Within each session, there lies a story, an image, a horde of stories and images that infiltrate and energize our Waking and Dreaming Lives. With deep kindness, patient curiosity, and an artist’s heart, we can work together to speak these stories, to personify these clusters of energies and symptoms into forms and narratives less medical and much more Mythic. Through creativity, we can change our relationships with those inner forces, we can stop feeling our inner selves as “disordered” or “sick” and begin to glimpse and touch the unfathomable depths and riches buried just below the surface of our experiences.

Do you wake up in the morning disappointed that you have to live the same life you've been living? I know I have. My name is Holly and I've been battling chronic pain and an autoimmune disease for much of my adult life, and I get it.

Battling insurance companies for treatment you need just to feel a bit better every day. My clients enjoy working with me because I get it in ways no one else can, unless you've lived it yourself.

You have been through a lot — abuse, family dysfunction, marital challenges, grief, abandonment. A lot of the time, you feel like you’re holding it together and fulfilling your responsibilities. But there are moments when it feels like you might come crashing down — you find yourself yelling at or completely shutting off from people you care about. Or you experience waves of emotions like sadness that seem to come out of nowhere. Maybe it’s challenging to have close relationships. The ways that you developed to cope with hardship are getting in the way of your life now — you want to feel capable of handling situations intentionally.

Maybe you are dealing with grieving a significant loss, anxiety and depression, adjusting to become a parent, struggle with belonging, or just feel stuck and know that you are ready to do something about it. Just as we require food and rest, we also require intentional time for ourselves. Being deeply seen and heard fortifies our courage to live as we want to live, and love as we want to be loved. Being understood is an investment we make in ourselves. I work to build the sense of trust needed for such vulnerable work and have a thoughtful style of care.

Rachael has been interested in mental health since she can remember. Growing up, this manifested itself into her being a nosy kiddo :). However, as she aged she turned that "nosiness" into a passion, an education, and a career. Rachael is excited about the relief and clarity offered in working through a therapeutic process. Being a Christian, Rachael is also sure that God cares deeply about the wholeness of His people.

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.
