Are you suffering from postpartum mood swings? Or going over negative thoughts in your head? Depression and anxiety or feelings of frustration and despair can leave us lost, confused, or helpless. It may seem as though no one understands you and you feel cut off from friends and family that aren't experiencing the same things. You might not even be sure how long you've been feeling this way, but you know you are ready for a change. That it is time to step out from under the weight of uncertainty and begin to regain clarity and a sense of purpose. There is no reason to continue to suffer. You can and will feel better.

Welcome! I have 14+ years of experience working as a psychotherapist and tend to focus on childhood trauma, self-acceptance, and the idea that most of our well-being comes from within ourselves. I treat most mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, compulsive behaviors, substance abuse and relationship conflict. I believe that the therapeutic relationship can be the most healing part of therapy and tend to use that as a guide.

Hi! I’m happy that you have shown an interest in going to therapy and you’ve considered me as someone to begin treatment with. I believe that everyone should have a chance to live as normal of a life as possible and while we cannot always avoid all of life's stressors, we can better learn how to cope with them. I enjoy working with clients who range from adolescence to adulthood, who are looking to better cope with life's challenges.

People coming to therapy are often overwhelmed with distressing thoughts and emotions. Others feel stuck repeating destructive behaviors or chasing dissatisfying relationships. Many clients have tried therapy in the past and want a deeper approach that gets to the root of their issues.

You might be feeling overwhelmed, shut down, or like no one truly understands you. Maybe you’ve been through trauma, tough transitions, or just feel stuck navigating life on your own. I offer a combination of talk therapy, music therapy, and expressive arts therapy interventions in my practice. Music and expressive arts therapy can be especially beneficial for clients who haven't found talk therapy helpful. Music therapy and expressive arts therapy enable clients to approach and analyze their past and emotions in a way that is less intimidating and more abstract. I would love to dig deeper with you.

Dr. Klenck holds specialized training in evidence-based practices such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, exposure therapy, and mindfulness-based practices for the treatment of anxiety, depression, bipolar and related disorders and a wide range of other difficulties. Dr. Klenck focuses on evidence-based treatment and evidence-based assessment practices, but finds the most important factor in therapy is the therapeutic relationship. Without a strong alliance with the client, she finds a therapist is limited in their ability to help the individual effect change.

Starting therapy can be an uncomfortable and difficult decision, which is why my first goal is to make you feel comfortable being completely yourself in our sessions.

I want therapy to be a space unlike any other your life, where you do not need to fear judgement or consequences for being yourself. We will then collaborate on setting achievable goals and planning steps to work towards them. You will come to better understand yourself while achieving tangible progress on your challenges.

FAQ - About In Person Therapy
What are the benefits of in-person therapy?
In-person therapy offers several benefits that some people find highly valuable for their mental health treatment. Being present in the same room as your therapist can create a stronger sense of connection and allow for more nuanced communication through body language. Some people may also find it easier to focus in therapy when they are in a dedicated space and away from potential distractions related to home or work; attending an in-person session provides a clear boundary between therapy time and the rest of your life. For certain therapeutic approaches, such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), exposure therapy, or somatic therapy, being in person may be particularly important, as these therapies benefit from the therapist being able to observe and respond to a client’s physical cues effectively. Additionally, some individuals simply feel more comfortable discussing sensitive or painful topics when they are face-to-face with their therapist rather than on a screen.
When should I choose in-person therapy over online therapy?
In-person therapy may be a better choice when you need a structured therapeutic environment separate from your daily life, when you find it difficult to focus or feel comfortable in an online setting, or when privacy at home is a concern. It may also be more appropriate if you are dealing with severe mental health symptoms that require close monitoring or if your therapy involves approaches that rely heavily on observing physical cues. On the other hand, if convenience, scheduling flexibility, or access to specialists outside your immediate area are priorities, online therapy may be a better fit. Many therapists offer both options, so you can also discuss with a provider which format might work best for your specific situation.
How do I find an in-person therapist?
You can use Psychology Today's therapist directory to find an in-person therapist in your area. You can search by location, insurance accepted, specialty areas, therapeutic approaches, and other criteria to narrow down providers who meet your needs. Each therapist profile includes information about their credentials, areas of expertise, and whether they offer in-person sessions. Once you have identified potential therapists, you can contact them directly through the directory to schedule an initial consultation and determine whether they are a good fit before committing to ongoing treatment. When reaching out, it can be helpful to confirm their availability for in-person appointments, their office location, and whether they accept your insurance.
