Hi, I'm Audrey! Are you a young adult (18-30ish) living in Massachusetts, Colorado, or Maine who is going through some major life changes? Maybe these changes are starting or finishing college, finding your first "big kid" job, or going through a relationship transition. Or, maybe things are stable, but still not what you want! You're feeling worried, anxious, or depressed. It's super hard, but you don't have to do it alone. If you're nodding your head or thinking "that's me!", we might be a good fit.

My ideal client is a person who feels they need someone to hear their problems and truly seek to understand without immediately offering advice. Most people know what they need to do, they just need someone to help structure their thinking and plans. Perhaps offer some practical skills and ideas once trust is established.
Just remember recovery from addiction is not linear. Having the support of a person with nine years clean from drug addiction, 7 years of clinical experience, relatable, down to earth, easy going and safe, makes the roller-coaster of early recovery far more tolerable. That describes me.

Having walked the path of recovery myself, I get how tough—and rewarding—getting sober from drugs and alcohol can be. I've dedicated my life to helping others navigate their own journeys, just like I was supported when I needed it. There’s nothing more fulfilling than seeing someone rebuild their life and find their strength again.

Welcome! I work with a diverse age range of adults through individual therapy. Much of what I do is to help people recognize and accept their emotions, set effective boundaries, build capacity for empathy and perspective-taking, and gain insight around their relationship dynamics and identities. My approach often focuses on the influences of systems of power & control in our lives and relationships, which I find to be deeply intertwined with our experiences of mental health.

I have experience in working with clients with a range of diagnoses, including depression, anxiety, and PTSD. I have an interest in working with adult clients navigating the responsibilities of adulthood while living with mental health struggles. I have worked extensively with adult female clients in particular who have found themselves cast in the role of caretaker. These clients are often managing their own mental health while taking on more than their share of responsibilities. I work with clients who want to achieve balance in their lives, a better understanding of the self, and alleviate their symptoms.

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.
