Therapists for college students near Duke University

Hello! Searching for a counselor can be a very overwhelming task, but a good fit is so important. In my practice I use evidenced-based practices and strive to make them unique to each client. Some of us process by talking, walking, singing, creating or playing and therapy should be a place to process in a safe and familiar way. I have walked along side people who are hurting, lonely, hopeless, feeling stuck, facing big transitions and are looking for a safe place to land. If you think I would be a good fit or would like to learn more please check out my website at www.sarardore.com. Be kind to yourself, you will get through this.

I enjoy working with young adults, assisting them with the transition to college and/or adulthood. I have a lot of experience assisting with ADHD and executive function weaknesses. I enjoy helping adults manage stress, anxiety and depression. I am trained in EMDR (www.emdr.com) and use this approach to help bring healing from traumatic events. I have a gentle but direct approach in working with my clients and have an interactive/relational style.

I am a psychiatric mental health board-certified nurse practitioner. I attended The University of Alabama at Birmingham to complete my graduate degree. Before becoming a nurse practitioner, I worked as a registered nurse in the Neurosciences Intensive Care Unit at the University of Birmingham Hospital. Committing to patient-centered care, I leverage my training and educational background to achieve optimal outcomes for my patients. I develop a treatment plan for each patient using evidence-based research. I work with a multidisciplinary team, putting the mental health and well-being of each patient first. I am committed to fostering a therapeutic environment that promotes trust, open communication, and collaboration between patients and their healthcare team. In addition to a physical assessment, a comprehensive mental health evaluation is also performed during the initial visit. A treatment plan is then developed based on the patient's short- and long-term objectives. Every strategy is tailored to the individual patient and may involve lifestyle modifications, medication management, and addressing physical health concerns.

Often, everyday transitions and the stressors of life can be overwhelming. Sometimes what has worked before just isn't working anymore, which may cause you to feel you are failing in some areas of your life. As your therapist, you and I will seek to discover attainable goals, strive after a healthier and more grounded sense of self, and bring you peace toward a more fulfilling and hopeful future. I can help you manage whatever life throws your way through proven therapeutic techniques. I am a board-certified telemental health provider, and I administer individualized therapy to each of my clients. I utilize cognitive and dialectical behavioral therapeutic techniques as well as Brainspotting within my sessions. I work in the treatment of anxiety, depression, anger management, social skills, difficulties with transitions, Trauma, and ADHD. I believe all individuals deserve a place where they can speak openly and feel safe and free of judgment. My goal is to provide an intimate and calming environment for my clients where they can express themselves freely from the comfort of their own homes.

I work with adults and adolescents who are struggling with the challenges of daily life or who feel weighed down by issues of the past. My clients are often people who struggle with anxiety, depression, identity issues, grief, stress, or relationship issues. My ideal client is ready for change, or contemplating what the first steps of change look like. I practice exclusively through teletherapy sessions, and require clients to have reliable and consistent access to internet services. I offer a safe space for BIPOC, women, LGBTQIA+/trans/poly, neurodivergent, and other diverse communities. I am a very direct person, known for my honesty and “cut-to-the-chase” attitude. Over my years of practice, I have become known for my strength in work with teenagers and young adults, who have described me as “relatable” and “trusted.” I also enjoy helping adults work through life transitions and exploring issues of self identity and purpose. I believe strongly in the validation of clients’ feelings and experiences, to help remove stigma and shame. I believe that with support, clients can be empowered to make difficult decisions and take charge of their own growth.

College is often synonomous with stress. Adapting to independence. Figuring out your identity, beliefs, and preferences apart from family influence. Balancing classes and social life. You're living "Adulting 101." I work with lots of folks managing life transitions and stress. Sometimes this includes managing anxiety or working through past trauma, but it always includes working together to create a space for you to question and learn and grow into the person you desire. I want you to feel freedom to show up and take up space in your life. We'll collaborate to determine what that looks like for you.

Welcome! I'm glad you're here. I connect with clients ready to explore beneath the surface, not just symptom relief but genuine transformation. Whether navigating life transitions, feeling stuck in relationship patterns, or managing anxiety that limits you, my approach resonates with those curious about themselves and open to self-discovery. My clients desire authentic connection—with themselves, others, and a sense of purpose. They're looking beyond their symptoms toward meaning, authenticity, & relationships that honor their deepest values. If you're ready to engage in this journey together, I'd be honored to walk alongside you. Whether with individuals or couples, my approach is deeply relational, holistic, & experiential. What makes my practice unique is the integration of traditional therapeutic approaches with music therapy techniques. This blend allows us to engage both mind & body, using creative expression, mindfulness, and evidence-based practices to promote lasting change. I am committed to a welcoming space informed by queer and critical race theories, honoring how social contexts shape our experiences. Whether you're LGBTQ+, navigating cultural complexities, managing chronic illness, or simply seeking to be heard, you'll find support here. If you think we could be a good match, reach out for a free 15-minute consultation.

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.

Forming yourself into the adult you are going to be for the rest of your life can be stressful. Managing academics, extracurricular activities, relationships, and social life while planning for your future after college can be super overwhelming at times. I work collaboratively with you to help you learn to cope better with life's stressors, reduce symptoms of mental health, enjoy healthier relationships, and set and achieve your goals. Knowing your values, what's important to you, and following your passions, separate from what others want from you is important and presents challenges. We will help you figure out how best to live the life you most desire.

Hi, I'm Dani, and I'm so happy you're here!​ ​I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Associate, and I am the owner + founder of New Perspectives Mental Health Serices, PLLC. My hope is that if you are reading this, you are ready to take the next step in your mental health journey.​ Anxiety shows up differently for everyone. Maybe you just started college and feel lost and overwhelmed or have just moved to a new city with no support system in place. You could be trying to decide what career will be the best fit, or maybe you feel confused after realizing that you don't want to continue in the career you chose several years ago. Oftentimes in early adulthood, relationships can also bring anxiety whether they be with friends, family, or romantic partners.​ Do you want to learn how to be your most authentic self while also managing life's stressors? Then I want to help! Although I specialize in working with clients ages 18-30, everyone is welcome to reach out to connect. Our work will be collaborative. My approach is integrative, but I lean heavily towards cognitive behavioral therapy. This means that we will spend a great deal of our time focusing on how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. We will also work together to build new coping skills so that you are able to continue the work outside of the therapy "room." I strongly believe that every person's needs are different, and I am prepared to meet you where you are.​

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker dedicated to the belief that connection - to ourselves, each other, and the natural world - is the catalyst for true transformation. While I welcome individuals at any stage of life's journey, I am especially passionate about supporting young adults, women, and those navigating depression, anxiety, ADHD, and Autism. My approach is rooted in meeting you exactly where you are to foster healing, growth, and meaningful change.
