We are living in a time of uncertainty and constant change which can add to an already stressful or challenging time in one’s life. You don’t have to struggle through difficult times alone. Therapy is a nonjudgmental, safe place to explore life’s challenges, to gain understanding and self-acceptance in order to make changes and enhance your lifelong well-being. If you have been feeling overwhelmed, depressed, anxious for a period of time, or if you find yourself isolating from family/friends and using ineffective coping skills, this may be a sign you need help to move on.

Whether the distress you are experiencing emanates from internal or external factors, psychotherapy can help. In my many years of practice, it has been my privilege to work hand in hand with my patients to find new pathways of understanding and new options for moving forward. Reaching out for some assistance is not a sign of weakness but rather of courage - the courage to face what is troubling and to take the sometimes difficult steps to regroup.

I believe therapy is a collaborative process, and I consider the quality and the nature of the therapeutic alliance to be one of the most important aspects of therapy. Through motivational interviewing and by using the strengths perspectives model, I will assist patients into establishing new perspectives, improving self-awareness, and utilizing personal strengths to create more meaningful life experiences. I also believe therapy is not a “one size fits all” model, which is why I tailor my approach by using various therapeutic modalities specifically designed for each client.

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.
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.
