—I am currently only accepting new LGBTQ clients at Encircle.— Do you want a cool therapist like the ones you see on TikTok, but who actually has the education/training to help you with your concerns? I truly care about my clients & thus challenge them to grow into their full potential. I believe we start by generating a strong therapeutic relationship that builds the foundation for us to do the hard work together. Then we will begin to identify learned patterns of thinking and behaving that aren't serving you anymore, and try out new ways of thinking and being that align better with your values and the person you want to become.

Therapy can be a transformative journey of self-discovery and healing, where every step forward is a testament to your courage, resilience, and inner strength.

Upholding a belief in the utmost respect, sensitivity, and compassion for all, irrespective of their background, is fundamental to my practice.

Hi there, I'm a child therapist. If you're worried about your child because they are suddenly full of tears (or full of rage), let's work together. You're likely the first to notice a shift in your child. Maybe they seem out of control, the parenting skills you've used up to this point aren't working anymore. Families I work with are struggling at school drop offs or can't stand another yelling match with their teen. If your family has changed, because of divorce, a move, a death, I'd love to partner with you and provide support and direct guidance to return your home to a peaceful place again.

I work from a strengths-based, client-centered perspective. I believe that people have a healthy drive toward wellness, but the trials of life often lead them down paths that are counterproductive and even self defeating. A good therapist can help people rediscover joy in their lives and their relationships, as well as re-establish a healthy and strong sense of self. It is gratifying to see people rediscover their unique strengths and uncover new-found capacities to survive and thrive in the face of life's many challenges. With a therapist's caring support, new possibilities become a reality.

I specialize in working with trans clients, especially teenagers. I am a trans man and am able to understand the nuances of gender identity that many cisgender therapists may miss. I typically approach therapy through the lenses of narrative therapy and attachment-based family therapy. My goal is to help clients feel a strong sense of self and connection.

My approach to therapy is empathic, collaborative, and unique to each individual's own needs. I believe the most important component of effective counseling is a genuine relational connection. I strive to create a therapeutic environment in which clients feel comfortable, respected, supported, and understood so that they may actively explore personal issues and experiment with new ways of thinking and behaving. Too often we spend our lives living either in the past or in the future, and consequently struggling with feelings of depression or anxiety.

Hygge (whoo-ga) is my personal and professional approach to life; comfortable, cozy, content. It's a Danish practice that makes long winters more tolerable by investing in a support system, indulging the senses and intentionally moving toward that which makes the soul feel calm. I'd love to support you through your emotional winters and find ways to endure the cold with increased awareness and executive functioning.

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.
