Your life looks successful on the outside. Inside, something still feels off.
I offer private, personalized therapy for adults and couples in Durham and Chapel Hill, NC.
High-achieving but quietly exhausted
Successful career, struggling marriage
Numb on the outside, overwhelmed on the inside
Going through the motions but not feeling alive
Self-doubt that no amount of accomplishment seems to quiet
Relationships that feel distant no matter how hard you try
You’re beginning to realize that your go-to ways of dealing with stress and anxiety are coping mechanisms that no longer work but you’re not sure how to change.
Hi, I'm Arezou (she/her), a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Durham, serving residents all over the Triangle. I believe everyone has the capacity to heal, grow, and create meaningful change. My goal is to provide a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can feel safe to be yourself and explore whatever brings you to therapy.
Whether you're navigating anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, life transitions, or simply feeling stuck, we'll work together at a pace that feels right for you. Therapy is a collaborative process, and I strive to help you better understand yourself, build on your strengths, and develop the tools to navigate life’s challenges with greater confidence and resilience.
It is a privilege to be part of your journey, and my hope is that you leave each session feeling heard, supported, and empowered to move forward.
I work with adults and couples who are high-functioning on the outside but privately navigating anxiety, unresolved trauma, or relationships that don't feel as close as they'd like.
I offer thoughtful, unhurried therapy tailored to you. I work with a small, select caseload to give each client the depth of attention they deserve.
How I can support you…
Whether you're new to therapy or returning after a long time away, reaching out takes courage. I offer a complimentary 20-minute consultation so you can ask questions and get a feel for how I work before committing to a first session.
My theoretical approach…
My approach is integrative and tailored to you. I draw primarily on psychodynamic, relational, Internal Family Systems (IFS), attachment, and EMDR frameworks — meaning we will work with both insight and the body to create change that lasts.
See the Approach page for a fuller description of each modality.
