Starting therapy can feel intimidating, especially if it's your first time. During your initial session with Dr. Trevor Duncan, you can expect a relaxed, supportive, and judgment-free environment where the focus is on getting to know you and understanding what brings you to therapy. The first session is an opportunity to discuss your current concerns, personal history, strengths, goals, and any challenges you may be facing. Dr. Duncan will ask questions to gain a better understanding of your experiences while also giving you plenty of space to share what feels important. Together, you'll begin exploring what you hope to gain from therapy and develop a plan that fits your unique needs and circumstances. There is no pressure to tell your entire story in one session. The goal is to build a comfortable therapeutic relationship, answer any questions you may have, and establish a foundation for meaningful growth and healing.

If you're 15 or older and feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or ready for change, therapy can provide the support and tools you need to move forward.

I also welcome individuals who wish to better understand themselves, improve relationships, build resilience, and become the best version of themselves. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to your unique needs and goals. Whether you're healing from the past, managing present-day challenges, or working toward personal growth, therapy can help you develop practical skills, gain insight, and create meaningful, lasting change. You don't have to navigate life's challenges alone—support is available, and growth is possible.
Other specialties
I identify as
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is an evidence-based treatment approach that helps individuals identify and change unhelpful patterns of thinking and behavior. By increasing awareness of the connection between thoughts, emotions, and actions, CBT empowers clients to develop healthier coping strategies, improve emotional regulation, reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression, and enhance overall functioning. CBT is goal-oriented, practical, and focused on building skills that can be applied to everyday challenges, promoting long-term resilience and well-being. CBT is an excellent tool for the treatment of anxiety and depression. I also use it to treat many other common emotional and mental health problems.
Cognitive Processing (CPT)
Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) is an evidence-based treatment designed to help individuals recover from trauma and PTSD. CPT assists clients in identifying and challenging unhelpful beliefs related to traumatic experiences, allowing them to develop more balanced and accurate perspectives. Through this process, individuals often experience reduced trauma-related symptoms, improved emotional well-being, healthier relationships, and increased confidence in managing life's challenges.
EMDR
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an evidence-based therapy that helps individuals process and heal from traumatic or distressing experiences. By using guided bilateral stimulation, EMDR supports the brain's natural ability to reprocess difficult memories, reducing their emotional intensity and impact. Clients often experience decreased symptoms of trauma, anxiety, and stress, along with improved emotional regulation, self-confidence, and overall well-being.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is an evidence-based treatment that helps individuals develop skills to manage intense emotions, improve relationships, and cope effectively with stress. DBT combines acceptance and change strategies to promote emotional regulation, distress tolerance, mindfulness, and interpersonal effectiveness. Through learning and practicing these skills, clients can increase resilience, reduce impulsive behaviors, and enhance overall emotional well-being and quality of life.
Motivational Interviewing
Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a collaborative, client-centered approach that helps individuals explore and strengthen their motivation for positive change. By fostering a supportive and nonjudgmental environment, MI encourages clients to identify personal goals, resolve ambivalence, and build confidence in their ability to make meaningful changes. This approach can enhance engagement in treatment, increase commitment to change, and support long-term personal growth and well-being.
