You’re not sure how it happened, but you and your partner have grown apart. You’re tired of the endless arguments over seemingly nothing. You are tired of feeling alone in your relationship. Or, maybe the change you want in your life isn’t about a relationship at all. You’ve been doing things the same way for so long and you’re tired. You find yourself asking if life has to be this hard; why the way you’ve always coped with things before isn’t working any longer. You know you need a change, but you’re not sure where to start. Maybe you have wounds and trauma in your past that you’re not sure how to heal from.

We all desire to be loved and accepted, to feel safe and secure, to achieve our goals and fulfill our purpose, and to like who we see in the mirror. Unfortunately, life has a way of placing obstacles on our path that can potentially impair our ability to function at our greatest level. For some of us, these events are so painful that all hope seems to be lost. In order for healing to begin, we need a safe and supportive environment where our thoughts and feelings are validated, where we are able to process and heal from painful experiences, and where we are able to identify our most important needs and meet them in healthy ways.

Maybe you're worn out from feeling triggered in everyday situations, isolated from friends who can’t understand, or burdened with guilt or shame over what happened to you or around you.

You’re ready to have friendships and relationships without your past getting in the way. You’re ready to get up each day with a sense of purpose. Most importantly, you’re ready to like who you are again. You're ready to feel hope for the future.

Are you tired of therapists who just sit there in silence, offering no real feedback? That’s not my style. Maybe therapy feels like something you shouldn’t need, but you’re exhausted from venting to friends and feeling like a burden. The usual coping skills aren’t working anymore, and deep down, you know something has to change. You want relief, clarity, and peace but you’re not sure how to get there. Whether therapy is new to you or you've tried before and felt it didn’t help, I get it. As a Christian therapist, I believe God is at the center of transformation, and I’m here to walk with you. You don’t have to figure this out alone.

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.
