Individual Therapy in Durham and Online Across North Carolina
+1 919-381-8051

I'm Celeste Ige, MSW, LCSW. Individual counseling offers space to talk about trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, caregiver stress, identity, and relationship concerns at a pace that works for you.

We will explore what brings you here, identify goals together, and practice coping skills you can use in everyday life. In-person appointments are available in Durham, and telehealth serves people physically located in North Carolina. Contact me to discuss fit, current availability, and your insurance plan.

Your Path to Understanding Starts Here

Therapy starts with a conversation about your concerns, experiences, and what you hope will change. You will work with me, Celeste Ige, a North Carolina Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 14 years of clinical experience.

My approach is collaborative. Depending on your needs, we may draw on EMDR, CPT, CBT, DBT skills, or motivational interviewing. We will discuss the options and work together on a plan rather than assume one approach fits everyone.

During the first appointment, we review relevant background, confidentiality and its limits, practical details, and possible next steps. You can ask questions and decide whether working together feels like a good fit.

Fees & Insurance

Self-pay sessions: $180 per session. Sliding scale rates are available for those who qualify. Contact the practice to discuss eligibility.

Conversations Therapy accepts Blue Cross Blue Shield, UnitedHealthcare, Medicare, Ambetter, and Aetna. Coverage and network participation depend on your specific plan, even within the same insurance company.

Before scheduling, contact the practice so we can verify your particular plan, benefits, and any expected out-of-pocket costs. We will discuss financial details before you decide whether to begin.

Please do not send insurance cards, member numbers, or detailed medical information through the website inquiry form. Call 919-381-8051 to ask how to provide the information needed for verification.
