Life is hard. We all find times in our lives when it just feels like too much. Expectations and pressures weighing on us; fears and self-doubt keeping us immobilized; uncertainty about the future and regrets from the past making it difficult to enjoy anything in the here and now. Therapy isn’t just about looking at childhood experiences and discovering “why” we do what we do. It’s also about how to move forward: what do we unpack, unload, discard, or take with us? I can’t make life easy for you, but I can help guide you and walk with you in support of your journey to figure out how to lighten the load.

Does life just feel off? Is something wrong but you can't figure out how to fix it? Over time, life stressors build up leaving us feeling depressed, angry and anxious. We cope in by overeating, overexercising, overworking, arguing with the ones we love and fighting with ourselves. Whether it's one or all of these things, it is too much to handle on your own and I want to help you lighten the load.

Your relationship is falling apart. Your life isn't where you want it to be. You don't like who you see in the mirror. You’re feeling anxious, depressed, lost…maybe angry. Or perhaps confused because no matter what you do, things tend to stay the same. You should have the job, romance, and life you want. You’ve done everything you’re “supposed” to so what happened? Why are you still stuck?

It’s no secret that teenagers can be challenging. You want to help them be responsible, kind, hard-working, and respectful. They just want you to leave them alone. Or they have such strong feelings that they can’t seem to control them. Maybe you feel like you’ve tried everything, and nothing is getting through. The great thing about asking someone like me to talk with your son or daughter is that I’m not you. Maybe you even feel like giving up sometimes. Well I love working with “challenging” kids. The ones that parents have all but given up on. Maybe the kid has given up on themselves. This doesn’t have to be their story forever.

Sometimes, life isn't working out as expected. We can't do enough to please everyone. The relationships with those we love most are the most frustrating. We know what changes we need to make, but we don't. We are exhausted, disappointed, and disconnected. Relationships were never supposed to be so hard. Especially the one with ourselves.

Many of us, as individuals and in relationships, have become stuck in patterns that make us feel like our life is just not working and we don't know why. Through use of a safe, supportive therapeutic environment, we find ways together to create a life that makes sense and functions with satisfaction and freedom.
My hope for every individual or couple that I work with, is that the development of a stronger and freer sense of self will result in a wider range of choices that will lead to a more meaningful and fulfilling life and more satisfying relationships.

We are all looking to live a happy and fulfilled life! But, often, challenges come our way that prevent us from getting there. Life challenges have a way of forcing us to steer away from being happy. We start to look inward and question who we truly are. But when life challenges invite us to look inward, we can either face it or try to escape from it. However, there are many paths that we can take to reroute ourselves back to the right path, and Psychotherapy is one of those paths. We at Stillpoint Counseling Associates would like to help you get there.

You love your child unconditionally, and as a parent, you're willing to do anything to support them. However, at this moment, you might be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, and uncertain about how to help. Perhaps your child is facing challenges in forming friendships, struggling with their temper, or lacking focus and motivation. In such situations, it's natural to feel helpless, but there is hope.

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.
