Therapists for college students near Durham, NC

I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in North Carolina practicing for almost 20 years. Serving the mental health needs of all community members is very important to me and the reason why I have become a strong advocate for equitable care for everyone. I have worked in various mental health settings through the years, primarily serving individuals who have experienced trauma, adversity, grief, depression, and anxiety. My compassion for people, years of working in demanding environments, and close connections to the military have allowed me to easily make connections and support others in their journey. I'm a therapist with Octave and Evernorth Behavioral Care Group. Octave is a mental health practice providing high-quality care covered by multiple insurances. Evernorth Behavioral Care Group is a behavioral health provider group in-network with Cigna Healthcare and Evernorth. For my availability, please reach out to Octave’s team by emailing or calling.

Audra Vann is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in North Carolina who has been practicing since 2019. She has an B.A. Liberal Studies with a minor in French from California State University of San Bernardino (summa cum laude with highest honors, special recognition from the School of Communication for Excellence in Journalism), an M. A. Special Education with a concentration in Assistive Technology (summa cum laude with highest honors), and an M.S. Clinical Mental Health Counseling with a concentration in trauma and crisis (summa cum laude with highest honors). Some people experience more trauma than others. Success in therapy is feeling comfortable telling Audra what's working for you"?but also what isn't working. It's about what you can accomplish together to help you face hardship and emerge stronger and with greater purpose. That doesn't mean your worst day is behind you. But Audra would like the opportunity to help you see the path that makes sense to you, and to provide you with tools that will help you daily. There is no handbook to make things easier, but there is a cooperation between you and Audra that forges strength out of your individuality and empowers you to see through the chaos into the calm.

Sometimes things happen that affect the way we see the world, the way we treat people, and the way we think about ourselves. This can happen to anyone.

Are you the person that everyone else comes to for help, but you don’t quite know how to help yourself? Do you struggle with burnout at school or work, even though it's something you love?

If any of these ring true, know that you've already taken the first step to help yourself by seeking therapy.
