You appear calm and capable on the outside—yet underneath, you often feel anxious, overwhelmed, or disconnected. If you're tired of carrying it all alone and are ready to reconnect with your inner self, I’d be honored to walk with you.

I firmly believe that while we can experience feelings and emotions, they don’t have to define us. How we handle these challenging moments often determines our success and inner peace. When you feel stuck and unable to see your options clearly, an outside perspective can be invaluable. Together, we can rewrite your story and forge new paths that suit you. In essence, we will work together to help you become the main character of your narrative once more.

Body psychotherapy—Everyone’s healing journey is different and personal, deeply rooted in your own experiences and desires. You may want to improve your capacity for healthy relationships, or you're struggling with depression or anxiety. Working with the body directly shifts ingrained beliefs shaped by early, formative experiences—unconscious patterns that may be holding you back from reaching your goals. These patterns are often difficult to access without paying attention to the body, but within the safety of therapy, they can be explored and changed somatically.

Whatever your unique experience is that brought you to seek therapy, I know it has taken multiple attempts and a whole lot of courage. We all desire to be seen and affirmed in our journey to uncover our authentic self(s). It may feel as if there just isn't enough room to allow your whole self to show up, and this creates anxiety and/or depression. Regardless if we are aware of the negative external messages we get, some still seem to find their way into our internal world, and it takes work, support, and self-compassion to confront those messages.

The problems we experience, and the context in which we experience them, can make it seem as if we are defective, as if there is something fundamentally wrong with who we are. Problems can saturate our lives until we think we've been robbed of the power to change. This is not so! We can change our relationship to our problems, through our own strengths and unique knowledge. Eitan is trained in Narrative Therapy, a collaborative approach that separates "the problem" from the person experiencing this problem, and which seeks to help people tell new stories about their lives.

I believe that as human beings, we are always growing and evolving. Change—whether expected or not—can bring uncertainty, stir up past wounds, and challenge our ability to adapt, especially when it feels like the world is moving at a different pace than we are. In these moments, reaching out for help can feel overwhelming, which is why I want to acknowledge the courage it takes to be here. Seeking support is a powerful first step toward healing and growth. My decision to become a therapist stems from my own journey through life’s transitions, as well as my deep, innate passion for helping others navigate their own challenges.

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.
