Felix Pittman-storey, LCSWA: Adolescents & adults therapist
My name is Felix Pittman-Storey (he/him/his) and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker Associate. We all deserve to build lives worth living. And while our lives are inherently worth living, mental health struggles may cause that vision to blur in and out of focus depending on what’s going on in our lives. I believe that all the wisdom we need is within us already. To me, it’s about recognizing, becoming attuned to, and building confidence in that wisdom, as well as confidence in ourselves.
I’ve been working in the field for over a decade and am skilled in conducting therapy with LGBTQIA+ clients, individuals with personality disorders (and their loved ones), neurodivergent clients, folks with chronic pain/illness, mood disorders, and folks with PTSD and C-PTSD. As a queer, trans, neurodivergent, disabled person myself, my personal lived experience offers a unique, informed approach. I use an eclectic model to collaborate with clients, as well as person-centered and strengths-based approaches. I specialize in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and weave in strategies from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Mindfulness-Based Interventions, and Somatic Based Therapy.
I provide telehealth and in-person services in our Durham office and work with clients age 11+ (clients ages 11-15 are seen in person only). I am in-network with Cigna, Aetna, and BCBS.

savannah corey, lcsw: adolescents, Adults & Couples therapist
My name is Savannah Corey (she/her) and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I utilize a person-centered approach to meet clients where they are, and believe we are the expert in our own lives. Therapy should be a place where you feel really safe to talk about anything including things that you haven't been able to talk about before. I believe that the relationship between a therapist and client is a partnership where all people involved strive to reach the same goals. Sometimes life presents stressful challenges due to recent events, or problems that have gone on a long time. As a Cognitive Behavioral Therapist, I help clients connect thoughts, feelings, or behaviors to "stuck points" in thoughts processes so that negative thoughts can be reframed.
I practice an eclectic approach and utilize multiple modalities including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Solution Focused Therapy, and the Gottman Method. I specialize in helping people from adolescent to adulthood, and couples that struggle with issues such as depression, anxiety, life changes, trauma, women's issues, gender/sexual identity and neurodivergence. I am poly informed and enjoy working with the LGBTQIA+ population.
I work with couples and individuals ages 13-45 in person and via telehealth in our Durham office. I am currently in network with Aetna, BCBS, United and Cigna healthcare plans.
