It's time to learn to recognize the lies you've accepted your entire life. Emotional Manipulation is often difficult to identify, yet the effects are recognizable. Feelings of guilt and being out of control, fear, avoidance, resentment and even anxiety or depression manifest. A history of abuse or learning that it's not OK or safe to set limits or boundaries on unhealthy behavior is common. We'll explore differences between helping versus enabling and work towards healthy relationships.

You're not lazy. Motivation doesn't exist in a vacuum. For you to make a change, you have to be convinced it's worth your effort; you need to know that changing will help. A lot of problems that bring folks to therapy (drinking/smoking too much, doom scrolling, binge-eating, isolating, "lack of motivation") are strategic ways of avoiding a larger problem. We start doing these things to help or cope in the short-term, and sometimes it's at the cost of our long-term well-being. Counseling can help you find your balance.

Do you struggle with feeling overwhelmed by the demands of life? Are you feeling stuck in a relationship, job or an old pattern of behavior? Do you find yourself swept up in emotions such as anger, disappointment or anxiety? Many people come to me when they feel at a loss and have a desire to numb, withdraw or act out. Seeking support is the first step toward feeling better. I enjoy working with individuals who find it difficult managing their anxiety and stress leading to feelings of anger and isolation, or having trouble in relationships due to an inability to communicate their internal experience.

When something traumatic happens in our lives it can be difficult to move forward in meaningful ways. We often keep getting drawn back into the same patterns of destructive thoughts or behaviors. It becomes difficult to get out of these habits until we process the traumatic events at the root of these thoughts and behaviors. Therapy is one stepping stone in the healing journey of many people who have experienced trauma in their lives.

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.
