Our Story
Durham Therapists was founded in 2015 with a simple but powerful mission: to make quality mental health care more accessible and transparent for residents throughout Durham, North Carolina and the surrounding Triangle area. We recognized that finding the right therapist could be an overwhelming and confusing process, especially during times when people need support the most.
Our founder, like many Durham residents, experienced firsthand the challenges of navigating the mental health care system. After spending countless hours searching for qualified therapists, comparing credentials, and trying to understand different therapeutic approaches, it became clear that there had to be a better way. Durham deserved a comprehensive, trustworthy resource that would connect people with the mental health professionals who could truly help them.
Our Mission
We believe that everyone deserves access to quality mental health care, and that the process of finding the right therapist should be straightforward, informative, and empowering. Durham Therapists exists to bridge the gap between those seeking mental health support and the qualified professionals ready to provide it.
Our Mission Is Threefold:
- Connect: Link Durham residents with qualified, licensed mental health professionals who match their specific needs and preferences
- Inform: Provide comprehensive, accurate information about therapists, their specialties, approaches, and qualifications
- Empower: Give people the tools and knowledge they need to make confident decisions about their mental health care
