connection, intimacy, healing

Hi, I’m Celynd Malone.

Celynd Malone - Sex addiction therapist Durham NC

I work with all matters sex, gender, and religious trauma.

This work brings me great joy. I get to spend my days walking alongside people as they learn how to connect with themselves and others. The depth of this work is rooted in a healthy relationship with self. Connection and intimacy flow from the compassion and gentleness you show yourself.  Whether you have some things to heal from in your life, or you have intimacy skills to learn, I want you to build a life you love through our work together.

I am out-of-network for all insurance.

Fees are due at time of service. Most insurance plans will reimburse you a portion of their “allowable rate.” I work with a service, Mentaya, that helps clients access their out-of-network benefits. You can check what coverage you have for out-of-network benefits in the HIPAA-compliant widget on this page.

Sliding Scale Options

A limited number of sliding scale fees are available through Open Path Collective. Sliding scale is from $40 - $70 for individuals and $40 - $80 for couples. View my profile and follow the links to sign up for Open Path.

Good Faith Estimate

By law, providers are required to provide estimates for the cost of your care. A Good Faith Estimate is an overview of the expected costs associated with your treatment. A Good Faith Estimate is available upon scheduling or as requested.
