Investing in yourself is crucial. Life's busyness often leads to neglecting personal growth. You may have prioritized others to the point of depleting your own reserves. When inevitable issues arise, it can feel overwhelming. However, it doesn't need to be this way. Focusing on self-improvement can actually make you more present for those you care about. Therapy is a commitment to invest time, energy, and resources into bettering your life, moving you out of constant crisis mode. By working together, you'll find that while daily demands remain the same, your ability to handle them improves, reducing life's stress.

Well, well, well. If it isn't another year going by with no sustainable changes. The constant pressure of doing everything perfectly causes you to want to escape everything important to you. Motherhood, marriage, friendships, work, and now a new year looms…… No one seems to understand how overwhelmed you are. They certainly don't know that you are living with a constant feeling in the pit of your stomach that makes you doubt yourself and feel like a failure. Things really are more chaotic than usual. But they don’t have to stay that way any longer.

Feeling inadequate. Overthinking and overdoing, anxiety has control. "Will I ever be enough?" Attempting to measure up to all the expectations around you is overwhelmingly exhausting. Do better, try harder, don’t give up. "I have to succeed." Small mistakes feel big, rejection feels inevitable, and the fight to prove yourself is endless. All you want is to be seen and accepted by your friends and family. Annoyed, sad, and worried; you're burnt out. Critical self thoughts and hurtful judgement become intolerable; you feel alone and misunderstood.

Being a Mom is hard! With the daily tasks of getting everyone out the door, planning meals, and taking care of everyone else's needs but your own. Have you ever felt that the workloads of life are not balanced? Felt this sense of resentment towards your spouse and children because they don’t appreciate you? Often women are defaulted to the family CEO, balancing, anticipating, planning, and preparing invisible, but necessary household tasks. The inequitable distribution of invisible labor takes a toll on our relationships with ourselves as well as our relationships with our partners and children.

It's another day of the same thing, same unwanted negative self-talk, another day of what if's or what's next, and you hate the thought of the next day being a repeat yet the cycle continues anyways. Stuck. Burnt out. Drained in every sense of the word. It's gotten to be too much and you're sure you want more out of your life than this. I help individuals 16 and up who feel stuck in their unhelpful thinking patterns and are looking for a change. I also see individuals with trauma utilizing Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) with eye movements and limited talking to erase and replace distressful images and sensations.

Making changes in life can often feel challenging. Uncertainty and self-doubt may create difficulties in finding a clear path forward. Through collaboration, we can identify desired changes and establish steps to achieve them. Therapy can support individuals experiencing emotional pain or problems by facilitating the change they seek. I utilize both EMDR and ART therapies to address various mental health conditions, including trauma, addiction, depression, grief, and anxiety. Additionally, as a certified yoga instructor, I incorporate somatic work into my practice.

Are you and your partner not clicking the way that you used to? It can be frustrating feeling like the person who used to make sparks fly feels more like a roommate now, or worse, there's been hurt and injury, making it hard to feel secure in your relationship or move forward. Or, maybe you just haven't felt like yourself recently. You're struggling to get out of bed, anxiety and stress are simmering just below the surface, spending too much time numbing out or avoiding, or are having trouble sleeping at night. We've all been there at times, and sometimes it's really hard to get out of this stuck, survival mode all on your own.

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’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.

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.

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.

How much does therapy cost?

The cost of therapy depends on a number of variables, including location and the therapist’s experience and training. On average, a therapy session in the United States could cost between $100 and $200 or more. If you have insurance, the expense of mental health care is typically lower, but it varies based on your insurance plan details and whether you choose an in-network or out-of-network mental healthcare provider.

What are more affordable or low cost therapy solutions?

Many therapists offer sliding scale payments, usually on a limited number of slots, which consists in an agreement between the therapist and a client to pay a reduced rate. Therapists who provide such arrangements often consider the client's income or ability to pay, but the extent of the discount is ultimately at the therapist's discretion. Furthermore, while group therapy may have different goals and benefits compared to individual therapy, it can be a more affordable solution to address certain types of issues.

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.

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.

Are therapy sessions confidential?

Confidentiality is a crucial part of the therapeutic relationship. Therapists in the United States are bound by the regulations set out by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), which aims to protect sensitive health information. With very few exceptions, a therapist will only discuss their client with others when the client has given their written permission. The instances in which a therapist would be required to disclose personal information are: if a client poses a danger to themselves or others, if the therapist suspects the abuse of a child or an elderly or otherwise dependent adult, or if they are legally forced to by court order. These exceptions to the confidentiality agreement are usually discussed with a client before their first session.
