I am a therapist for therapists specializing in complex trauma, existential anxiety, self-harm, and substance use. As a mental health professional, you may present as successful, but you might feel ashamed or unsettled in life. You might also experience fears about your capacity to support clients or manage your emotional well-being. You probably "know" the right coping skills and "have the insight" about what to do, but you're seeking deeper introspection and hoping to resolve deep inner conflicts. You're also open to engaging in a meaningful relationship where you can explore some of the more tender issues in life.

I am most passionate about working with individuals who are motivated to do therapeutic work; who are willing to explore themselves and take action toward desired change. I work well with individuals experiencing anxiety and low mood which may look like a lack of self-confidence; feeling stuck; sense of overwhelm; guilt; shame; disconnection from self and others; and sometimes a general longing for more joy and sense of purpose in day to day life. It can be challenging to balance all life’s conflicting obligations while also making sure not to lose sight of yourself.

Do traumatic experiences cause you worry, anxiety, and regret? Do they intrude on your relationships, sleep, and enjoyment of life? Perhaps you've become adept at pushing down the memories and the feelings. But it's getting more and more difficult. They show up anyway, like an uninvited guest.

Hi, my name is Dahlia, and I am a creative, holistic therapist that focuses on the whole person…not just the symptoms they come in with. I love exploring in depth what drives and motivates people, what holds people back, what inspires people, what moves people, and what makes them passionate in life. Together, we will explore and discover purpose and meaning, and work at finding ways of living and fulfilling that purpose. I use different ideas and practices, but mostly look at the person in front of me and see what resonates with them.

My approach allows clients the emotional space to examine situations without identifying as the problem themselves. This helps to create exploratory distance between the self and the parts holding shame or guilt, which allows us to collaboratively examine a situation, pattern or behavior, form a position of lesser judgment and amplified access to care and curiosity. Over the years, I have witnessed themes emerge amongst the clients that thrive in my practice. Often, these clients identify as highly attuned, driven and sometimes perfectionistic.

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.
