Depression
Bobby Newell
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, SEP
I specialize in helping individuals navigate depression, whether it shows up as low energy, loss of motivation, feeling disconnected, or a persistent sense of heaviness. Depression isn’t just about feeling sad—it can impact how you think, move, and show up in your life. Together, we focus on small, meaningful shifts that help you reconnect with yourself, rebuild momentum, and feel more engaged in your day-to-day life. Using a combination of practical tools and mind-body approaches, I support you in moving out of survival mode and toward a place that feels more steady, hopeful, and manageable.

Depression
Kenny Levine
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LCSW
Struggling with depression? I offer a comprehensive approach rooted in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) to help you manage symptoms and improve overall well-being. By integrating cognitive-behavioral techniques with mindfulness practices, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness skills, I provide practical tools to navigate the complex emotions and challenges of depression.
In our structured sessions, you will learn to identify and challenge negative thought patterns, regulate emotions, and cultivate greater self-awareness and acceptance. Manageable homework assignments reinforce these skills, helping you make meaningful progress between sessions.
My approach also emphasizes building meaningful connections and setting healthy boundaries in relationships, contributing to a greater sense of support and fulfillment. Let's work together to help you overcome depression and lead a more fulfilling life.

Depression
Nour Counseling
Counselor/Therapist
Depression is often described as sadness, but for many people, it feels more like disconnection—low energy, numbness, irritability, lack of motivation, or just moving through the day on autopilot. Things that used to feel manageable can start to feel heavy or pointless. And in a culture that pushes productivity and “pushing through,” depression is often misunderstood or minimized, especially when you’re still showing up on the outside. For many, there are also deeper layers—burnout, grief, chronic stress, identity struggles, or the impact of living in systems that feel depleting or invalidating.
At Nour Counseling, we don’t reduce depression to a checklist of symptoms. We work with you to understand how it’s showing up in your life and what’s contributing to it—emotionally, relationally, and contextually. From there, we take an active approach to building momentum in ways that are realistic and sustainable. This might include small, structured shifts in daily routines, reconnecting with parts of your life that feel meaningful, addressing thought patterns, and creating support systems that actually work for you. We also make space for the cultural and systemic factors shaping your experience, so you’re not carrying that weight alone. This is about helping you feel more connected, more supported, and gradually more like yourself again.

Durham is home to Duke University and Duke University Medical Center, one of the leading psychiatric research and treatment centers in the country — an institution that deeply shapes the quality and sophistication of the local therapy community. The Research Triangle's concentration of academics, researchers, and healthcare professionals creates demand for therapists with intellectual depth and experience with high-achievement anxiety, identity work, and the stresses of competitive knowledge-economy careers. Durham also has a vibrant Black community with deep historical roots, and therapists offering culturally affirming care, racial identity work, and intergenerational trauma support are well represented. The city's progressive culture sustains strong demand for LGBTQ+-affirming therapists, and many practitioners integrate social-justice-informed approaches across their work.
