My ideal client would come to therapy ready to engage in the process. The process is not always fun, not quick or easy, but worth the journey in the end. Their issues would be addressed during the journey and goals met, along with an enlightened sense of self and purpose. They would want to get better for themselves but need the help and encouragement of another to guide them to where they have never been able to go before or sustain. They would be accepting of direct feedback and measurable goals to complete a treatment plan in an effective and expediated timetable.

As one of the most complex structures known to exist, the inner workings of the human brain continues to be something that, collectively, we know little about. One thing we do know is that our brains function to protect us from unpleasant features of human experience such as discomfort, pain, and trauma. But sometimes, when the brain is doing everything in its power to protect us from these unpleasant experiences, it may feel as though our minds are working against us, rather than with us. I strive to help clients form a healthier relationship with their own minds, in the pursuit of living their happiest and most fulfilling lives.

As a therapist, I strive to "hold space" with clients. Holding space for another person is incredibly profound bringing your entire presence to them. You walk along with them without judgment, willing to end up wherever they need to go by giving the energy of our attention to the pain and struggle of another human being. As a ally to a variety of communities, I make it a priority to learn about the complexities and intersections of a persons identity; to honor each person's journey and recognize the privileges I have in sharing such a vulnerable space.

Helping families, and children, in particular, has always been the best fit for me. Throughout my career, I have worked with a range of people, but children are my specialty, and it’s because I see so much hope in them. Kids have endless potential to grow and succeed, and I want to help nurture that because they are our future. As adults, we can get set in our ways, but children have flexible thinking, and that’s really fun to work with. I’m a nonjudgmental, steady and supportive child advocate, and I hold confidentiality in high regard. I take information and try to give my patients possible alternatives to help them feel better.

Life is not fair and can be overwhelmingly challenging. Some of us have learned this in very difficult or traumatic ways, and many of us bear the wounds and scars of broken or dysfunctional marriages, families, or abuse. No one is immune to feeling overwhelmed, alone, unloved, or rejected, having thoughts we cannot control, or being unable to stop behaviors we know hurt us and those we love. We also know deep down this is not how it is supposed to be. Those who seek help through therapy are the most courageous people I know.

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.
