Accepting NEW clients! In my office you don't need to wear a mask or pose as your best self because I want to help the part of you that's struggling and not really understood. Let me help you slow down and take a look at where you actually are instead and I'll start. Let my office be somewhere you don’t have to pretend or wear the “it’s fine” mask. Too often we say the phrase "I should...". But how often does that actually get you where you want to go? So why not try something different where we stop ourselves from "should-ing" on our lives.

It's the same old pattern repeating itself. Whether it is intrusive thoughts cycling in your mind or self-destructive patterns of behavior, you just want off the roller coaster. A daunting sense of confusion and guilt about what could have been, or what should have been may overwhelm you. Questions like "Why do I do these things?" go unanswered in your head. Relentless efforts to figure these things out yourself have yielded few results. Things only seem to be getting worse. The days are passing and you still aren't living the life you want for yourself. Let's talk about your next steps.

Feeling ready to reach out for help can be overwhelming, but it is brave. I firmly believe that just as everyone has a primary care physician, they should also have a therapist. Life provides unique experiences on a daily basis and sometimes our feelings related to those experiences can be misunderstood and overpowering. My goal is to create a safe space for you to feel your feelings, vent, ask for guidance and provide space to grow and heal. I’m grateful I am able to use my skills and tools to Evoke Insight with you to make positive changes and work toward healing. I would be honored to be a part of your journey.

I am a senior citizen and want to work with my peer group and/or their family members who are often caregivers. I help people with life changes that occur with aging. My clients state that they appreciate the collaborative approach and I am non-judgemental. We work through the pitfalls of life and aging together. Some of the most touching experiences I have had over forty years of work are around personal and family healing. There can be healing and peace when the senior gets help to relieve current and long-standing family and personal issues. Let's do this work 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.
