In hate writing this ALMOST as much as you hate reading this. Most of us clinicians here are saying the exact same thing, and most of it doesn't mean much. Finding a therapist is about being comfortable while sitting in the same room. So rather than bore you with the same ole things as everyone else, here are some facts about me. I began to go gray at 15 yrs old. Dogs tend to love me and I sometimes wish I was a therapist for them. I love 90's Contemporary Christian Christmas music and don't care if you judge me about it. I am a pilot. I love woodworking but most of the things I have made break.

In one or more dimensions of your life, something feels off. How can things get better? Your hobbies and passions bring less joy than before. There are fears of too much screen time, plummeting self-esteem, and frustration when there isn't some quick fix. Social media and our viral world have created more challenges for adolescents, young adults, and their caretakers. What was built to serve and make life more connected is doing the opposite. It is becoming more of a dependency. Life is different than it used to be, and you wonder how you can reach those you love. You reading this is a sign that things are changing on your end.

My ideal client is frustrated, angry, in despair. Life hasn’t worked out the way it was supposed to. (S)he lost herself somewhere long ago, left herself behind. Relationships are hard; those recurring patterns and reactive behavior keep interfering with connection, and self-esteem, and contentment, and vitality, and... A malaise has settled, along with a darkness. This inevitably leads to anxiety, depression, isolation, addiction, and despair. My clients know there must be more. But, where to begin? How to start?

Grief. Though rarely sought out is a capacity as necessary to our emotional and communal well-being as the ability to love. It is above all a human process. Grief is not meant to be endured in isolation. And intentional, conscious grieving is a skill that many of us must learn. Providing support and guidance in this process is both an honor and a calling and something which continues to inspire me towards a greater learning. I work with both those who are dying and those who have lost someone or something they have loved. Wherever you are in this most difficult of experiences, I am honored to provide guidance and support.

I work with individuals, couples, and families, both in person and online. While we will create specific, therapeutic goals that are unique to your situation, my hope is that working together will ultimately support you in feeling more clear, authentic, connected, alive, and at peace. Our time together will start by building connection and trust; a safe environment to explore and identify unhelpful patterns. From there, we will collaborate and explore new ways of responding, thinking, and engaging. The nature of this work together is often steeped in vulnerability and can require courage.

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.
