Leigh Egeghy

My approach is best described as insight-oriented, collaborative, honest, and warm. While formally trained in psychodynamic and developmental models of therapy, I also incorporate the practices of CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) and ACT (Acceptance Commitment Therapy), which I find to be particularly helpful in the treatment of anxiety and depression. My clients have told me that they appreciate my sensitivity, humor, and ability to be direct in a way that is both challenging and affirming. I have been working as a therapist for over 20 years. I graduated in 1994 with B.A. in Psychology from The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. I went on to complete a Master's Degree at Smith College School for Social Work in 1997. I have worked in community mental health centers, non-profit mental health clinics, and most recently at Duke University's Counseling and Psychological Services. I have been in private practice since 2014.
