It's your friendly neighborhood mental health therapist (with a side of sarcasm and a dash of humor). Think of me as the person who shows up in jeans instead of the usual stuffy attire—because who says we can’t talk about your deepest thoughts while wearing a favorite “this is how I feel today” outfit? I’m here to genuinely listen and understand you, even if you feel like you’re living in a world of colorful (or dark) thoughts while others are stuck inside the proverbial box. I’m all about creating a space where you can express your stuff YOUR way.

Do you find yourself struggling with feelings of anxiety and sadness associated with negative experiences from your past? Maybe you feel like you’re outside of your body, trying to just make it to the end of the day. How about feeling “on guard” and trying to make sure you’re safe all the time? Do you ever feel like you’re reliving the past? Maybe others have noticed that you’re constantly irritable. Are you experiencing difficulty navigating relationships? Maybe you’ve stepped back from hobbies or activities you’ve always loved. Have you turned to self-harm or substance misuse as a way to numb the pain?

Have you left a doctor's appointment feeling dismissed and told your symptoms are "just stress" or "part of aging"? You're not imagining it. And you deserve better. My practice is built for women in perimenopause and midlife who are done being invisible in their own healthcare. The anxiety that appeared out of nowhere. The depression that doesn't respond to the usual things. The relationships straining under the weight of changes nobody's talking about. These aren't character flaws — they're often the direct result of hormonal shifts that your mental health deserves to reflect.

As a teacher, parent, or someone who has learned to be fiercely independent, you may be accustomed to handling everything on your own. You show up for your students, your children, your family, your work, and the people you love even when you’re running on empty. Lately, though, the weight of constantly being responsible may be catching up with you. You may feel emotionally exhausted, overwhelmed, anxious, disconnected, or stuck in survival mode. You might struggle to ask for help, set boundaries, prioritize yourself, or slow down without feeling guilty. On the outside, you may look like you have it all together.

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.
