Hello! My name is C Durden (she/her/hers), and I work at the Getting Real Counseling Center. A little bit about GRCC: Getting Real Counseling Center provides individual and relational counseling services to those who need it most. Our practice is a safe space to talk through your daily struggles and unlock your true potential. We pride ourselves in offering a place to talk without interruption, judgement, and perception of others getting in your way. Talk therapy can help you identify what you really want and need, help uncover the values and beliefs that drive you, your relationships, and your world view. Specialties: Our practice is happy to address anything that you believe is holding you back from living your best life, but we specialize in services catered to eating disorders (ED) and body image, LGBTQ+ issues, self-injury, trauma (emotional, physical, and religious), neurodivergence (ADHD, Autism Spectrum), kink, ethical non-monogamy (ENM), and relationships. Getting Real Counseling Center is the perfect place to talk and get assistance in developing a plan to change your life for the better. A little bit about me specifically: When you and I are in the room together, my goal is for you to be able to be your authentic self—including all of the grit, messiness, and beauty that comes with it. I work from an integrated perspective that incorporates narrative, feminist, queer, and existential lenses, but I am also able to adapt my methods to bring in other tools to best serve the specific issues at hand. I believe in a balance of compassion and challenge when working with clients. The challenge is that this is vulnerable work—it can be scary, harder before it gets easier, but I don’t expect you to work alone. You and I will work together, and there is no topic that is too big or too taboo for this space. I will strive to cultivate a trusting relationship between us so that you feel safe bringing in whatever you need to. My passion areas include sex therapy, gender identity work, grief and loss, and navigating interpersonal relationships. While I am open to working with all clients, the communities I love to center on include LGBTQIA+ communities, older adults, men and masculine of center clients, kink communities, and non-monogamous clients. My wish is for us to feel big emotions together, and face what we need to head on. Often in my sessions, there can be crying, but there can also be laughter, a good amount of swearing (if you’re comfortable!), and the shared wonder of growth. I am excited to potentially join you on your journey, and cannot wait to get to know you! I take Blue Cross/ Blue Shield, Cigna, and Aetna insurance.
