As a young child, I witnessed my mother battling with mental illness (psychosis). She was tormented day and night with this condition without any relief. I felt helpless and scared for my mother as I watched her fight to have some reality in her life. Finally, as I got older, I took her to an outpatient psychiatry clinic, even though she got some relief from antipsychotic medications. She only lived a few months afterwards. I knew then and I promised myself I will help individuals who have mental health conditions have a quality life.

Driven by a strong passion for mental health and a commitment to helping patients feel safe, heard, and respected, I returned to graduate school and obtained my Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner degree from Liberty University in 2021.
I have experience treating diverse populations across the lifespan, including adolescents, adults, and geriatric patients, managing conditions including anxiety disorders, depression, substance use disorders, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, phobias, mood disorders, and panic disorder.

Child therapy, also known as counseling for kids, helps young individuals better understand and manage the challenges that affect their mental health. Common challenges amongst kids include behavioral issues, trauma, bullying, depression, and anxiety. All ages of children can attend and benefit from child therapy at Thriveworks Durham.
Child therapy works by using multiple techniques tailored to fit the child’s needs based on their age group, their challenges, and the severity of their challenges. It might involve play therapy for younger kids or cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, art therapy, and others for varying ages. In any case, Thriveworks child therapists in Durham, NC have the expertise and experience to help kids at their level.
Child therapy is a type of therapy meant for clients within a specific age group, while play therapy is an approach to therapy that helps children with self-expression and stress relief, among others. Play therapy is a technique that is often used in child therapy to help children express what’s running through their minds when they do not have the words to express their thoughts and emotions. It can get children to express what’s wrong, what might be causing unwanted behaviors, or what they might need in a way that is accessible to them so that therapists can then work to treat the issue.
It’s not always obvious when a child should see a therapist for their behavior, though in the midst of challenges like divorce, loss, bullying, and other mental health conditions, it’s often a good idea to seek it out. Common behaviors that can indicate a need for child therapy include separation anxiety, bedwetting (at inappropriate ages), and agitation/excessive irritability — especially if it reaches a point of physical violence.
Cognitive behavioral therapy at Thriveworks in Durham, NC is one of the best types of therapy for children. However, it can be administered in child therapy sessions in a variety of ways that are more accessible to young minds, such as play therapy.
Child therapy at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The length of child therapy depends on your child’s needs as well as the goals that you and their therapist might have for them. Generally, child therapy sessions will last for several months.
At Thriveworks, we accept most major insurance plans, allowing many clients to pay as little as $0–$50 per session with their co-pay. We also offer self-pay options for those out-of-network or without insurance. Self-pay rates for talk therapy range from $160 to $240 for intake sessions and $135 to $195 for follow-ups, depending on your state.
