You're tired of feeling stuck, hurt, confused, and lost. Life has stalled out because of relationship static, family stress, anxiety, career crisis, addiction, lost hope, or past events that keep you running in circles. Each day feels like you're walking on eggshells. Sometimes you feel so cut off from yourself and those you love that you’re not sure who you are anymore, or if it's possible to figure it out. You wonder if things will ever get better and if living life with peace, joy, and renewed energy can really happen.

Jonathan Dockery
Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Associate, LCMHC-A, MDiv
Winston Salem, NC 27103
Many of the people I work with are used to carrying a lot on their own. They often carry the quiet thought, "if people only knew..." Over time this can show up as overthinking, stress, anxiety, shame, or the pressure to get things “right.” I help clients discover and understand the patterns shaping their lives and relationships. From there, with warmth and creative collaboration, we begin crafting small changes that lead to meaningful and lasting growth.

Many issues bring people to psychotherapy. Perhaps something feels off in your life—dissatisfactory; painful. Maybe there has been a loss, or a reckoning. You might be rebuilding, or dreaming of possibilities, or barely keeping your head above water. Perhaps, like many, you are contending with grief. My work is with adults from all backgrounds. Often, the individuals I support are navigating several areas of focus, including but not limited to: chronic pain and illness, dissociation and dissociative identities, complex trauma, histories of abuse, relationship challenges, searches for meaning, and family of origin concerns.

I help couples heal and deepen their relationships. Lots of of things can cause conflict and leave us feeling helpless to stop it. Issues like addiction, infidelity, parenting disagreements, money, and past trauma can cause hurt and push people apart. Our relationships are supposed to be refuges of safety and security; we expect to be able to count on one another. When we get stuck and can't connect with our partners, it threatens us to our very core. We feel trapped, hurt, scared, angry, and confused. The more we fight, the further we get from where we want to be. I want you to know it's not over yet.

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.
