I am a licensed mental health counselor and therapist with The Aberdeen Group. I have dedicated a great deal of my academic studies to understanding the unique dynamics of relationships with our ourselves and others. I believe that as humans we all need to experience feelings of belonging and significance and strive to help others develop and maintain these two basic needs. I recognize that approaching a counselor for the first time takes courage and often comes at a difficult time in one's life. I hope you will find that our sessions are enjoyable and worthwhile.

Hello, I'm Melissa. Are you looking for a therapist who understands the challenges of raising a family in today's fast paced and stressful world? Do you find it difficult to feel comfortable talking to others about your real feelings because you don't want to be that vulnerable to anyone else? I help individuals struggling with life balance and stress management. I have experience providing individual therapy to clients struggling with current life stressors due to past traumas. These past traumas can hold one back from moving forward in life and finding happiness.

Tess hopes to help assist you in finding yourself, and implementing the inner strength you may not realize you have. It is not always easy to open up and express your deepest fears or feelings with a stranger, which is why Tess enjoys using alternative tactics, such as play therapy, the sand tray, and even adult coloring exercises to allow clients to build trust and process through their fears and feelings.

I AM CURRENTLY NOT ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS AT THIS TIME. I believe providing clinical services is a privilege, and partner with you to strategize achieving your goals and empower you towards living out your authentic life. Mental Health care is the exercise of mental wellness just as we exercise our body. A safe trusting relationship with your therapist is the foundation of care, and I promise to never ask you to do something I wouldn't ask of myself. Some therapists are 'gay friendly', at my practice we are "family".

Good therapy begins with genuine, unconditional, positive connection to another human being. Feeling stuck and unsatisfied, confusion, and challenging life circumstances makes living an authentic life difficult. I enjoy helping people work though and understand their unique circumstances in order to increase personal growth and to improve the quality of their lives.

As a Certified Sex Therapist, I help committed couples fix their sexual issues and create connected, happy relationships. My clients may worry about speaking to an outsider about their struggles, but I'm not afraid to tackle the hard things about relationships and intimacy with knowledge, humor, and compassion. A poor sex life can cause arguments, pulling away, and sometimes the end of partnerships. If you're ready to work for the sex life you want and deserve, I'd love to help you achieve it. If you'd like to learn more about me, visit my website at annedevine.net, or watch my videos on Youtube.

Do you feel that mental health providers ignore your spiritual health when treating your depression, anxiety, marital problems, PTSD, or other mental health issues? Is Christianity a significant part of who you are and do you feel unable to bring that up during counseling sessions? Do you feel like your mental health provider views your reliance on Christianity as unhelpful or possibly even a hindrance to successful treatment of your mental health issues? Do you avoid bringing up your Christian beliefs during healthcare assessments because of fear that the provider may look negatively on you? Most Americans will answer yes.

We often endure hardship and struggle for a long time before we recognize that we cannot or do not want to continue with things as they are. Change is possible, even after significant emotional pain, trauma, or loss. I invite you to consider how you want your life to change. I also invite you to take time and give attention to pursue necessary healing. Over the last decade of clinical and practical experience, I have come to value therapy that is mindful, holistic, and practical. I aim to come alongside people ready to see change and willing to take steps toward trauma recovery, renewed purpose and a lifestyle of mental health.

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 or over the phone 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 United States, 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, 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.
