Summer time vibes. Someitmes the Summer brings out the best in us, and other times the worst. Imagine finding a dope therapist, that has the support of other dope therapists supporting them as they are supporting you. Me, myself, persoanlly, I believe goodness of fit reigns supreme. I mean, how many unrelatable messengers have a great message that we miss due to the packaging? Finding a good therapist is like finding a good hair stylist or barber. Not everyone is a good fit so shopping around is important.

My clients are people in the middle of a battle — with substances, with behaviors that have taken hold, with the exhaustion of loving someone whose addiction is reshaping their world. Some come in for themselves. Others come in because someone they love is struggling and they don't know how to help, how to cope, or how to stop being consumed by it. What they all share is a moment of honesty — an acknowledgment that something has to change. I walk beside them through that. Not ahead, not behind — beside. Because I believe we are all, in our own way, walking one another home. And that journey begins the moment someone decides they are

"Many of my clients first come to therapy looking for a way to get back to something that feels normal. We all wrestle to find balance and restoration after a loss or a major life change, and can often feel lost and confused about where to start. After a while, exhaustion, anxiety, depression, and outright overwhelm can weigh us down in mind, body, and spirit. It can sometimes be hard to see a path forward out of trauma, transition, or grief. I believe that each of us deserves to be supported in finding a way through our pain into a new place of growth, healing, and hope."

FAQ - About Adult Counseling
Why should adults see a therapist?
Adults may benefit from therapy for a wide range of reasons—whether it’s managing symptoms of a diagnosed mental health condition like anxiety or depression, navigating life transitions, coping with grief or trauma, or simply seeking support during a challenging life period. Many adults find that therapy helps them build healthier coping skills and better process their emotions, which may lead to better relationships and reduced stress. It’s important to note that, unlike psychiatrists or primary care physicians, therapists do not prescribe psychiatric medication. However, they will often work alongside prescribing clinicians to ensure coordinated care and can provide behavioral therapy as an important addition to psychiatric medication. Mental health concerns can look different in adulthood than in childhood or adolescence, so finding a therapist with expertise working with adult clients is important. Conditions like major depressive disorder (MDD), generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), bipolar disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), for instance, may present or resurface differently in adulthood than in childhood or adolescence. Adult-specific stressors, such as job strain, caregiving responsibilities, relationship challenges, financial stress, or identity transitions, can also influence the onset and type of symptoms an individual experiences. Adult-focused therapists, therefore, are trained to understand these complexities and tailor care accordingly.
How do I know if a therapist is the right fit for me?
When seeking care, it’s important to understand a therapist’s treatment specialties and their overall approach to treatment . Some therapists focus on common adult conditions like anxiety or depression, while others specialize in areas such as trauma, substance use disorders, or obsessive-compulsive disorder. It’s also important to consider a therapist’s training when seeking care. Therapists hold various licenses depending on their training and state requirements. Common therapy credentials include Licensed Clinical Social Workers (LCSWs), Licensed Mental Health Counselors (LMHCs), Licensed Professional Counselors (LPCs), and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists (LMFTs). Psychologists (PhD or PsyD) receive additional doctoral-level training and may focus on assessments or more specialized therapeutic approaches. All of these professionals can provide talk therapy but do not prescribe medication. When searching for a therapist, consider their credentials and training background to ensure a good fit.
How do I find a therapist who sees adults?
Psychology Today’s online directory allows you to search specifically for therapists who work with adults. Each provider profile includes key information such as clinical specialties, therapeutic approaches, licensure, accepted insurance plans, languages spoken, and session fees. Reviewing these details can help you determine whether a particular provider aligns with your needs and can indicate whether they are a good match for adult clients.
