Life can get a little bit hectic and sometimes we lose ourselves in the mix. Losing ourselves can look like a loss of energy, not knowing what we enjoy or not, lack of boundaries, taking care of everyone around us but ourselves and avoiding others while also avoiding alone time with ourselves. Sound familiar? If yes, then let’s find YOU! Your authentic self sets boundaries, shows confidence, knows what you want and don’t want, and has some greater fulfillment with a life purpose. The authentic you is out there, so let’s start looking.

When life becomes unmanageable it can make one feel very alone. It’s in these moments that we need to reach out for help and guidance to get ourselves back on track. We know that anxiety, depression, anger, grief, etc. are all issues that we deal with throughout our lifetime. What some do not know is that we don’t have to deal with these emotions on our own. There are many different coping skills in place to help you manage and heal.

Let’s be honest, life can sometimes be hard to live, but it doesn’t have to be. Everyone is entitled to a life of joy. At times our circumstances, trauma, mental health diagnosis, and/or medical condition may seem to stand in the way of that. With the right therapist you can find joy and life can feel better to live.

When we connect, we boost our mood and increase our ability to manage our emotions. Partnering with a supportive therapist is the first step. With a supportive connection, you can discover your unmet needs and embrace your vulnerability with courage. Meeting what scares us the most is our greatest potential for reclaiming our power. When we are the empowered hero of our story, we can make positive changes for ourselves - or find the courage to let go of what we can not change.

You knew having a baby was going to be hard, but things still didn't go according to plan. You didn't have the birth experienced you had always hoped for, and are now trying to care for your baby without all of your support systems and enjoyable activities. Now you're up all night googling to make sure you're doing all the right things to stay safe, and managing your loved ones differing ideas of that safety. You want the very best for your baby and you'd do anything to make sure that you provide a happy and healthy environment for your family.

Is online therapy a good option?

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 United States, 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, 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.
