You are the main player in your life. It may not always feel this way, whether it is past experiences, unhelpful habits, or challenges arising in your relationships that seem to be taking the lead. You CAN build on established skills and develop the necessary tools to help you feel in control again. Though this can take time, you’re working to take the steps needed for your own well-being. For that, I commend you! Will it be hard at times? Yes. Will it get better in time? Yes! With your willingness and desire to be a part of this journey, you can accomplish your goal, and I will gladly support you in that.

During major life transitions (i.e., illness, accident, death, divorce and retirement), clients can experience anxiety, panic, brain fog, dissociation, fatigue, sleeplessness and chronic inflammation. Ongoing levels of stress (in childhood or adulthood) and/or acute traumas change the way the brain communicates with itself and the way the nervous system registers threat. Intrusive thought patterns, images and behaviors may result. If stress started in childhood, clients may meet the needs of others well but may barely register their own needs. This "always on" approach to life can only work for so long before we "hit the wall."

Finding a therapist that is a good fit for you, especially now, can be extremely challenging! At the same time, that's exactly what I believe makes therapy effective, having a good working relationship between therapist and client. Perhaps you know what you're struggling with, but need a neutral, warm person to ask the right questions. I believe that the most important aspect of participating in therapy is that the client feels seen, understood, and supported. Whether your goals are to develop healthy relationships or work on coping skills for intense emotions, I hope to be able to be a guiding light on your own personal journey.

As an experienced clinician I realize what it takes to reach out and decide it is time to seek assistance for a personal or family matter. Entering into counseling provides you an opportunity to overcome negative patterns of behavior and thinking, to foster a positive self-image, and to build fulfilling relationships with co-workers, partners, friends and family. To achieve your goals I utilize an individual approach that builds upon the strengths you already have and assist you to learn new ones. This is a collaborative process which is based on an understanding of your history and patterns, your strengths and personal goals.

How can I find a therapist in Albany?

Search for nearby therapists or counselors by inputting your city, town, or suburb; or zip code; or a provider’s name into the search bar. From there, you can filter providers by the issues they treat, cost, insurance, gender, and other factors to find providers who are well-suited to your needs. To navigate between locations within the same country, enter a new city or zip code into the search bar.

Learn more about how to find a therapist.

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.

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.

What type of therapist is right for me?

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.

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 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.

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.
