"How many therapists does it take to change a light bulb?"..."One, but the light bulb has to want to change!" My clients share a genuine desire for self-understanding and motivation for change. But my practice is truly diverse: adults of all ages, nationalities,ethnic backgrounds and sexual orientations. In addition to writers, performing and visual artists, I treat professionals, non-professionals, stay-at-home parents and retirees. I work with adult ADD and specialize in life transitions. I work best with clients who want a true therapeutic partner and an interactive approach.

As a compassionate and caring therapist/coach I collaborate with my clients to focus on positive self acceptance and creating positive changes in their lives. I work with clients to develop an understanding of their current life situations and feelings that are confusing and uncomfortable for them. We all find ourselves at different stages in our lives faced with old and new feelings and reactions to home, work, family and friends. I believe that through talking about feelings, clients can identify their obstacles to change and develop a better understanding of themselves.

I work with a diverse range of clientele including young adults, those with Serious and Persistent Mental Illnesses, eating disorders, anxiety, OCD, personality disorders, and LGBTQIA+ individuals. I’ve worked for many years with under-resourced populations in New York City which has shaped my worldview and approach to therapy. My work has taught me to be an optimist and I've witnessed first-hand incredible growth and resiliency in those with whom I've worked with. I typically take a more modern approach to therapy and am non-judgmental, supportive, direct, and genuine.

“My voice was taken away” is something I have heard many times. Individuals often go through difficult and painful experiences that leave them feeling hesitant to express themselves and use their voice. If this sounds like you, you may be feeling shutdown, trapped, choked, blocked, afraid to be seen and heard. This can feel scary, frustrating, and disempowering!

I work with people who feel stuck and tethered to old ways of being. I work in a flexible, broad based manner using strategies to help with immediate relief of symptoms and in a more open-ended way to help cultivate curiosity and interest in who you are and what you want from life. I believe therapy is about finding the freedom from within to make life more of what you want it to be.

I specialize in working with both individuals who are struggling with anxiety & looking to improve self esteem; as well as couples who have concerns about (or changes in) their sexual relationship. As a therapist, I often explore how the messaging we receive based on our social identities & upbringing influence the expectations we have of ourselves, relationships, mental health, sex, and self worth.

I work with people who want to cultivate real change in their lives, whether that's learning to manage depression or anxiety, getting along better with other people or their partners, or helping them accomplish that career goal they desire. I believe that establishing a good connection with my clients and creating manageable and growth-oriented goals can lead to lasting positive change.

Teens, young adults and their families have been through an incredible amount of stress the past few years - and continue to do so. I specialize in working with high school and college-age students as well as adults struggling with issues that affect them on a daily basis and which might prevent them from moving forward in their lives. This can include anxiety, depression, sadness and poor self-esteem. My work extends to parents seeking guidance in supporting their children with issues such as school refusal, friends, peer pressure and anger. This may include transitions to high school, college or post-college life.

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.
