You know exactly what to do. You have read, researched, tried every diet or new "healthy lifestyle" change or workout program that promised results. Maybe you even do things perfectly all day long, but then, you find yourself elbows deep in the second row of the new pack of cookies you swore you would not touch because it's for your spouse/partner/coworkers/kids/etc. Then, the shame spiral hits and at least once you think to yourself "Eff it, I will try it again tomorrow" or worse "Welp, looks like I failed again". That's where I come in. As a licensed mental health counselor and a nutritionist, I create a tailored plan to help.

Develop confidence. Make decisions with ease. Achieve balance, and make a good life GREAT. Life is messy and being a person at any age can be difficult. We lose focus and become uncertain of ourselves and the world around us. Our imbalances lead to anxiety, depression, addiction, and conflict. I work with individuals at many stages in life and assist with those conflicts that arise such as peer relationships, developing self-concept/self-esteem, academic/career choices, and stressors that come with adulthood. I utilize traditional approaches and nature based therapies to help my clients create balance and achieve wholeness.

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.
What type of therapist is right for me?
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.
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 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.
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.
