Paying cash/credit/debit has its advantages and we can talk about that. I have chosen to be an out-of-network practitioner because insurance carriers create too many barriers for payment to the provider. I will provide you a superbill/invoice for you to get reimbursed by your insurance carrier if they offer reimbursement. It is advised you check with the insurance carrier policy on this first.

This potential group is for those providing caregiving to spouses or parents with Alzheimer's and other dementias, Parkinson's, Lewy Body, etc. We'll focus on practical and especially emotional needs, the good (some dark humor among friends never hurt, after all), the bad (there's a lot), and the ugly (sadly, there's this too). This group will provide community and understanding from others who get it. The focus will be on sharing, support, self-nurture, and coping strategies rather than advice.

My clients are individuals navigating separation, divorce, or the unraveling of a long-term relationship. Some are still finding their footing, others are beginning to rebuild—but all are asking: “How do I cope?” This group is a space for real talk and real emotion. We share openly the grief, anger, relief, hope, confusion. There’s no pressure to “move on.” Just space to move through it together. We’ll explore the uncertain in-between, the quiet beginnings of something new, and the steady strength that returns when you realize you're not walking this alone.

Adults Support Groups
Why should adults see a therapist?
Adults may benefit from therapy for a wide range of reasons—whether it’s managing symptoms of a diagnosed mental health condition like anxiety or depression, navigating life transitions, coping with grief or trauma, or simply seeking support during a challenging life period. Many adults find that therapy helps them build healthier coping skills and better process their emotions, which may lead to better relationships and reduced stress. It’s important to note that, unlike psychiatrists or primary care physicians, therapists do not prescribe psychiatric medication. However, they will often work alongside prescribing clinicians to ensure coordinated care and can provide behavioral therapy as an important addition to psychiatric medication. Mental health concerns can look different in adulthood than in childhood or adolescence, so finding a therapist with expertise working with adult clients is important. Conditions like major depressive disorder (MDD), generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), bipolar disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), for instance, may present or resurface differently in adulthood than in childhood or adolescence. Adult-specific stressors, such as job strain, caregiving responsibilities, relationship challenges, financial stress, or identity transitions, can also influence the onset and type of symptoms an individual experiences. Adult-focused therapists, therefore, are trained to understand these complexities and tailor care accordingly.

How do I know if a therapist is the right fit for me?
When seeking care, it’s important to understand a therapist’s treatment specialties and their overall approach to treatment . Some therapists focus on common adult conditions like anxiety or depression, while others specialize in areas such as trauma, substance use disorders, or obsessive-compulsive disorder. It’s also important to consider a therapist’s training when seeking care. Therapists hold various licenses depending on their training and state requirements. Common therapy credentials include Licensed Clinical Social Workers (LCSWs), Licensed Mental Health Counselors (LMHCs), Licensed Professional Counselors (LPCs), and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists (LMFTs). Psychologists (PhD or PsyD) receive additional doctoral-level training and may focus on assessments or more specialized therapeutic approaches. All of these professionals can provide talk therapy but do not prescribe medication. When searching for a therapist, consider their credentials and training background to ensure a good fit.

How do I find a therapist who sees adults?
Psychology Today’s online directory allows you to search specifically for therapists who work with adults. Each provider profile includes key information such as clinical specialties, therapeutic approaches, licensure, accepted insurance plans, languages spoken, and session fees. Reviewing these details can help you determine whether a particular provider aligns with your needs and can indicate whether they are a good match for adult clients.
