Work with a Psychologist in Durham, NC—Psychologists, Therapists, and Counselors

Jenna is struggling to adjust in her new city. Moving after graduation sounded like a great idea—but now she’s regretting it. Jenna doesn’t know anyone in the area and she’s having trouble making new friends. Her coworkers are on the older side and their interests don’t quite match up. She’s lacking social interaction as well as personal fulfillment, and she’s starting to feel depressed as a result. Moving back home is out of the realm of possibilities, leaving her wondering what to do or where to turn.

Major life transitions of the like can be tough. We’re creatures of habit, and we like familiarity. So, when we change our surroundings or our day to day activities, sometimes we suffer—at least at first, until we adjust and adapt. Fortunately, if we struggle to do so, a psychologist can help us. They come equipped with skills, training, and experience to help us during major life transitions as well as many other difficult situations. Their ultimate goal is to help us achieve happier, more successful living.

Every person on this earth is full of great possibilities that can be realized through imagination, effort, and perseverance.”

–Scott Barry Kaufman

What Are the Perks of Working with a Psychologist?

Psychologists bring unique knowledge and skills to the table—they’ve studied and trained to help people with the vast variety of problems us humans experience on a daily basis. We can’t always manage or solve these problems alone, which is where they come in. As mentioned earlier, some of the problems that they can help with include:

  1. Adapting well during major life transitions: In the example above, Jenna struggles to make new friends after moving to a new city and in turn lacks that critical social interaction with others. As a result, she starts to feel depressed. A psychologist can help Jenna find new avenues for meeting new people that she’ll enjoy spending time with and can build friendships with. They can also help her to manage her depression symptoms and determine other contributing factors to the illness.
  2. Resolving relationship issues: Another common challenge we run into is a problem in our relationships, be it miscommunication, infidelity, evolving roles, differences in parenting, and so on. Often, we can benefit from a third party—especially an unbiased third party who is trained to help us work through issues of the like. A psychologist at Thriveworks can help you and your partner work through the challenges in your relationship as well as strengthen your overall problem-solving skills, which will come in handy in the future.
  3. Manage symptoms of a mental illness: If you exhibit symptoms of depression, anxiety, or another mental illness, it’s important you talk to a professional. Only then can you begin to receive treatment for the given disorder, which is crucial to your health. The psychologists at Thriveworks can offer you treatment for your mental illness and help you manage your symptoms.

This list could go on, but we think you get the gist. In summary, the psychologists at Thriveworks in Durham can assist you in solving or managing virtually any problem you are experiencing. Our goal is to help you live a happier, more successful life. If you share this goal of living better, consider partnering up with one of our psychologists.

Getting comfortable with unknowns!

★★★★★
Madina has been so helpful to me in working through anxiety! She’s very straightforward, and has allowed me to see patterns that have really impacted how I’m living in the world, and to start to challenge them. I can honestly say that I have changed more in the year I’ve been seeing her than in decades of previous therapy experiences. She is an exceptional mental health professional!

Dr. Lundy proved to be everything I had heard about her abilities to connect, relate and counsel individuals who had been broken during life's journey.

Request Giles!

★★★★★
I am a Family Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and have had the pleasure of working alongside Giles Christman. Giles is an outstanding therapist, which his clients can attest to- but what I'd like to provide feedback on is what clients don't see. Giles goes above and beyond to identify resources for each client's need(s), including assisting the client in overcoming any barriers in accessing those resources. Giles exemplifies a holistic, compassionate therapist- I highly recommend him to assist you on your wellness journey.

Great counselor!

★★★★★
I am currently seeing Dulcie Garrett for talk therapy. I found her through my spouses insurance, and based on her bio I had a strong feeling she would be a good fit. I am bipolar and use talk therapy to help with coping skills, goal planning, relationship building, and numerous other things. Dulcie has been an amazing sounding board that helps keep me focused, and on track. I can't say enough good things about her!

Great Location and Great Counselor

★★★★★
When looking for career counseling I found Thriveworks and their Durham location fit the bill, perfectly. The location was easy to get to and my counselor, Dulcie, was a great listener with sound advice and innovative in ways to help me determine what my next career could be. I wish I would have known Thriveworks and its counseling services were located in the Durham area and available to me earlier in my search.

The Perfect Balance

★★★★★
Dulcie is exactly the counselor I was looking for! As a Christian, I wanted someone who understood my faith, but I also wanted our sessions to be grounded in science. Dulcie has been able to provide a balance of both spiritual guidance and practical exercises grounded in tried-and-true techniques. There have been times when I have been particularly upset in a session and Dulcie has texted me the next day to check in, which I really appreciate. I am sad to be moving out of town-- I wish I could bring her with me!

Dulcie – Review

★★★★★
I met Dulcie in February and she is honestly the best therapist ever! This is my first time ever working with a therapist and she really listens and helps me to walk through any situation I present to her during our sessions. Anyone who receives her as a therapist is lucky to have her! I cannot thank her enough.

Great Care & Validation

★★★★★
I’ve been seeing Dulcie Garrett since October 2018, and it’s remarkable how much my life has improved. I came to see her as I was beginning to work through my separation and divorce. I discovered that I was not just in an unhappy relationship but she was able to see and help me validate for myself, behavior in my marriage that indicated how unhealthy the relationship actually was for me. I was very scared to leave my ex in the beginning and was trying to work through that, while focusing on my kids. I knew what I needed to do but needed someone to talk with as I moved through the process. She listened to me and helped me understand my needs were important. She helped me rediscover my old self that I had locked away. Most importantly, she taught me why boundaries were so important to establish for myself and my children. Through our conversations, I felt my confidence grow and my feelings were validated. I started to trust my own instincts more. Nine months later, I am happily separated, my divorce details are being finalized and I was able to clearly communicate what I wanted, stand up for myself and feel confident in my future. Dulcie has been an amazing support to me through this process, and being able to talk with her and have her validate things I thought were wrong, have helped me immensely. She has been a lifesaver to me!

Dulcie

★★★★★
Dulcie was very open-minded and nonjudgmental, willing to meet me where I was with all my quirks and complexities rather than try to fit me neatly into a category. Where some other counselors were very quick to provide advice, Dulcie instead provided empathy and understanding, helping me work towards solutions that were somewhat unconventional but right for me.

Dulcie has had a wide variety of work experiences in her years as a counselor. She is family oriented and completely dedicated to those she serves in her work.
