Nour Counseling
Counselor/Therapist
Finding a therapist shouldn’t feel overwhelming—or like a guessing game. At Nour Counseling, we take the time to actually listen before we match you, so you’re not left scrolling through profiles trying to figure it out on your own. We consider what you’re looking for, what you’ve experienced in past therapy (what worked and what didn’t), and the kind of connection you want to feel in the room. We’re also clear about our values—our clinicians are culturally responsive and affirming, and we hold space for clients navigating complex identities and sociopolitical realities without minimizing or dismissing them. Our goal is simple: to help you get connected to a therapist who not only has the right expertise, but who genuinely feels like a good fit.

Paulina Mendez
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LCSWA, LCASA
Working with me means entering a space where you don’t have to hold everything together. I bring warmth, clarity, and steady guidance to our work, helping you slow down, listen to what your body has been carrying, and make sense of your experience. Together, we create room for both practical change and deeper alignment, so growth feels grounded, intentional, and sustainable.

Bobby Newell
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, SEP
A little about me
I’m a therapist who gets how overwhelming this stage of life can feel. You’re juggling pressure, expectations, relationships, and figuring out who you are—all at the same time. I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach, and I’m not here to judge or “analyze” you.
My style is real, collaborative, and practical. I’ll help you understand what’s happening in your mind and body, and give you tools you can actually use in everyday life—not just in a therapy session.
Why reach out
If you’re tired of overthinking everything, feeling stuck, or reacting in ways you wish you could change, you don’t have to figure it out on your own.
Reaching out is the first step toward feeling more grounded, more confident, and more in control of your life.
Even if you’re not sure where to start—that’s okay. We’ll figure it out together.

Bridges Art Therapt
Art Therapist, ATR-BC, ATCS
Helping people learn about the healing power of art is my passion. As an artist myself, art making has always been my go-to self-care activity, even before I knew about the field of art therapy. When I learned about art therapy, I instantly knew that I wanted to make it my life's work. Its important for you to know, though, that you don't have to be an artist to benefit from art therapy. I design each session about the client I am working with. Art therapy is not a one-size-fits all type of therapy so every session is uniquely designed to fit your healing journey.

Online in Durham, NC North Carolina
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.
