You feel like your partner just doesn't get it - like they don't understand you. During conflict, one of you shuts down and the other gets louder, which leaves you with a sense of, "this always happens." It's exhausting. Your sex life is also strained and feels stuck.

There are times when anxiety hits out of the blue—your heart races, your chest feels tight, and you’re left feeling overwhelmed. These moments are often tied to old wounds or past trauma that hasn’t fully healed. It can feel scary to face those emotions, but you don’t have to go through it on your own. Healing is a process, and with the right support, you can start letting go of the weight from your past. Together, we’ll work through it, so you can find peace and feel more like yourself again. Let's take that first step forward.

Maybe you've just experienced a deep loss or a traumatic event that's left you questioning everything - including your sanity. Or maybe the pain you've kept tucked away for years is finally bubbling up. You might be a helping professional, worn down by what you see every day. Maybe it's a chronic struggle with anxiety, where you feel you've tried everything but haven't found the right fit. My goal is to help you build the tools to face whatever challenges arise—past, present, or future. Life will keep bringing hard things, but I want you to leave our sessions feeling confident to navigate them in your own way.

You’re exhausted with trying to live up to everyone's standards. Your partner, your kids, your parents, your work. You feel like you can't get it right and you're just trying to keep it all together. You want to show up better for yourself and your family, but lately just getting through the day is a win. Your inner critic is loud and overpowering, pointing out flaws in yourself every day. You find yourself getting snippy with your family and playing back past frustrations in your head over and over again. You want to be your best for everyone but most days you’re too exhausted. You crave a sense of peace and rest.

Life can feel overwhelming when concerns like anxiety, trauma, grief, or major life transitions dominating your life or when you are struggling with self-doubt, navigating the pain of loss, or feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve you. Perhaps, as someone from a multicultural and diverse background, you’re caught between different worlds, trying to balance expectations while searching for your own identity. You want to feel understood, find relief from emotional pain, and regain a sense of control—but it’s hard to know where to start or when to reach out to a professional for help.

What if you didn’t have to carry it all alone? The overthinking, the constant pressure to keep it together, and the mental exhaustion from masking how overwhelmed you feel, it’s a lot. Anxiety, ADHD, and major life transitions can leave you feeling lost, emotionally drained, and stuck in a cycle of burnout. For women, millennials, and LGBTQIA+ individuals, the weight of expectations can feel impossible to manage. You’re not broken; you’re doing your best with what you’ve had. Now it’s time for support that actually sees you, hears you, and helps you heal.

Life can feel overwhelming. One minute it's your job, then your relationship, next the kid(s), your family, and maybe even painful memories from your childhood. You just can't seem to catch a break. You try everything to get on the right track, but something always seems to get in the way. You've tried so hard to climb out of the worry, frustration and sadness; but eventually it's just exhausting. Should you give up? Or maybe just do the bare minimum to get by. You don't know which way to turn.

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.
