Sometimes it feels like our emotions have a tight grip on us, trapping us in cycles of unwanted behaviors and holding us back from living the life we want. Other times, we’re caught up in our heads, stuck in repetitive thoughts about what should have been or what needs to be. Whether you’re feeling anxious, lonely, or overwhelmed, therapy can help you to harness your natural resilience, develop coping skills, and heighten your self-understanding. We all are capable of tremendous growth, and my goal is to be there with you while you confront your fears, deepen relationships, and build a life that aligns with your values.

You’re pulled in so many different directions, you feel like there’s no real space for you. Maybe the “what if” scenarios swirling in your mind make it hard to enjoy life, or the onslaught of negative self-talk from an overactive inner critic leaves you drowning in self doubt. Maybe you can’t seem to shake something that happened in your past, or there are intergenerational patterns you’re struggling to break free from. If any of these are true for you & you’re ready to make a change, let’s talk! I provide a culturally compassionate space where you can put down the expectations you’ve been carrying & take some time to be you again.

Thought Shift Therapy is a private practice founded by Cleopatra Zhonga, that focuses on challenging the cognitive distortions that create and maintain negative emotions and behaviors. By focusing on language, unhelpful learned behaviors, and negative worldviews adopted from adverse experiences, clients are able to reframe their ideologies and create new purpose.

Choosing to enter therapy offers the possibilities of growth, change, and an increased active involvement in one’s life. My approach to therapy is to engage with patients beginning with the interests and concerns that prompt them to enter therapy. We can focus on issues that are immediately present, and also seek an understanding of underlying patterns of behaviors, beliefs, thoughts, and feelings.

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.
