Knightdale Therapists specializing in Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

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

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.

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.

Reagan Courliss

I work with older teens and adults trying to figure out what’s happened, who they are in this moment, and where they want to go from here. With a warm, straightforward, and affirming approach, I can help you work toward goals that are focused on you and getting to a place where 'being' just feels better. I really enjoy working with older teens, young adults, LGBTQ+ adolescents, and anyone looking to heal and recover from trauma.

I am an openly queer licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC). I believe that having a space to explore one's identity is essential to mental well-being. I primarily work with adults around sexuality or gender identity, anxiety, depression, OCD, neurodiversity (ADHD, ASD), trauma, and relationship concerns. I work with monogamous, ENM, and poly couples.

Alyssa Doberstein

At times we may struggle to communicate and connect with our partners, experience a lack of passion and romance, or have difficulty managing life struggles, distressing events, or conflict in our relationships. Therapy can be a chance to rediscover yourself, your relationships, and heal from painful life experiences while exploring new skills and resources to grow and develop increased relationship and life satisfaction.

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.

Julie Andrews

As far as most people know you have a great life, but deep down you know something is missing. You feel anxious, guilty, overwhelmed, resentful and exhausted. Despite your achievements, your life is not fulfilling. You don’t feel “good enough.” You feel empty. Your life has become an overscheduled calendar and endless to do list. This isn’t the life you dreamed of but you’re not sure where to start. It’s time to make a change. You deserve to live a fulfilled and authentic life.

You know you aren’t living your fullest life, because fear and anxiety is interfering with what you want and need to do. All you want to do is break free from this anxiety! I get it, and I can help you. Anxiety is treatable, and I have particular expertise treating phobias and OCD. It's exhausting to cope with anxiety, and it can make you vulnerable to depression, burnout, and problems at home and with your job. I am confident that therapy can help you find relief from the grip of fear and panic

Ashley Dunn

Many of my clients come to therapy stuck in the same patterns, unsure how to break the cycle but knowing they want to make a change. I help my clients understand where these patterns come from, how these patterns served them in the past, and empower them to shed those parts they have outgrown. I collaborate with my clients to integrate their past experiences with greater bodily and emotional awareness in order to make choices with agency and authentic presence.

Jane Thibodeau, Somatic Psychotherapist

Have you tried talk therapy but didn’t see the changes you were hoping for? Do you have good insight into your problems but don’t know how to actually change them? Are you looking to heal from trauma more effectively and holistically? If so, it might be time to try a somatic approach. Somatic psychotherapy helps us find, understand and resolve the root causes of our issues in ways that are often inaccessible through traditional talk therapy.

My clients are people who are on a journey to understand themselves and their environments more clearly. I specialize in working with: people who are part of the LGBTQIA+ community, who identify as neurodivergent, who are living with chronic conditions, are experiencing life transitions, and those who experience symptoms from depression, anxiety, and other mood disorders. I also enjoy having conversations with clients about exploring gender identity and deconstructing from systems.

Casey Brasfield

I enjoy working with clients of all ages who hold multiple minority identities and are seeking identity development, trauma therapy, or parent training. Many of my clients have jokingly described me as a "process consultant" and "professional poker". I can treat a range of mental health concerns but highly enjoy serving the local LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent community. I have experience writing letters in support of gender-affirming medical interventions (e.g., hormone treatment and surgery).
