I believe in a collaborative approach to psychotherapy focusing on clients' current needs and goals. Together we work to solve troublesome situational or long-standing problems leading to living one's best life now. Using client-centered methods, we begin with each individual's unique point of view to address a range of problems such as depression/anxiety, life crisis/life stage, relationships, parenting, trauma resolution/post trauma (PTSD) and provide understanding. Relationship issues are often at the heart of the matter and the opportunity is provided here to focus and improve upon them in a safe and confidential setting.

Hi! I'm Mary Logan and my goal is for you to feel comfortable and welcome just as you are. We are able to build trust, connection, and motivation for change when we feel accepted rather than judged, and that is what I seek to achieve with you in our sessions together. I believe that each human has their own unique strengths, and I work to empower clients to find and utilize these inner resources while also connecting them to evidenced-based tools for growth. I am accepting new clients and offer play therapy, family and filial therapy, couples therapy, as well as individual therapy for adolescents and adults.

Deciding to get counseling is a brave step. It takes courage to risk being vulnerable with a stranger, but seeking an ally to help when you feel stuck or overwhelmed is a sign of mental health. As a counselor, I seek to form a partnership of equals with clients. I have been on both sides of the counseling relationship, and I know how powerful it can be to connect in a validating and supportive environment. I love counseling in part because I often learn as much from my clients as I have from being a client myself.

I offer a private and comfortable setting in my private practice for individuals, couples, or families who desire to find where in their lives they feel "stuck" and who want some help in moving forward as they try to create more meaningful lives. Over the past 20 years, I have had considerable experience working with relationship issues, grief issues, mental health concerns such as anxiety and depression, and adjustment issues. I also facilitated a parenting group for 14 years, though we have taken a break until Covid is no longer a challenge. Group work continues to be a strong interest of mine.

Intimacy/Sexual issues can be difficult to discuss and people are reluctant. In Fact, many people struggle with feelings of inadequacy/lack of fulfillment in relation to their sexual experience. Sexual dysfunctions affect both men and women. My desire is to help people struggling with sexual problems and to help people live a more fulfilled intimacy/sexual life. I provide a non-judgmental place for people to safely articulate their concerns. I will help you figure out what is causing these struggles work to resolve them.

Asking for help is difficult, sometimes overwhelming. Most people are touched by anxiety, depression, relationship issues and even addiction at some point in their lives, either within themselves or a family member. I create a safe, relaxing and inviting space for you to begin dealing with these difficult, but treatable issues. Many people, particularly men, are socialized to ignore or never discuss their innermost feelings and worries. College students often struggle with questions about whom they are and whom they want to become. Parents often feel powerless to help their children. Together, we can work toward achieving your goals.

Hello! My name is Alex Sprouse and I’m a licensed professional counselor and co-founder of Courage Counseling. When mental illness weighs on you, it is not only the heart and mind that suffer. Every aspect of your life, from the most menial daily task, to your physical health, to the wellbeing of your family and loved ones, becomes impacted and can feel too heavy a burden to carry alone. One of the ultimate goals of therapy is to learn the skills necessary to live your life to the fullest, on your own terms. As a therapist, my job is to support and empower you on your journey to attain this goal.

Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online or over the phone 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.
What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the United States, 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, 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.
