I am passionate about helping people who have suffered from untreated mental health disorders and substance use involved houselessness (and/or incarceration) rebuild their lives. Human beings are born with an inherent resolve to overcome seemingly insurmountable obstacles. While it can easily feel overwhelming to go at things alone, with the proper support, there is very little we cannot achieve together.

I utilize a wide range of clinical skills to help clients reduce their distress and increase their overall well being. I aspire to create a unique therapeutic approach for each client, based on their needs, personal struggles and goals. Core tenets of my practice are empathy, validation, support and interpersonal feedback. Additionally, I strive to provide culturally competent care. I regularly attend professional seminars to increase my awareness regarding issues related to systems of oppression and privilege.

I am passionate about working with individuals and couples who may live with complex trauma, and/or are first generation immigrants, Black, Indigenous, People of Color, and queer, and gender nonconforming persons. I recognize the importance one’s contexts has on their lived experiences and see the interaction between systems and people. I am passionate about working with clients who are first generation and deal with anxiety. I also work with clients who have experienced racial trauma, generational trauma, and those going through identity changes around sex and gender.

"Experiencing moments of emotional distress due to life challenges is a common human experience. At times, however, life’s hardships can overwhelm our minds and bodies, leaving us feeling overly stressed, unwell, depressed, out of balance, and/or empty. Whether the source of the distress was a specific event, trauma or loss, a relationship dynamic, or in response to a life transition, I believe we all have the capacity for healing and personal growth, as well as the potential to create a more meaningful life.

Hi, my name’s Reyah. Life sucks sometimes and that’s often when many of us contact a therapist. We’re looking for some help, whether that be with how to respond to stressful family dynamics, how to fight with our spouse less, or how to address really hard mental health stuff like panic attacks and depressive symptoms. I believe you have unique talents and abilities, and if there are parts of your life that aren’t working then it’s because you haven’t gotten the right support. I enjoy supporting others and helping them learn practical mental health skills that can improve their day to day life.

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.
