You always try to do the right thing, but somehow, people don't appreciate it. When you try to help, they might even blame you! You put your needs aside to take care of others, and no one is there to take care of you, but you don't say anything. Maybe you cry when no one is there. And then you put your smile back on and turn back into the person they need you to be. One day, it all gets to be too much, and you don't know what to do. So you come see me.

Anxiety and depression are two of the most common concerns around- if these kinds of things are affecting your ability to meet your personal goals or simply enjoy your life, you're not alone. I specialize in "treatments that work"- scientifically supported therapies for anxiety, depression, and related difficulties, including worry, panic, sleep problems, and difficulties with concentration and decision-making. In therapy, my clients work to develop or increase coping skills they can use long after treatment ends.

Intimate relationships could be difficult to maintain and understand. Sometimes we are left confused and hurt by the behaviors and words of others. Our responses to these unfortunate behaviors might create a negative reaction which could worsen the feelings of despair. Having a personal psychotherapist with whom to explore some of these problems could be very rewarding and healing. Finding assertive ways to express our emotions using a win/win approach might assist in the healing of those injuries. Anxiety, depression and interpersonal conflict could be minimized or eliminated with the appropriate interventions.

Life is complex and it can lead you to feel unbalanced, or disconnected from yourself and others. Do you find yourself questioning your self-worth or having difficulty creating healthy boundaries? Maybe you’re experiencing anxiety, depression, or processing difficult life events and changes. I understand that life can present its share of challenges due to the systems, communities, and families we live in and come from. I'm passionate about creating supportive, compassionate, and liberating spaces for people of color, women, and mothers during pregnancy and their motherhood journey.

Our unique human existence presents many challenges that invite opportunities for deep learning, healing, and transformation. When we open ourselves up to the lessons of our adversity rather than avoiding them, we unlock doors of new possibilities and new ways of being in relationships, in the world, and in relationship with ourselves. While temporarily painful, engaging with life’s challenges in this way can ultimately develop deeper inner resiliency, authenticity, and renewed vitality. I will help you cultivate deeper alignment between your values and true desires, and how you can embody them authentically in your life.

I am Eileen Beirich, PsyD, MFT. I encourage patients toward an acquired awareness and management of conflict out of attachment and self-regulation issues. Using dynamic family systems, I begin to review a patient's family of origin story about how life has been lived. I introduce an idea of looking at life's picture like it is a tapestry. A tapestry is constructed of many colored threads laid down next to each other to blend into a picture. Sometimes a person does not have a completed tapestry picture of life.

Are you looking for a therapist who is smart, compassionate and can help you navigate through the often painful aspects of relationship conflicts, grief, illness or challenging life transitions? Do you need help in sorting out and understanding the ways in which you get "stuck" in old patterns?
My aim is to help you better understand (and have more control over) those issues which may be negatively impacting your quality of life.
Such self-understanding can lead to expanded abilities to cope with all sorts of stress, overcome fear and can also improve self-esteem.

Do you feel like aspects of your life have been unconsciously avoided but are now seeping through cracks? As a second generation Filipina-American, I view therapy as an opportunity to create a new blueprint on how you want to live your most meaningful life. From navigating my own journey in mental health, I have learned to be grateful for my emotions and to move towards the uncomfortable. I believe building awareness and by simply being curious around the uncomfortable parts of your life may provide an emotional understanding that could help you feel reconnected to your self.

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.
