ABOUT ME

HEY! I’M COLIE

I’m a licensed clinical social worker in Chapel Hill, NC specializing in the treatment of eating disorders, trauma, anxiety, depression, as well as many other struggles. I got my masters in social work at Case Western Reserve University in 2008 where I started specializing in helping people recover from anorexia, bulimia and binge eating disorder. Before starting my private practice in 2015, I worked as a therapist in the UNC Department of Psychiatry and The Center of Excellence for Eating Disorders where I got to work on innovative research studies under Dr. Cynthia Bulik. My specialization in trauma started to bloom years later when I realized just how much our life experiences shape how we are in the present and that healing isn’t always as simple as learning to think a new way.

TRAINING

I regularly take part in trainings to continue to grow as a therapist and a person. I am currently training in Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP) and have previously trained in Internal Family Systems (IFS), EMDR and CBT.

I actively participate in my own personal therapy, and consultation, to be the best person and therapist that I can be. I have participated in The American Academy of Psychotherapists, which require their therapists to have participated in at least 100 hours of their own therapy.

BEFLIEFS

I welcome the LGBTQIA+ community and people of all identities in my practice.

MEDIA

I’ve been featured in Huff Post and Teen Vogue.
