My goal is to help people get better, heal, grow, and change. I believe about 1/3 of clients seeking help want help and are motivated to do the work to get better. I believe that 1/3 of clients say they want help but are not motivated and don't do the work necessary to get better while the other 1/3 come for counseling only at the insistence of someone else. I see my job as helping clients to see which group they fall in while respecting those who don't want/choose help.

I believe, and the research clearly indicates, that the bond you form with your therapist is the biggest predictor of positive outcomes. I therefore place a high emphasis on establishing a warm, safe environment for our relationship to grow. I like to understand therapy as a shared endeavor at pattern finding. If we can understand the personal and interpersonal patterns that contribute to your difficulties, we can address the root causes of those challenges and open up new ways of experiencing yourself and others.

Life is unpredictable. As hard as we try to manage our daily lives and our relationships with friends, family, and colleagues, circumstances beyond our control can make us feel lost and isolated, sometimes hopeless. That's why we all occasionally need guidance: to see that there is always hope on the other side of adversity.
My name is Ann Horton, and I specialize in therapies that can help you resolve the personal issues that detract from the joy of your day-to-day life, whether they're born of recent misfortune or deeply rooted trauma.

Problematic behaviors evolve as a way to cope with a situation or attempt to solve a problem. While these behaviors might provide temporary relief, they often are not effective in the long-term. DBT skills training is a weekly group, run like a class, which teaches new coping skills across four main topics: Mindfulness, Interpersonal Effectiveness, Emotion Regulation, and Distress Tolerance.. Participants are assigned weekly homework in which they practice the skills taught during the weekly lesson.

Therapy represents an investment in multiple areas of your life and well-being. We all need support at times and you may be looking for an additional resource in your life to help you process lived experiences, problem-solve, or understand yourself in a deeper way. You may be struggling with anxiety, stress and burnout, relationship challenges, or working through grief, loss, and/or bereavement. Life transitions can bring about new stressors which require new and different coping skills. You want to feel grounded again and regain clarity of purpose in your personal and/or professional life.

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.
