I understand that seeking out therapy can be both a comforting and intimidating prospect, and I commend individuals who reach out for help. Whether you are looking to address a specific problem, or are in search of someone to assist you in gaining a greater insight into yourself, therapy can be hugely beneficial. Perhaps you are dealing with a difficult time in your life and need help managing the emotions and thoughts that come along with that. I aim to assist individuals in better understanding the relationship between their feelings and thoughts and explore ways to change maladaptive patterns.

Every individual’s motivation for seeking therapy is unique. I am sensitive to the specific goals that an individual has for the treatment, and frame recommendations accordingly. For some, therapy may involve a few, brief targeted consultations, while others may choose to engage in a longer term treatment. Regardless of the duration of treatment, I view the therapeutic relationship as providing the scaffolding to achieve one’s full potential, and resolve symptoms which often arise out of unresolved conflicts and anxieties.

Do you ever feel like you’re carrying the weight of your past into your present? Maybe you struggle with self-doubt, feeling like you have to earn love and approval. You might be hyper-independent, finding it hard to ask for help, or might even feel overly responsible for other people’s emotions. Perhaps conflict feels overwhelming, or closeness in relationships stirs up anxiety. These patterns don’t just appear out of nowhere—they’re often shaped by early experiences that taught you how to navigate the world, even if those lessons no longer serve you.

I believe that healing can begin when we are in the presence of someone who is deeply trying to understand us. When we feel we are understood, we may begin to feel safe enough to explore feelings and experiences that are overwhelming. I believe that our many identities play an impactful role in how we experience the world and also ourselves. Our work is to build a strong relationship within which we can explore where you have been, where you are now, and where you’d like to see yourself go.

I am Teresa Horton, LCSW, Columbia University graduate. I discovered the field of social through my sister's chronic illness as a child. The hospital social worker who worked with my sister and family opened my eyes to the compassion that is needed in caring for and connecting to families undergoing unanticipated difficulties. As a child, I knew I wanted to help others with processing difficult life experiences.

We often come into therapy with a particular problem. Perhaps it is difficulty navigating a life transition, relationship troubles, or anxiety keeping you from achieving a particular goal. I provide an insight-oriented approach that emphasizes curiosity about one's self and trust within the therapeutic relationship. This allows us to better understand and manage the initial problem bringing you into therapy as well as facilitating a truly healing experience of self understanding and acceptance.

I specialize in narcissistic abuse and trauma. This includes narcissistic abuse from parents, partners, family members, in the workplace and in high conflict divorce. Whether from someone who is borderline, narcissistic, emotionally immature or self-absorbed, the impact of trauma has a profound effect. I believe unhealed trauma is at the root of most of our pain and suffering. Unhealed trauma is stored in the body and it will stay there unless we actively work to release it. I use a polyvagal and somatic approach to help you regulate your nervous system and move out of a state of survival and into a state of safety and calm.

I’m a curious listener by nature, and my goal is to create a safe, nonjudgmental, and compassionate space for you to feel heard. When you join me in a session, we will explore the reasons you came to therapy, as well as other aspects of yourself that emerge in the process. I take a psychodynamic approach, which means we look at what is happening in the present and consider how your reactions may be influenced by your earlier life experiences. Through this work, you will become more aware of how these experiences have shaped you, learn to identify the patterns that no longer serve you, and claim a more authentic version of yourself!

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.
