Hi, I’m Elle! I’m so glad you’re here and considering taking this step toward healing. I work with individuals who are carrying unresolved trauma and experiencing the impact of PTSD or complex PTSD. Many of my clients come to me feeling stuck in patterns that affect their relationships, weighed down by emotions that feel too big for the moment, or living with a constant sense of unease. Together, we focus on reprocessing the root trauma, reshaping how they view themselves, learning to regulate nervous system responses (fight, flight, freeze, and fawn), and building confidence in recognizing and navigating their triggers.

Do you feel like things are not the same in your relationship anymore? Perhaps it is the stress, the conflicting schedules, the constant feeling of tiredness, or the difficulty in communicating. You still remember the days when you felt truly connected and happy, but you are unsure what changed. Seeking help feels scary, and you are not sure where to start.

You’ve always been the one others turn to, but who checks on you? You’re the mentor, the fixer, the one who makes it look easy. But lately, it’s been harder to push through. You’re exhausted, disconnected, and wondering if this is all there is. You’ve done therapy before, but maybe now you're wondering if you're ready for the advanced coursework. You’re ready to go deeper — to explore the family dynamics, relationship patterns, cultural pressures, and the ways you've had to keep going, even when it was falling apart behind the scenes. Let's turn down the volume on what everyone else needs and finally turn up the volume on you!

You can’t help but ask "God! Where are you?!" You feel stuck in a cycle of repeating unhealthy patterns, in your career, in your relationships, but you can’t break free. You’re settling, but you don't know why. You even question whether you can call on God at all because you’ve been told to "just pray about it" and you will be okay. So you prayed, but you still are not okay. "Does God even hear me? See Me?" you desperately wonder as you struggle with your life and faith. You ask yourself if there is something wrong with you. You want to be freed from every barrier that is holding you back from having all you deserve. You want more.

I have found myself with a lot of “highly self-aware” clients who tend to be big thinkers, and I work with this population to connect to the body and the nervous system in a way that may not always mirror traditional talk therapy. I value a somatic (body-based) approach just as much as a cognitive (thinking-based) approach. My therapeutic approach also draws from Humanistic and attachment theory, always through a trauma-informed lens. I take a holistic view, addressing the mind, body, and spirit, and often use somatic interventions to support nervous system healing.

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.
