Hi there! I'm Cari Collins, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a desire to support individuals and families in navigating life's complexities and challenges. Beginning therapy often feels daunting due to the nature of confronting difficult emotions and the fear of being judged. I have personally been on the other side of the couch, and I aim to destigmatize therapy by normalizing the conversation around mental health. In 2017, I graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Madison (Go Badgers!) with a Master's degree in Social Work and am currently practicing as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker

Hello, I'm Lorrie. The way we respond to challenges is all about perspective, and I believe that reconnecting with yourself is an important place to start. Life can become a maze of work, family, and obligations, making it easy to lose yourself and difficult to find your way back. I work with many people who are experiencing anxiety, sadness, stress, and feeling overwhelmed with life, jobs, relationships, and social connections. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I know how important it is to feel heard and to have someone say, 'I hear you, and I understand where you are coming from.'

Hi there, my name is Cheri Slaughter and I am a licensed clinical social worker here in Colorado and Arizona. We face challenges every day, and if there are unknown triggers holding you to past patterns that are not working, or to unfair judgments about yourself, there could be an invisible barrier to living your best life. My unique background includes an undergraduate degree in biology that I used for early careers in a clinical laboratory, tissue donation, and as a coroner investigator.

Hello, I'm Mark. As we start our journey at the bottom of the mountain, we must understand there are several paths to the top. All of these paths have the potential to lead you to the summit, where you can find the view you've been looking for. You're going to choose your path, just as with many things in life. I will walk alongside you as we ascend the mountain, meeting daily goals along the way. As we move forward, we'll process the roots, rocks, caves, and canyons we traverse. Why do you keep tripping over them, and why are they holding you back?

Here at AAI, we use licensed therapists and certified canines. Dogs respond with a unique insight into exactly who we are in the moment. They are gifted reflectors of our true selves because their very survival depends on reading us accurately but without judgment. Because they can read and respond to the nonverbal message we are always sending, they begin to act in ways that feel familiar to other relationships or dynamics of our lives. However, if you have allergies or are not a fan of the fur babies, any and all services can be provided "animal-free".

Hello, I'm Maigan. In 2004, with a 4-year-old and a husband in the Fire Academy, both of us working full-time, I decided it was time to pursue my dream of entering behavioral health and obtaining my Master’s degree. Like many others in this field, I was on a personal journey of self-discovery, trying to make sense of 'Why am I the way I am?' Shortly after deciding to continue my education, I discovered I was pregnant. When my daughter was only 4 months old, I reluctantly left her with a babysitter to begin interning at a local Community Mental Health Center in Florida. A month later, I was hired as a paid employee.

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.
