Authentic Couples and Sex Therapy in Durham, NC – Statewide Telehealth Services

Feeling more like roommates than partners? You're exhausted from the same fights and wondering if 'happily ever after' is still possible. Maybe you’re waiting for them to reach out, to initiate, or to simply acknowledge the tension. In your logic, "if they were still attracted to me, they’d touch me" or "if they truly understood me, we wouldn't be in this cycle".

Times are tough, especially when your relationship is falling apart. Feeling stuck and alone? Harkening in Durham, NC, led by Zhana Balaam, offers telehealth counseling for individuals, couples, and sex therapy. Life doesn’t change, but with Harkening in Durham, NC, you can.  I help couples bridge the distance, turn conflict into connection, and remember why they fell in love. Let's get started.

Finding the right therapist can be time-consuming and exhausting, especially when you have to search through multiple websites or comb through Google results to find someone who meets your specific needs.

 

With that being said, I’m sure you’re asking:

“Why Harkening?”

“What makes your company different from the others?”

“What makes you different?”

Great questions! I am a Black female private practice owner specializing in both Christian and nonreligious individual and couples counseling, as well as sex therapy. This focus sets me apart from therapists who may have a more generalist approach or those who are simply professionals in the field of therapy.

During therapy sessions, I remain authentically myself—humorous, professional, relatable, and saved. I encourage you to be yourself too. Open communication and transparency are vital for effective healing. This is a safe space for you to express yourself and begin the healing process.
