You are an overachiever in many ways but sometimes get overwhelmed by life. Figuring out where exactly you fit in the world, finding “your people”, and becoming who you are supposed to be takes love, support, and compassion from ourselves and others to allow us to be our best version. Therapy is a perfect addition to your support system and gives you support and education gained from years of experience and training to manage your emotions and relationships with others effectively. Because it's a lot harder to do that alone.

There are times when life is hard. You feel misunderstood, ignored, and lonely. You stop talking to your friends and family because your thoughts and feelings don’t seem to matter anyway. You feel that other people’s needs are more important than your own so you’ve put your needs aside and continue to give to those around you. All the giving has left you feeling empty and numb. Sometimes you feel like you are an observer of your own life and you don’t know what the next step is. All you know is that you can’t go on feeling like you do and that something needs to change.

You want to help and support your child. You've read all the parenting articles and parenting blogs but feel stuck. Perhaps your child has gone through an unspeakable trauma and you also feel lost trying to navigate life. Or maybe you are at your breaking point with your child's behavior and you think, "What am I doing wrong? Something has to change, but how?" PERHAPS you yourself need support as you manage to be the caregiver to everyone but yourself. You are starting to realize your past is impacting your present. You carry with you baggage that you know you should deal with, but instead stuff it inside hoping it will close.

Make sure you do the legwork to find the right therapist for you! If you're reading this, you probably are doing just that. Find someone who both feels good to be with (supportive, genuine, and able to listen) and someone who gives you confidence in the process (competence, aware of research outcomes, up-to-date training). Trust yourself, and don't be afraid to switch therapists if it doesn't feel right. You may not find the "right" therapist on the first try, and that's normal. This is a difficult step of the journey, but your persistence will pay off. This isn't a plug for my services, just something I want you to know.

You have a list of things to do each day, but you are barely getting one task crossed off. You’re finding it difficult to get your day started. No one in your circle seems to understand your struggle OR you're trying your best to keep it all together. Maybe you feel hopeless, confused, resentful, telling yourself “I miss who I used to be before marriage and the kids”. Maybe you are thinking who you are and what you do is just never good enough. You could even be questioning constantly “is everyone else’s kids this difficult and defiant”?

Children need and deserve coping mechanisms and strategies in place in order to help them navigate their inner and outer worlds, just like adults. I believe that each child is unique and brings their own strengths to the table. By using play therapy techniques and expressive approaches to build on those strengths, children begin to understand themselves and get in tune with their bodies and emotions to create meaningful change, and therapy becomes approachable, comfortable, and FUN for kids!

I totally get why you’re here… you want to do a little bit of research before you decide who will be guiding you through one (or more) of your toughest life battles. I appreciate that about you! So here's a brief snippet about me: I’ve been through some traumatic times, some of which were caused by my own doing. I can understand the feelings of helplessness, hopelessness, guilt, shame, anger, anxiety, and more. Those life events and mistakes are what led me to this God-given calling - to use that past feeling of brokenness and make it something beautiful.

How can I find a therapist in Greenville?

Search for nearby therapists or counselors by inputting your city, town, or suburb; or zip code; or a provider’s name into the search bar. From there, you can filter providers by the issues they treat, cost, insurance, gender, and other factors to find providers who are well-suited to your needs. To navigate between locations within the same country, enter a new city or zip code into the search bar.

Learn more about how to find a therapist.

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.
