I'm not where I want or need to be. Where do I even begin? I seem to be the only one that struggles. Why can't I fit in? Maybe I just need to try harder or maybe I'll just numb out to it all. If you are in this place, I get it as I've been there. I thought I could find my own peace through making others happy or simply choosing to ignore the anxiety, sadness and despair around me. Fortunately, there are multiple paths to finding what you are looking for - all that is required is a willingness to open yourself up to the counseling process. You've already taken a huge step forward by finding your way to this page - there is hope.

Do you carry the mental load for your entire family? Do you find yourself pushing yourself past your limits, because if you don’t do it, who will? Do you feel numb inside but you keep going? Do you find yourself wishing that there was a planner, home organizer, exercise class, or skincare product that would fix everything? Do you feel like self-care is one more thing you’re failing at? The self-care we are sold won’t fulfill our need for connection, belonging, nurturing, fun, and wholeness. True self-care begins when we begin to look at what is going on under the surface of our burnout.

Online in Tennessee & Georgia. You've been in a cycle of toxic relationships that make you feel crazy and not good enough. You're a people pleaser and a perfectionist. You worry about everyone else's feelings but your own. You wonder, "am I the narcissist?" Maybe you've tried to set boundaries with a parent, but still feel misunderstood, criticized, or invalidated. You believe your childhood was difficult but then rationalize that it "wasn't that bad." You won't call it trauma or abuse but then what was it?

Has someone you loved died? Is it difficult to navigate without them? Has it left you questioning your beliefs? Others may not understand how deeply this loss impacts you. Maybe you think you should be over it by now. Perhaps you feel that you don't have time or permission to grieve. Often, those who are experiencing grief feel immobilized, struggle to complete day-to-day tasks, and fear the future. Sometimes, we have trouble feeling anything at all. Frequently, we may feel alone, isolated with our loss. As a survivor myself, I can relate. Grief can feel as if your entire world has shattered. I can help you pick up the pieces.

As a perinatal therapist and women's support specialist, I work with women who are navigating journeys of motherhood. Are you a woman trying to conceive, a pregnant person, or a new mother? While parenthood is supposed to be a happy time in your life, it may not always feel this way. Along with the joy that accompanies pregnancy and the birth of a new baby, there are also stressful experiences that generate anxiety and pervasive feelings of incompetence and loneliness. With expert guidance, empathy, and understanding, I help you to find balance while maintaining your sense of self and identity.

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.
