Are you going through a hard time? Do you have unpleasant memories you can’t seem to get out of your head? Or, maybe, you just need someone to talk some things through. You’re not alone in whatever you’re going through. The vast majority of us deal with these types of issues at some point in our lives. The crucial question is, how do you navigate through them? Seeking the support of a compassionate mental health professional can be a step in your lifelong journey of learning to thrive, not just survive.

A typical client of mine is a teenage
female
who is struggling with anxiety and/or depression.
There are times when getting through life can be a daily struggle. Anxiety, depression, PTSD, Eating Disorders, OCD, Borderline and Bipolar Disorders are just some of the mental health difficulties experienced by people of all ages, gender identities, races, religions and ethnic backgrounds. I can help you or a family member improve your quality of life through the exploration of past experiences, belief systems and relational styles, and aid you in developing constructive tools that can be used to make positive life changes. I strive to create a comfortable, trusting environment that facilitates insightful discussion.

Holding space for millennial
women
to let go of perfectionism, stop people-pleasing, and heal from the past. You feel stuck reliving the past and un-loveable despite "knowing" that you are enough. You've done therapy before but found yourself feeling worse. Does this sound familiar? It's not all in your head. Trauma impacts our perspective and causes us to the see the present through the eyes of the past. This can impact everything from our relationships with friends, to sleep and our performance at work. However, healing is possible if we know how to go about healing it.

I particularly enjoy working with
women
who are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or a general sense of dissatisfaction in their lives, especially as they experience peri-menopause and menopause.
If you are someone who is experiencing inertia, confusion, emotional exhaustion, burnout, frustration, or anything similar to these in any area of your life, exploring the root causes of these symptoms and more profoundly understanding your own natural rhythms and "recipe" for health, combined with the latest data and research, will help you gain much needed insight as well as a formula, of sorts, that will guide you toward better understanding about how to turn things around. My therapeutic approach is integrative, holistic & multifaceted. I believe that our emotions, health, relationships, and circumstances are all interconnected.

Anxiety and self-doubt. For
women
it causes issues at work, at home, and in your relationships. You worry if you’re enough, if you’re doing enough, and how you can make it better. You’re exhausted and it’s hard to keep going and be motivated. You’re not the best at taking care of yourself and often end up being last on the priority list. No stranger to the words “workaholic” or “over achiever,” you put a lot of time and energy into your work. Friends and family members have said “I don’t know how you keep it altogether.” You may have worn this as a badge of honor once but lately something has changed.

! Sometimes the thing we need most is to love ourselves and remember who we were meant to be. The closer we get to being who we are meant to be…the brighter we shine. Years ago, I remember asking myself what is joy? I knew happiness, but did I really know and live in a place of joy? That began my quest for a deeper understanding and connection with joy. It is in this moment and in every moment. Joy is a state of being. Joy has been my goal, what is yours? I look forward to being of service to you on your journey to achieving your goals.

Hi! I’m Renee Prince, a clinical therapist with experience in helping
women
process and overcome some of life's challenges, like anxiety, stress, having a history of childhood trauma, difficulty making life decisions, and depression to name a few. Those challenges have had a negative impact on different areas of your life, leaving you with an overall sense of not feeling like yourself. I am also passionate and have experience supporting young people. Adolescents are also experiencing similar mental health difficulties causing additional pressure with school, friends and family. Parents are often left feeling unsure of how to help.

You've heard of the Sunday scaries? What do you do if you have them all week? What if you spin with anxiety and worry about finding a path forward that allows for you to have BOTH fulfillment and real income? What if you dread going to work, but you've gotta pay the bills? You probably second-guess every decision you've made about your career, going so far back that you question your major in college.

"Emotional pain is not something that should be hidden away and never spoken about. There is truth in your pain, there is growth in your pain, but only if it's first brought out into the open" - Steven Aitchison. Life's challenges can create feelings of hopelessness, and even skew our sense of worth. You are not alone...I would love to join you on the journey towards healing and empowerment.

For the past 16 yrs I've worked primarily with children & adolescents* on the autism spectrum. Of course working with children means working with parents; partnering with parents is essential so that the progress we make in sessions carries over to everyday family life. There is nothing better than finding the "secret" to reaching a child and seeing them blossom before your eyes. It might not happen overnight, but believe me, it happens. To make the most progress, children should begin therapy as early as possible. * I can see adult clients and couples, wkdays between 11 am - 2 pm.

I seek to empower each client's unique movement towards emotional and physical well-being, mindfulness, wholeness and spiritual awareness. Through encouragement, compassion and mutual respect this co-creative therapeutic process enhances each person's self-esteem, potential and growth. Together we will explore possibilities and new directions, thereby releasing stress, inner conflicts, dis-ease, self-defeating cognitions and dysfunctional relationships. Embracing change leads to feelings of joy, aliveness and at the same time peacefulness and calm.

I am a compassionate, irreverent, strengths-based therapist. I enjoy helping teenagers, adults, and partnerships deepen their relationships with themselves. I think of therapy as a laboratory for discerning and developing life change. By considering therapy, I believe that you already possess the innate capacity and bravery to pursue this change so that you can live your life to the fullest. I draw upon psychodynamic, narrative, transfeminist, and other liberatory approaches in my work with clients.

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.
