Do you feel you're not enough, stuck, overwhelmed, stressed, and anxious, depressed, or simply misunderstood? When facing an overwhelming emotional experience, people feel lost, isolated and alone. Coaching is a way to relieve that sense of aloneness and form a trusting, collaborative relationship with someone who accepts you the way you are. I am concerned with the overall long-term well-being of individuals, couples, and families.

How do I find a therapist near me who is accepting new patients?
Finding a therapist who is actively accepting new patients can feel overwhelming, so it can be helpful to narrow your search down as much as possible. Use the Psychology Today Therapy Directory to search specifically for therapists who are in your state and who are accepting new patients right now, so you are not wasting time reaching out to providers who have a closed waitlist. From there, you can narrow your search further by insurance, specialty, and whether you prefer in-person or online appointments. Once you find someone who looks like a good fit, you can reach out directly to confirm their availability and request an initial consultation.
How long does it typically take to get an appointment with a therapist?
Wait times for therapists in the US vary widely depending on where you live. In major cities, the wait can range from a few days to several weeks. In rural or underserved areas, it is not uncommon to wait several months. Wait times can also vary depending on the type of therapist you are looking for. In general, master's level therapists like licensed clinical social workers (LCSWs) and licensed marriage and family therapists (LMFTs) tend to be more widely available than psychologists, who hold a doctoral degree. Availability can also differ depending on the specialty you are looking for; therapists who specialize in areas like trauma, eating disorders, or child therapy tend to have longer wait times because there are fewer of them relative to the demand for their specific expertise.
What are my options if no therapists near me are accepting new patients right now?
If you are having difficulty finding a local therapist with availability, there are a few steps you can take. First, consider expanding your search to include online therapy, not just providers in your immediate geographic location. Online therapy has made it possible to see a licensed therapist in your state without needing to travel, and in many cases online providers have shorter wait times than local in-person practices. Second, your primary care doctor can be a helpful bridge while you wait. They can conduct an initial evaluation, provide referrals that may help move the process along, and in some cases connect you with other mental health resources in your area. Third, if your symptoms feel urgent, community mental health centers are designed to serve people regardless of insurance status or ability to pay, and they often have more flexibility for both crisis care and follow-up appointments than private practices do.
