To get to know oneself can be challenging, joyful, scary and even surprising. Yet the work pays off by enabling us to create rich, intentional and meaningful lives.
In our sessions, I will help you learn more about yourself by bringing thoughtful attention to the patterns of your life. Through an empathetic and curious approach, together we can create a space to explore and make meaningful change in your life. Our world keeps us so busy that we often don't have time to connect with ourselves.

With compassion and an open heart and mind, I invite you on a journey of self-discovery and healing. Using a holistic approach to wellness, we will assess all areas of your life - mind, body, heart, spirit - and determine if these feel integrated and fulfilling and reflect your true nature. While exploring, honoring, and releasing patterns that no longer serve and treating unresolved trauma, you will naturally reconnect with your true self and life will begin to unfold in the most beautiful ways.

We all feel stuck or anxious or hopeless sometimes, but when the feelings take over your life, you might have unresolved trauma. Trauma involves system overwhelm - something that was too much, too fast, or that happened when you were too young to cope. Left unaddressed, it undermines your sense of safety and wellbeing and hijacks your nervous system. Talk therapies address the story-telling mind, but we need to work with trauma where it lives: in the body, outside of conscious awareness. If you've tried traditional therapy and it only got you so far, this might be why.

“There are a lot of therapists out there! How do I find a good fit?” Good question. I have a somewhat different approach that I introduce in a short video. You can find it on my website: coreybusch.com (or there's a link on my profile). Here’s a summary of the video: "Many people reach out to me because they don’t want to do traditional talk therapy. They are looking to do a therapy method that will get to the root of the problem and lead to long-term change. Great, that’s exactly what I do."

My style is supportive, warm, playful and experiential. We can address attachment difficulties, emotional and behavioral regulation, stress, anxiety, depression, grief and trauma.

My primary goal is to help people feel effective in managing their mental health and building a life congruent with their values and goals. People come to me because they are feeling stuck and want a therapy that is active and brings about change in their daily lives and their functioning. They are struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, or personality patterns that are not serving them. I assist people in clearly defining their mental health problems and applying effective treatments. I help clients develop a clear idea of what to practice between sessions in order to meet therapy goals and grow beyond identified problems.

You may be looking through therapist profiles because something in your life is not feeling quite right or you have the sense that life can be better. It can be. We all have wisdom within us and a potential to change directions when the path we’re on is no longer working for us. I work with individual adults who are struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship and life transitions, grief and loss, and those recovering from traumatic experiences. My goal is to help you identify what is important to you, to look at patterns, to make sense of what’s not working (and what is) and ultimately, to help you live a richer life.

Is your child struggling and you don't know how best to help? Perhaps with school, with completing tasks, with friends, or with how they feel about themselves?

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.
