Do you prioritize everyone else in your life? Do you have difficulty comfortably expressing your feelings? Have you noticed negative patterns in your relationships? As a clinical psychologist, I assist clients with making desired changes in their relationships and behaviors. Therapy is utilized to improve self esteem, communication, and build coping skills. I frequently treat clients struggling with issues of codependency, depression and anxiety.

Something in your life isn't working the way you want or need it to. Maybe you are struggling with mental health issues, relationship issues or engaging in behaviors that don't serve you and keep you stuck. Mental health is just as important as physical health, and I believe people deserve a psychotherapist they trust to address issues of mental health issues and personal growth just like they deserve a trusted primary care physician or a dentist.

Often, people seek therapy because they are struggling with difficult and painful feelings. Others may have trouble getting in touch with their feelings at all but know something is not quite right in their lives. To me, the goal of therapy is finding balance- getting in touch with our feelings without allowing them to overwhelm us, being vulnerable and asking for support when we need it while trusting our own inner strength and abilities.

I am passionate about helping couples craft deeply nourishing and caring relationships. In our meetings we learn the skills required for loving another person well: good communication, problem solving and repair. We explore what it means for each person to feel loved and cared for and work toward a dance that honors each members unique preferences. I also help couples have important conversations about crafting a mutually satisfying shared vision of what a meaningful life is as romantic partners, parents and community members. We work on healing from painful past ruptures such as infidelity, substance use and frequent fighting.

I'm Cali, I'm an OCD therapist. If you have OCD, you may find yourself stuck in some repetitive loops. Intrusive thoughts about violence, "intimate" content, questioning your sexuality constantly, overthinking your relationships... all of these could be OCD. I work with harm OCD, POCD, health OCD, sexual orientation OCD, relationship OCD & pure "O" OCD. I help with checking and contamination fears as well. Even if your brain disgusts you and you feel massive shame every time an intrusive thought comes your way, you can't scare me! I understand that OCD sends you thoughts of your "feared self" and I can help you enter OCD recovery.

SORRY, I'M NOT CURRENTLY ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS. Here's a nickel's worth of free advice: These listings are a good place to start (kudos for seeking support - there is not a single one of us who doesn't need it), but there is no paragraph so eloquent that it can substitute for sitting down with someone and finding out who they are and how it feels to talk with them. Meet with as many people as is necessary to find someone you truly trust. Don't settle. There are lots of therapists - yours should be awesome.

Hello! My name is Kacy Latham, M.A. NCC, LPC Associate supervised by Dr. Tara Fox, Ph.D., LPC Supervisor. My primary focus is working with survivors of CPTSD and victims of controlling and abusive relationships. I believe that trauma can have long lasting effects on all areas of our lives and most critically, the development of authentic self-hood.

For military families, anxiety is often a shared yet unspoken companion. The unique challenges of military life, from deployments to constant relocations, can foster a sense of perpetual uncertainty. Acknowledging these shared experiences is vital in understanding that while the journey is challenging, it's also a path towards collective strength and 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’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.
