Althea Dent
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
My approach to therapy is grounded in collaboration, respect, and practical growth. Therapy with me is a shared process focused on helping you move from feeling stuck toward greater clarity and confidence. I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, solution-focused methods, and a Socratic, meta-questioning style to help clients examine patterns, strengthen self-awareness, and develop effective coping strategies. My work often supports people navigating anxiety, grief, life transitions, and relationship concerns, with an emphasis on tools that can be applied in everyday life. I view the therapeutic relationship as central to meaningful change.

Mary Sayre
Licensed Professional Counselor, M.Ed, LPC
It has always been important to me to help others find their own worth; realize that they deserve to be treated with dignity and respect; and to help them see that often the biggest obstacle to obtaining a sense of worth is a lack of belief that they deserve it.
These messages were often given to us early in life and we have carried them into our current lives-navigating them with old narratives.
I believe that everyone has the right to be unburdened from these old messages to find a truer and more grounded sense of self.

Kel Lash
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC, CLC
I love working with people who desire to live from their hearts. I'm passionate about self- forgiveness (letting go of meaning) and correcting the myths of forgiveness that we have been taught. People who desire to see the unconditional love in themselves and others and let go of meaning they make in their minds that blocks them from being their happiest, most peaceful, authentic selves. If you have experienced trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges that seem to hold you back in life, and want a way to let these thoughts go and live in the present moment, I'm likely a great fit for you. Clients describe me as calm, compassionate, intuitive and out of the box.

Karen Erikson, PhD, Durham DBT, Inc.
Psychologist, PhD
I am a cognitive-behavioral therapist (CBT), and I have expertise in the use of mindfulness-based treatments including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and the treatment of trauma. DBT is a form of CBT that focuses on teaching clients to better regulate their emotions. Our clients often talk about feeling like their emotions "run the show." Our treatment goals are often about helping clients to feel that they can control their emotions, rather than their emotions controlling them.
I see a wide variety of clients in my practice, including individuals struggling with symptoms of borderline personality disorder (BPD), depression, and anxiety disorders. I also work with survivors of trauma, including physical and sexual abuse and assault. I believe that effective treatment begins with a collaborative relationship with my clients.
I earned my Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from the University of Nevada, and joined Durham DBT after completing my clinical internship at Duke University Medical Center. I am also credentialed through PSYPACT, which allows me to provide virtual services in participating states. I have extensive training in evidenced-based therapy and in clinical research.
