención plena y movimientos para ayudar a clientes desarrollar la capacidad para adaptarse y el conocimiento de la conexión de la mente y el cuerpo. Pienso que con el apoyo y la orientación adecuados, las personas pueden aprender a sanarse a sí mismxs. ¡ Están bienvenidxs a contactarme si sienten que seríamos un buen equipo!
Healing from painful experiences is challenging; it takes time and it requires a warm, compassionate, and encouraging approach. It would be my privilege to walk alongside you on your path to healing. I am a Latina, bilingual (Spanish) licensed clinical social worker with a focus on working with adults and teenagers (15 years old+) who have been through trauma, both on an individual and a systemic level. I enjoy working with the LGBTQ + community, Spanish-speaking clients, and folx that are experiencing challenges with acculturation, depression, women’s issues, anxiety, and life transitions. In my years as a therapist I have been trained in Cognitive Processing Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I use an eclectic approach in therapy as some modalities work better for some individuals than others. In therapy, I incorporate mindfulness techniques and movements to assist clients in developing resilience and awareness of the mind and body connection. I believe that with the proper support and guidance people can learn to heal themselves. I welcome you to contact me if you believe we would be a good match! I look forward to meeting you.

Hello! I'm Rebecca Kuhns, MD, a psychiatrist. I mostly practice psychotherapy, but also enjoy sharing clients with other therapists by providing adjunctive consultation and management of psychotropic medication. I am excited to be part of the Radical Healing community. My style is warm, but often quite direct. I work to learn each client deeply so that I can help you better understand your own points of pain and help support you as you navigate the way forward. I am passionate about racial equity, I have specialized training in working with individuals with eating disorders and have worked extensively with members of the LGBTQ+ community. I believe that therapy is a powerful tool, and that the support of carefully selected pharmaceutical agents can often be a beneficial component of treatment as well. I am currently accepting clients for medication management services only. Click here to learn more about Rebecca.

RORI TIJERINA
(they/them/theirs)

Hi, I’m Rori (they/them pronouns, please). I’m a 3rd generation Mexican/American, Texas born ‘n’ raised. As a person less inclined toward societal/conventional beauty standards, becoming a hairstylist wasn’t always on my radar. I had the misconception that entering the cosmetology world had to mean embracing those things blindly.
The ways we adorn and groom ourselves has been central to who we are and how we engage with one another in the entirety of human history. When I realized that helping someone curate their look could have such a more profound effect — I dove right in.
Being in the queer and trans community, it’s become so obvious to me how much a hair cut/style can mean changing how someone perceives their self, how others perceive them, and help folks feel more embodied. I recognize the vulnerability in sitting in a salon chair under a cape while someone sculpts your new look, and I want to make that as comfortable and enjoyable as possible for people.
I’m also a firm believer that these services and “luxuries” provide an upward movement through a capitalist society and shouldn’t be reserved only for those of privilege. I provide sliding scale services with a heavy reliance on mutual aid. If you’d like to donate to help me continue, please do!
I received my cosmetology certification via Durham Beauty Academy while apprenticing under Rachel Radford at Ceremony Salon in Carrboro, NC. I have also received advanced training for all hair textures in color, hair painting and balayage techniques from Whittemore House, Leftbrain Group, Bayou St. Blonde, Wella and Framesi color formulation, as well as razor and shear haircutting from Dre Donahue, Jayne Edo, Kien Hoang, R+Co and Oribe, and continue to grow my skill set with ongoing advanced education.

NON-DISCRIMINATION & INCLUSION STATEMENT
Systems of power, privilege, and oppression have traditionally created barriers for persons and groups with particular identities, ages, abilities, and histories. We pledge to do all we can to replace such barriers with ever-widening circles of solidarity and mutual respect. We strive to be a center for health and healing that truly welcomes all persons and commits to structuring the center in ways that empower and enhance everyone’s participation.
We intentionally welcome all. We foster a climate of purposeful inclusion, an environment where all can feel safe, valued, cared for, and given an opportunity to form meaningful connections with each other. We value the diversity of differences which includes (but is not limited to) gender identity and its expression, age, race, ethnicity, and national origin, range of abilities, sexual orientation, financial means, family structure, educational and class status and political perspective.
