It’s easy to feel like you have little to no control. Those of us belonging to marginalized groups spend every day living in a society that was explicitly not built for us. As if systemic problems and oppression aren’t enough, many of us have individual concerns that generate a huge impact on our day-to-day functioning and vitality. With all the thoughts and emotions it can generate, having a human brain is simultaneously an exhilarating and exhausting experience. While we work to change the world we live in, we also need tools to live worthwhile and fulfilling lives in the present. That is where therapy comes in. My absolute favorite thing as a therapist is helping clients find and reclaim their agency, to create meaningful change and live a fulfilling life. I love working with other members of the LGBTQIA+ community and have expertise in topics of orientation and gender identity. I strive for racial equity and cultural competence in my practice. I specialize in stress, anxiety, and related concerns. I utilize methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and hypnotherapy that help you define your core values and set/achieve your goals, and ERP to treat OCD.

Olivia Dellston, MSW, LCSWA- Outpatient Therapist • 919-283-9654 • olivia@threeoaksbehavioralhealth.com • 3708 Lyckan Pkwy #106, Durham, NC 27707 • Website • Facebook • Hi! My name is Olivia. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker Associate and I serve as an Outpatient Psychotherapist at Three Oaks Behavioral Health & Wellness in South Durham. I completed my undergraduate education at Rowan University in my home state of New Jersey. Four years ago, I moved to North Carolina to complete my Master of Social Work at UNC Chapel Hill.

My approach as a therapist is to communicate and collaborate with my clients to understand what they need and do my best to support them whatever way is best. I believe therapy should be non-judgmental, supportive, and empowering. I would love to support you as you learn to manage anxiety and depression, cope with life transitions, explore gender and sexuality, understand and learn to thrive as a neurodivergent person, strengthen emotional regulation skills, understand and improve interpersonal relationships, and more. I believe the value of acknowledging, embracing, and empathizing with my clients and their different identities is of the utmost importance.

In my practice, I utilize a person-centered approach and draw from Motivational Interviewing, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Play Therapy, and Art Therapy. I specialize in working with queer and neurodivergent populations and am comfortable working with clients ages 5 or older.

Outside of the office, I enjoy playing softball, volleyball, and whatever other sport I am invited to, spending time with my cats, Callie and Moe, and playing video games. • LGBTQ-owned? No • AAILA-Owned? No

Psychotherapist at Mindful Collaboration • 984-318-3203 • sanjabroer@protonmail.com • 5003 Southpark Drive, Suite 240 • Website • Instagram • LinkedIn • My name is Sanja (sounds like Tanya with an S), and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker Associate with experience in providing psychotherapy to individuals and couples. I am somewhat new to the Triangle area and would love to offer mental health services to my local LGBTQ+ community. I currently accept most plans under the BCBS umbrella, as well as self-pay, and limited sliding scale options.

My therapeutic approach is integrative and non-pathologizing, drawing from both psychodynamic and humanistic theories to support you in your healing journey. I strongly believe that the therapeutic relationship plays a central role in the healing process, and I strive to create a safe, empathetic, and non-judgmental environment for you to explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I view our work together as a collaborative and evolving process that caters to your needs and aspirations. We will work together to identify patterns that may be hindering your progress, develop effective coping skills, and foster healthier relationships with yourself and others.

I have supported clients through a range of challenges, including trauma and C/PTSD, depression, anxiety, grief, OCD, self-harm, suicidal ideation, eating and mood disorders, relationship issues, and life transitions. While my clinical toolbox is of eclectic nature, I naturally gravitate toward Brainspotting, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Somatic Experiencing (SE), Polyvagal and Attachment theories, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Additionally, I am passionate about working with clients from diverse cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds, and I am committed to providing culturally sensitive and inclusive care. As someone who has personally benefited from therapy, I strongly believe in the transformative power of a trusting therapeutic relationship. It has been a life-changing experience for me, and I would be honored to be a part of your journey towards conscious awareness and self-discovery.

Originally from Croatia, I now call North Carolina home. When not immersed in therapeutic work, I enjoy practicing yoga, hiking, and spending time with loved ones. As an avid reader, I frequently incorporate books and other resources into my work with clients. In addition to my clinical practice, I am a Crisis Text Line volunteer and a member of the National Association of Social Workers, regularly attending conferences and workshops to stay up to date with the latest evidence-based treatment approaches. I believe we all have the ability to heal and uncover our authentic selves; this process is truly for everyone. You don’t have to do it alone – I would be privileged to journey alongside you.
