Welcome To My-Therapist, Inc.
At My-Therapist, we’re all about YOU. Life in the fast-paced Raleigh area can be overwhelming, relationships can feel strained, and sometimes it’s hard to find your way forward. But here’s the good news: you don’t have to do it alone. Whether you’re an individual seeking clarity, a couple craving connection, or a family striving for harmony, we’re here to help you thrive—not just survive.
Our mission? To empower you to break through barriers, heal what feels broken, and build a life you truly love—right here in Raleigh, Durham, Wake Forest, and beyond.
Here’s how we do it:
We Create a Safe Environment
It’s normal to feel uncertain or skeptical about beginning therapy and that’s why we want to reassure you that we focus on learning about you and what’s important to you, first.
Our Methods are Based on Science
We use Gottman Couples Therapy and Emotionally Focused Therapy, proven effective research-based methods of therapy so we can achieve the best outcomes for you.
We Work Hard to Understand You
We know it is vital to the success of therapy that you feel heard. There are always different perspectives in life and in relationships and we want to make sure we hear yours!
We always have hope for our clients. We’ve seen individuals, couples, and families overcome challenges to create lives filled with connection and purpose. You CAN achieve the growth and balance you’re looking for. Take the first step—book your initial appointment and move from struggling to thriving!
MEET Our Team
We are committed to providing an inclusive environment for all, regardless of gender, age, gender identity, race, health status, national origin, relationship status, sexual orientation, disability, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and religion.
