Being misunderstood sucks, whether you’re a (so-called) “troublesome” kid or a grown-up still trying to figure it all out. Healing the hurt so you can uncover your resiliency and power is what therapy is all about! It’s a privilege to walk the sometimes difficult, yet so very rewarding path of therapy with you, and I don’t take that for granted. I am passionate about providing an open and affirming space for all identities - I am dedicated to
LGBTQ
+ equality and inclusion, and I work to be actively anti-racist in my approach as well.

I also have specialized training in working with
LGBTQ
populations.
In my work at Innovative Psychological Consultants I know that finding the right connection and fit is one of the most important things in therapy and counseling. I work hard to understand the individual needs of each client. Many people simply need a safe place to process and bounce around ideas. Others are looking for specific tools to help move them in a certain direction. We work together to figure out what will be best for you and how to get there.

It can be so hard to feel different. So many people receive messages their entire lives about not being good enough. I'm here to be a supportive, thoughtful and empathetic response to this. I have experience supporting individuals age 11 through adulthood, as well as their families, take the steps to build a more fulfilling life. I am passionate about intersectional feminism,
queer
rights,
trans
rights, fat liberation, and health at every size (HAES). I especially enjoy working with folks who experience challenges related to neurodivergence (ADHD, autism and other concerns) and
trans
identities.

Beverly works with all types of mental health concerns and has a special interest in working with adults on the autism spectrum and their families; first responders and military/veterans;
transgender
individuals and couples, and individuals and families currently experiencing or recovering from substance use problems.
Throughout life we have experiences and we create meaning about those experiences. These narratives that we create interact with and influence our thoughts, feelings, and interactions with others. Sometimes, our narratives can create interpersonal problems or hold us back in living our day-to-day lives. Beverly works to increase one's self awareness to support them in seeing existing patterns and to help one separate themselves from the problem to discover workable solutions and find hope.

We all face seasons where navigating the inner workings of our relationships feels challenging at best. I work with couples or adult individuals seeking help and encouragement as they navigate their relationships. Issues around parenting, dynamics within family of origin or in-laws, conflict in their partnership, work/life balance and couples that identify as interracial or
LGBTQIA
+ are all areas I'm familiar working with. I invite clients to create and practice new tools to better understand one another and emerge out of fighting each other mode and into a collaborative one.

Accepting New Clients! As an integrative therapist, I draw from different psychotherapy orientations. This allows me to tailor therapy to your needs and allows for a truly collaborative process in deciding where we go and how. Since successful therapy depends on a strong relationship between client and therapist, my first priority is nurturing that bond by creating a safe and supportive environment. I believe therapy is most effective when it is flexible, demystified, and client-centered, so you can expect me to be transparent about my ideas and approaches. My style is at times infused with humor and is always warm and direct.

Humor is one of my therapist superpowers. On the journey to greater emotional well-being, I want you to laugh, feel comfortable, and not take yourself too seriously. Seriously! Because when you're a parent worried about your child's peer relationships or your teen's behaviors or school performance, I know life can feel heavy. Even for adults dealing with typical life transitions, it can feel stressful and overwhelming. Whatever the challenge, I'm here for you. We will work together to regain the light-heartedness that makes life enjoyable.

Research shows consistently that no matter what counseling method is used, the connection between you & your therapist is the essential factor in feeling better about yourself and your life. I create a safe and supportive relationship with people. It is important that you feel heard, acknowledged & supported. This is the significant ingredient for your personal relationship transformation. In addition to deep listening, learning how to be resilient and knowing that you can support yourself through life's challenges will give you a sense of empowerment and self-esteem. I am active in the sessions, warm, supportive & practical.

A trusting therapeutic relationship is the beginning of positive change. With time and effort, you can begin to look at concerns and feelings like shame, loneliness, anger, fear, and sadness that may have brought you to therapy in the first place. The theories I use to guide my practice are cognitive behavioral theory and attachment theory. Awareness of thoughts and feelings makes positive behavioral changes possible. Developing a trusting therapeutic relationship leads to opportunities to grow while strengthening your relationships and your sense of self. I look forward to beginning this exciting and fulfilling work with you!

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.
