As individuals, partners, or parents, we know when something is out of sync. Changing situations, relationships and emotions are all part of the human condition. Sometimes we struggle to adjust. How we act -- physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually-- all determine our level of health. I specialize in mood disorders, trauma, bereavement, and suicide survivors. My clients are the experts. They experience the situation. I observe and listen, provide support, and suggest tools they may use as they challenge themselves, as they find a better to deal with their problems. Small changes equal big impacts in our lives.

Are you trying to figure out how to make changes in yourself and in your life? Counseling is just a series of conversations with 3 basic parts. First is for you to identify what you want to change, then you will explore ways to make those changes. Finally there is the work of challenging some of your thinking habits and how to try new strategies. This can can lead to changes in your behavior. Rigid or inaccurate thoughts can limit your understanding of other people as well as yourself. As you progress you will likely feel much more hopeful and positive. These new skills can be used daily. This is you taking charge of your life!

Anxiety. Depression. Have one or both shown up uninvited in your life? Keeping you awake at night with worries and self-doubt, convincing your mind and body that 2 am is the ideal time to problem-solve and gain an enlightened mindset about whatever is troubling you? Most people feel worried or sad from time to time–we’re human, not robots after all–but if you’re searching for a therapist, I’m guessing that these uninvited guests have overstayed their welcome and are reeking havoc with your peace of mind and interfering with your life. You're unsure about whether it's time to change a situation or time to change your mindset.

Maybe you've been feeling like it's been harder to keep things together at times, or you have goals/decisions you'd like to reach but a little something keeps pulling at you. Are you experiencing the "wonderment" they call life? Everyone experiences these spaces as a symptom of simply being human. We are multifaceted which gives us greater meaning and pushes us towards growth, though sometimes we can benefit from a respectful, trustworthy, judgment-free space that is tailored to your individual needs exactly where you are in your journey.

Everyone suffers many losses in their lifetime. Grief is our reaction to loss based on what we have learned from childhood, what we have experienced as adults, and how we have chosen to respond. We then struggle to determine how to evolve and change. The grieving process does not follow a prescribed path. There are many commonalities to the grieving process, yet the journey is unique to the individual. Loss is typically defined as a death, but may take many forms: a relationship, a job, a pet. I specialize in many types of Grief and Transitions including Anticipatory. Absent, Complicated, Disenfranchised, Chronic, Delayed and Inhibited.

Facing a significant life change can create a great deal of uncertainty and lead you to question where to go next or what steps to take. You may have felt like you have to make decisions based on expectations and beliefs which, at your core, are not your own. Navigating the challenges and even the celebrations that come with life transitions of any kind can be daunting, especially when exploring your own authentic journey at the same time.

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.
