Medication Management Therapists in Durham, NC

The evidence-based practice for the management of most mental health disorders is a combination of medication and talk therapy. I manage medication for different types of mental health disorders: depression, anxiety, bipolar, ADHD, substance use disorder, insomnia, and obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD)

We provide psychological care that includes close collaboration with prescribing providers to support effective medication management when medication is part of treatment. Our approach integrates psychotherapy with ongoing monitoring of symptoms, side effects, and overall functioning to ensure coordinated and comprehensive care. We work with clients to understand how medication fits within their broader treatment plan, while also focusing on evidence-based therapeutic strategies to address emotional, cognitive, and behavioral concerns. The goal is to optimize outcomes through a well-coordinated, team-based approach to mental health care.

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.
