Living life can sometimes feel like you are living a lie or a life that is not your own. When you say, “I wish I could do .... but I can’t,” I encourage you to be curious as to why you think you can’t. Your authentic self that resides deep within your core may be nudging you towards change. When we struggle with patterns of chronic negative thoughts, emotional dysregulation, anxiety (uncertainty and fear), depression, grief, emotional wounding/trauma/PTSD and stress (unbalanced life), it overshadows our authentic self. This is when you feel like you are not living the life you want.

Something’s changed. Maybe your child used to light up when playing sports or hanging with friends but now they’re withdrawing, melting down, or panicking over things that never used to upset them. School is harder, emotions feel bigger, and no matter what you say or do, it feels like nothing helps. You’re not alone. So many parents are quietly navigating this. Parents who are doing everything they can but still feel helpless. Maybe your child has always been sensitive or anxious. Maybe this is new. Either way, you want them to feel calm, confident, and capable.

EMDR trained clinician. I ask you to consider, “what does it mean to be human?” Our experiences are largely complex in nature and often indescribable through words. A philosopher once said, “The more I know, the more I know nothing.” This quote feels especially meaningful to me because it captures the paradoxical, ongoing nature of being human as we try to make sense of our world and deepen our knowledge and connections with others.

FAQ - About In Person Therapy
What are the benefits of in-person therapy?
In-person therapy offers several benefits that some people find highly valuable for their mental health treatment. Being present in the same room as your therapist can create a stronger sense of connection and allow for more nuanced communication through body language. Some people may also find it easier to focus in therapy when they are in a dedicated space and away from potential distractions related to home or work; attending an in-person session provides a clear boundary between therapy time and the rest of your life. For certain therapeutic approaches, such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), exposure therapy, or somatic therapy, being in person may be particularly important, as these therapies benefit from the therapist being able to observe and respond to a client’s physical cues effectively. Additionally, some individuals simply feel more comfortable discussing sensitive or painful topics when they are face-to-face with their therapist rather than on a screen.
When should I choose in-person therapy over online therapy?
In-person therapy may be a better choice when you need a structured therapeutic environment separate from your daily life, when you find it difficult to focus or feel comfortable in an online setting, or when privacy at home is a concern. It may also be more appropriate if you are dealing with severe mental health symptoms that require close monitoring or if your therapy involves approaches that rely heavily on observing physical cues. On the other hand, if convenience, scheduling flexibility, or access to specialists outside your immediate area are priorities, online therapy may be a better fit. Many therapists offer both options, so you can also discuss with a provider which format might work best for your specific situation.
How do I find an in-person therapist?
You can use Psychology Today's therapist directory to find an in-person therapist in your area. You can search by location, insurance accepted, specialty areas, therapeutic approaches, and other criteria to narrow down providers who meet your needs. Each therapist profile includes information about their credentials, areas of expertise, and whether they offer in-person sessions. Once you have identified potential therapists, you can contact them directly through the directory to schedule an initial consultation and determine whether they are a good fit before committing to ongoing treatment. When reaching out, it can be helpful to confirm their availability for in-person appointments, their office location, and whether they accept your insurance.
