Find therapists in Chapel Hill

Mary Caldwell-Pineda

In my nearly 40 years of experience I learned everyone has story to tell of pleasures and pains. Anxiety, depression, grief and loss, women's issues, mother/daughter, aging/intergenerational family, inclusivity and diversity issues are just a few stories I've been told. I specialize in individual adults and/or couples to help them write the next chapter or rewrite the troubled one finding answers and strengths, new tools and skills that can lead to creating a more satisfying life.

Are you struggling to move forward from a recent traumatic event? Maybe a past experience from earlier in your life continues to negatively impact your present life. Maybe you feel stuck in a cycle of negative thoughts or overwhelming emotions. What if you could feel lighter, more content, and more confident? Maybe you've spent a lot of time in therapy and have insight and coping skills but know there's room to heal on an even deeper level. EMDR intensive therapy may be a great fit for you!

Tatyana Kholodkov

Project Yes PLLC clients are seeking to live a life with more ease and meaning. Our clients are often experiencing some form of stuckness or wanting to enhance their life. They may be navigating depression and pervasive anxiety, a major life change, healing from trauma, getting freedom from unhelpful habits, and exploring their identities. They want more depth in their self-awareness and their relationships (LGBTQIA, monogamous, poly, kinky). Our clients receive compassionate, affirming care!

Luke Hirst

My work focuses largely on people dealing with anxiety, going through life transitions, or exploring issues of gender and sexuality. I help people in relationships come back into connection with each other, and individuals come into connection with themselves. I especially enjoy working with people who are LGBTQIA+, neurodivergent, and/or in nontraditional relationship structures.

Julia Kaplinska

Clients who are drawn to my practice include people who are brand new to therapy and those who have tried traditional approaches and are interested in a somatically-integrative, holistic, mind-body approach. This includes people who are grappling with depression, anxiety, trauma-related symptoms, co-occurring mental and physical health symptoms, life transitions (e.g., transition to parenting, job or relationship), spiritual questions, and integration of non-ordinary states of consciousness.

Meg Higgins

You are sitting in therapy watching your therapist tell you for the fourth time that her cousin is gay and just got a “very butch” haircut. He misgenders you, or forgets your partner’s pronouns, she pulls out Food and Mood, and he talks about how apple cider vinegar might be the solution to all your problems. She hasn't lived in a fat body. He hasn’t experienced homophobia or heterosexism. What initially seemed like a small hill to climb in your relationship has started to feel like a mountain

Ali Siewert

Being human is often tough. Sometimes we lose our way and can feel stuck and overwhelmed. Sometimes we would like to change parts of our lives or ourselves but don’t know how. Therapy can be an empowering way to promote healing, growth, and wellness. Often, we initially seek treatment to address a specific concern and then begin to uncover other areas of our lives in which we want to make meaningful change. My goal is for this process to feel supportive, affirming, and appropriately challenging.

Dolores Chandler

You may feel out of place or struggle to trust your worth, carrying the weight of oppression, trauma, or the pressure to fit into a world not built for you. You want to heal, feel at home in yourself, and build a life that feels authentic. I offer a space of care, empathy, and non-judgment. I love working with LGBTQ+ & BIPOC folks, as well as individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their caregivers, through a strengths-based, neurodiversity-affirming lens.

Emily Fonseca

My clients are folks who have decided that they are willing to move through uncertainty and discomfort to find something new. They may not know what it is yet, but they've decided "not this." My clients are willing to examine their thought and behavior patterns, traumas, fears and successes in order to build a life that feels safe, grounded and joyful. Often parents, kiddos, teens and families, they are willing to understand their interaction patterns and experiment in service of their goals.

Jennifer Melerski

You may feel overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, and alone in dealing with a life crisis or transition. Many of us struggle deeply around completing our families – finding the right partner, having children. You may have delayed having children for your career; you may have unexplained infertility. You & your partner may be dealing with these experiences differently. Maybe you have experienced pregnancy loss or other traumatic events. Maybe you are struggling with being a new parent.

Eliza Fochler

I work primarily with older teens, young adults and adults. Many of the client's I have worked with experience anxiety, depression, mood disorders, trauma, grief/loss, life transitions, interpersonal relationship issues, family conflict, low self-esteem, or eating disorders.

Johnna Bolender

I specialize in addiction and trauma, and I am trained in providing EMDR therapy. Understanding that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to helping individuals, I strive to adopt a person-centered methodology, tailoring our sessions to meet your specific needs.

Brenda Mullis

One of the things I love most is to witness a break through. Helping my clients realize that they're not what they've done in the past, and that there are other ways to view themselves, and the world. I thoroughly enjoy helping people identify their strengths and creating an environment where my clients feel comfortable enough to process through their issues.

Stephanie Baldwin

If you are a high-functioning professional navigating anxiety, life transitions, career stress, faulty coping mechanisms, or relationship challenges- you're in the right place. Serving North Carolina and Texas, I offer individual & couples therapy for adults, group therapy, and workshops. My clients are typically achieving some level of success externally, but dealing with internal struggles other people may not be aware of. I'm passionate about making space for those silent internal challenges.

Micheale Collie

Are you a high achiever who struggles with anxiety or stress? Do you sometimes have unrealistic expectations for yourself? Are you feeling overwhelmed and looking for more balance in your life? Having spent my career working with adults with similar concerns, my main priority is to help you lessen your anxiety and find that balance. I want to get to know you and what has worked for you, as well as what has not.

Leah Farley

Does your relationship feel like a constant source of worry and uncertainty? You’ve noticed a growing emotional distance with your partner and you’re afraid to speak up. Every time you try, your mind goes blank and your heart races. Lately, you’ve been feeling unappreciated and you wonder if your partner even cares. You’re losing sleep and it feels like your heart is breaking. You want to move forward but feel lost and alone, wishing for someone who truly understands and can help.

Jonah Leslie

You’re feeling disconnected from yourself or the people around you. Maybe you’re feeling stuck in life and can’t find the energy to change things up. Or maybe you’re overwhelmed by thoughts or feelings that push you around or keep you from doing what you want to be doing. I'd like to help. Clients often come to me seeking relief from pervasive anxiety and overwhelm, or wanting to process major changes. I work with clients in all forms of relationships, and see couples and polycules too.

Katrina Kuzyszyn-Jones

Perhaps you thought a relationship or job would bring meaning and purpose into your life, and now you are at cross-roads or generally feel unfulfilled. You may even recognize the patterns that you need to change, but you cannot figure out how to put that change into action. Together we can develop a holistic plan for action that helps you develop healthy habits, grow personally, and be a leader in your work and life.

Mark Eades

I focus my clinical practice on anxiety, couples therapy, and men's issues. I am skilled at using a number of therapeutic interventions to help my clients gain clarity around their present life circumstances and then to work towards attainable goals for a better future.

Dr. Michelle Alvarez

I work with "normal" people struggling with: • Feeling stressed, anxious, depressed, moody, angry • Burnout/ overwhelm (“adulting”/ “the grind”/ “the rat race”) • Parenting/ balancing career & family • Conflict with parents/ family (aka, mommy/daddy or childhood issues) • People-pleasing • Perfectionism & procrastination • ADHD • Transitions (move, college, divorce, menopause) • PTSD/trauma (sexual, combat, relationship) • The state of the country/ world • Racial trauma & identity • Immigration

Maddi Petermann

Do you ever think "Why am I feeling this way?", "what is wrong with me?", or "am I the only one who feels this way?". It can feel shameful, isolating, and hopeless. I promise you are not the only one with these questions. I know it is super hard to have these types of conversations and especially with a strange (like a therapist at first). However, if you'd like to see me, my goal is to earn your trust, listen to your story, support & help you achieve your goals.
