I’m Daran Edmonds, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 25 years of experience helping adults and couples navigate anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions, and relationship difficulties. My early work in child welfare taught me how profoundly our histories and relationships shape the ways we cope, connect, and understand ourselves. My approach integrates psychodynamic therapy, Internal Family Systems, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. Together, we work to understand the patterns that keep you stuck, develop greater self-compassion, and take meaningful action toward the life and relationships you want. I offer direct, thoughtful, LGBTQ+ affirming therapy in person in Carrboro and online throughout North Carolina.
