Therapy is about facilitating conversations to help someone build self-awareness and healthier relationships with oneself and others. The experience of watching an individual grow beyond their current mindset of sadness, depression, feelings of hopelessness to unworthiness into an individual who truly knows and believes in their personal value is why I love therapy. To make you as comfortable as possible, we can also meet in your home. I have found that providing services in the home, when appropriate, can break down barriers and allow your natural environment to play a role in the healing process.

As human beings, our natural tendency is to want to avoid emotions, experiences, people, and situations that are unpleasant and painful. The difficulty is that true emotional healing often comes from addressing the areas we most want to run away from. You don't have to be defined by your upbringing, childhood, past or current traumas, abuse, or insecurities. Those do not have to be the end of your story nor does it have to weigh you down forever. Through addressing such hardships and relational wounds in therapy we can work together towards lessening your emotional pain and reducing its control over your life.

Take a deep breath, grab a cup of coffee or tea and let's chat. Put the "what if" worries on pause for a minute...maybe that's why you're here. Your mind won't rest. You have lists of tasks that need attention, but overthinking and procrastination interfere with that. You have to appear to "have it all together" because perfection is the only option. Fear consumes you; fear of letting others down and losing relationships, fear of failure, fear that you'll never be good enough.

We ALL have some attention deficit, anxiety, depression, learning, and autism spectrum disorder characteristics that interfere at times. Private psychological testing helps us know when these behaviors or feelings are beyond what is age expected and how it may hinder success. Individual therapy helps us learn to minimize the negatives, feel confident and be happy.

You haven't felt like yourself lately. In fact, you might not even know what feeling like “yourself” would even feel like. Maybe you have even thought “I should enjoy being a parent, but I don’t love every moment. What is wrong with me?” You wonder if you are experiencing postpartum depression or anxiety. Your relationship with your spouse has taken a toll and you feel disconnected, are arguing all the time, and feel like two ships passing in the night. You yearn for a deeper connection and to feel the passion you once had for one another. Mostly, you want relief or a sense of hope. But you’re not sure where to start.

To navigate between locations within the same country, enter a new city or zip code into the search bar.

Learn more about how to find a therapist.

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.
