I work well with individuals who struggle with controlling their emotions, and who have had a hard life. There is something about sharing pain with someone who is going to help you through it in whatever way you need. Some people need to process what is going on, some people are looking for coping skills to manage what they are going through, and some people are looking to problem solve. I have skills in each of those areas and can help you find out where you need right now, as well as what you might need in the future.

Very limited openings between myself and Alexa Strickland, who I supervise. I specialize in working with people with disabilities, of all ages, to create the life you want. I understand the frustration of living with a significant difference such as a disability can have on your life and that feeling of being held back. I also understand a disability can impact the whole family and see family members, if desired. This is how I look at disability – in most cases, it is with you for a very long time, if not for life, so why not still live the life YOU want?! A disability should not stand in the way of making them possible.

I have over 25 years of experience working with couples, families, and individuals. My work with couples enhances communication when it has been hindered by trauma, illness, infidelity, or other stressors. Couples work helps members listen differently, understand, and negotiate respectfully. I help parents understand children's behavior through a social emotional developmental lens. Individual work within the context of relationships explores self care. Our lives are affected by the systems in which we live and work.

Immediate openings for tele-health clients! Life is a journey. Each of us has a unique journey and sometimes we need help during certain periods of that journey . My goal as your therapist is to join you on your journey, offer you the help you need; now, and get you back to being you and disconnect when you no longer need me. We all have anxiety and depression. If you are looking for someone to go deeper in life's issues with you I am ready to take on that challenge with you.

For thirty-six years I have been working with individuals, couples, and families regarding a variety of problems and issues. These experiences have taught me a lot about the struggles that can come from being a human being in this complex and confusing world. Despite efforts to make changes in your life you may find yourself still unhappy, discouraged, or lost. We often develop ways to avoid the pain that is in our lives. While these strategies may be effective in temporarily avoiding our hurt, they do not help us heal. To heal we need to honestly face ourselves. You might find working with a good therapist helpful in this process.

+ Accepting New Clients + In therapy we will build upon your own inner strength and authentic self to process and heal pain or psychological injuries that may be getting in the way of living a healthy, integrated and fulfilling life. I believe that therapy is a collaborative process, that is, we will work together to navigate and explore any problems or patterns in your life that may be contributing to the challenges that you face. I am not a therapist that will tell you what to do, but I will help you explore all the parts that make up YOU, including the parts of you that are resilient and know the way forward.

At Alliance Counseling, I aim to help children thrive at their highest potential. I approach each child with the understanding that they are doing their best and come with their own inherent strengths and abilities. Difficulties with self-regulation may create barriers for some children to use these skills and abilities most effectively. My services aim to reduce those barriers. I value and respect the expertise that each parent or caregiver has of their child. Treatment takes a collaborative approach, combining the knowledge and experience of families with my clinical expertise as an ADHD Certified Clinical Service Provider.

My focus is on wellness on all levels - physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. I believe that compassion and safety are essential for healing to occur. I use mind-body-spirit healing modalities such as mindfulness practices, DBT, transpersonal counseling, EMDR, guided meditation, suggestive & regressive hypnotherapy. I trust in the intuition of the client regarding what is needed for healing. I believe that our bodies, minds and spirits are constantly striving toward health and healing, and that often times we simply need informed and effective assistance to get unstuck from troublesome loops in thought, emotion and action.

I specialize in, and am passionate about, treating a range of anxiety disorders. If you struggle with anxiety or OCD, you may have fears that persist no matter what you try. Or you may feel stuck in patterns that you cannot control, or unable to stop certain behaviors even though some part of you desperately wants to stop. And while I cannot promise to erase the thoughts you are having, I can help you to change your relationship with them and reduce their ability to make your life difficult. There is hope.

At The Sanctuary, we work with people of all ages. We believe that all people have infinite worth, so before working with us, know that is our view of you and/or your child already. Our clinicians have been classically trained in many of the greats (IFS, CBT, DBT, play therapy, etc.). The director has additional training in death and dying. With that being said, "Out of all of my credentials as a therapist, my most significant is that I'm a card carrying member of the human race" (Lori Gottlieb). Initially, our aims are to get to know you or your child from a strengths perspective and building a positive rapport.

Strength and growth come only through continuous effort and struggle." Napoleon Hill. Every journey of life has highs and lows. The fluctuation of those experiences are what mold us into the people we are meant to become. Although we are each on our own journey, life isn't meant to be traveled alone. Having others around us for guidance and companionship is a natural need. Therapy provides a safe, nonjudgmental environment to foster those relationships and to work on self.

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.
