Do you or your child feel stressed, overwhelmed, and anxious? You may feel like things are harder than they need to be or that you overthink everything. This leaves you feeling like you don’t even know yourself or your child and miss the times when things were brighter and easier. You may have experienced a big life change or trauma that has left you feeling the need to refocus. If you are looking at how you and your loved ones are handling emotions and you realize that you want to make a change, you are not alone and help is out there. Imagine getting back to finding happiness and letting go of worries.

You don't have to live in emotional pain! Experience healing today! Generally, our culture does not understand emotions very well. We're shamed for showing emotion. Many of us walk around with our emotional tanks empty. This can cause symptoms similar to trauma. It shows up in our relationships as conflict and our alone-time as anxiety and depression. Beyond that, many have experienced significant emotional trauma. Resorting to mere coping skills in an attempt to navigate trauma can offer some short term relief. However, true healing from emotional pain can be yours.

One of the biggest obstacles that we have to deal with is change. But what is interesting is that we go through some type of change every moment, from a psychological, emotional or physical experience. I believe that in order to deal with life changing events, we have to learn how to adapt in a manner that provides the least amount of discomfort. And because we are unique, there are no perfect therapeutic techniques or procedures that makes us change. If the desire to change is present, either from an internal or external perspective, we have the ability to adapt.

My approach to treatment begins with the belief that all people have value and deserve to be treated with dignity. While we have the ability to be resilient, we will at times struggle with life's difficulties. Dr. Viktor Frankl stated, "When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves." My role as a counselor is to assist people with better understanding of these issues and learn new ways to initiate change.

Hi! I’m glad you’ve decided to make some changes in your life! Things are bad lately, but we can make them more manageable. I strongly believe that therapy should focus on the individual. There are many therapeutic techniques that help a lot of people, but I’m more interested in the people who fall through the cracks. I want to work with you to figure out what works for you specifically. Sometimes it takes a lot of trial and error, sometimes it’s just about listening to what you know you need even when it goes against what you were taught.

Counseling does not solve problems, but instead provides a safe place to explore options and to process information. Counseling is for people with mental illness and for anyone who feels alone, misunderstood, hopelessness, or confused. Everyone struggles at one time or another, counseling is one way to ask for help.

I have a deep passion for holistic health and seek to provide a safe space for my clients with unconditional support and encouragement. I enjoy working with adolescents (16 and up), college students, and young adults. I believe within each of these seasons having a safe space to process and work through some of life’s trials is important to living a wholehearted, self-aware life. This could include depression, anxiety, trauma, abuse, postpartum concerns, relationship difficulties, hard transitions, and feelings of shame/diminished self worth.

Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors.
Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.

What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
How much does therapy cost?
The cost of therapy depends on a number of variables, including location and the therapist’s experience and training. On average, a therapy session in the United States could cost between $100 and $200 or more. If you have insurance, the expense of mental health care is typically lower, but it varies based on your insurance plan details and whether you choose an in-network or out-of-network mental healthcare provider.
What are more affordable or low cost therapy solutions?
Many therapists offer sliding scale payments, usually on a limited number of slots, which consists in an agreement between the therapist and a client to pay a reduced rate. Therapists who provide such arrangements often consider the client's income or ability to pay, but the extent of the discount is ultimately at the therapist's discretion. Furthermore, while group therapy may have different goals and benefits compared to individual therapy, it can be a more affordable solution to address certain types of issues.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.
Are therapy sessions confidential?
Confidentiality is a crucial part of the therapeutic relationship. Therapists in the United States are bound by the regulations set out by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), which aims to protect sensitive health information. With very few exceptions, a therapist will only discuss their client with others when the client has given their written permission. The instances in which a therapist would be required to disclose personal information are: if a client poses a danger to themselves or others, if the therapist suspects the abuse of a child or an elderly or otherwise dependent adult, or if they are legally forced to by court order. These exceptions to the confidentiality agreement are usually discussed with a client before their first session.
