Are you having difficulty adjusting to the "new normal" of social distancing? While keeping us physically healthy, social distancing can lead to feelings of isolation and loneliness. The stress of the current pandemic may also be worsening pre-existing problems such as depression, anxiety and PTSD. Children may also be misbehaving more and experiencing anxiety, and families quarantining together may be fighting more. If you are struggling financially due to the pandemic, we can help. As a non-profit therapy center, we accept a variety of insurance plans and offer sliding scales fees.

Hello and welcome! My name is Irene Anderson, I am a professional counselor and former educator. Often times the many roles we take on can present unavoidable and challenging experiences. But, please know, you do not have to face it alone! Are you or your child/teen experiencing new challenges post-pandemic? Do you feel sadness or hopelessness in your current situation? Do you feel trapped in your struggles with anxiety? Have you been unable to grieve the loss of a loved one? Are you and/or your partner (pre-marital and marital) in need of a safe and non-reactive space to be vulnerable with each other to put in the work?

If you are anxious, depressed or struggling with a difficult situation, therapy gives you tools to reduce your distress and function more effectively. It provides you with an opportunity to look at behaviors, relationship dynamics and environmental factors which you can change to reach your goals. Therapy will also help you identify strategies to come to terms with the difficult elements in your life which cannot be changed.
Psychotherapy is particularly helpful in managing relationships and adjusting to life's challenges associated with parenting, aging, illness and loss, including the death of loved ones.

Because no two patients are alike, therapy should be tailored to each patient, rather than trying to treat everyone with the same theoretical approach. I believe that a therapist’s job is to guide the patient as they learn to change the behaviors and thinking styles that may have once been helpful, but are now getting in their way. Most importantly, I believe it is a therapist's job to teach their patients the skills necessary to eventually function independent of their therapist, allowing them to eventually leave therapy instead of being stuck with having weekly sessions for the rest of their lives!

I love working with teens and young adults who are exhausted from struggling with eating disorders and who look in the mirror and hate what they see. It can be so tough as a parent to watch your child struggle and not know what you can do to help.

Every stage of life brings new challenges which can seem as overwhelming and disabling. No matter what path we plan to walk on, there is no clear destination in sight. Has this been your experience too? Therapy seems daunting at first but taking a step back and untying those knots in our thought process prepares us for a wholesome life experience. We all go through trying times but also possess the ability to sail through with equanimity. My goal is to provide my clients with a safe environment where they are encouraged, valued, and understood such that it allows them to self-reflect and develop resilience for the future.

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, 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.
