Serving Black / African American

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.

Raleigh, North Carolina therapist: Nour Counseling, counselor/therapist
Serving Black / African American

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.

Raleigh sits at the heart of the Research Triangle alongside Durham and Chapel Hill, and its concentration of biotech, pharmaceutical, and university workers drives consistent demand for therapists experienced with perfectionism, burnout, and the psychological costs of competitive knowledge-economy careers. The region's rapid growth has made Raleigh one of the fastest-growing cities in the United States, and therapists frequently address the adjustment, social isolation, and identity challenges common among transplants rebuilding lives in a new city. WakeMed Health and UNC REX Healthcare serve as institutional anchors alongside a well-established private practice community across North Hills, Midtown, and the Five Points area. Raleigh's growing diversity — with large South Asian, Latino, and Black professional communities — is increasing demand for culturally affirming and multilingual therapists.
