Adolescence is a fascinating and complex time of rapid growth and change. During this transition, life can sometimes be overwhelming and present new challenges. As Maya Angelou once said, "We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty." For over 15 years I have been a counselor in the mental health field working with young children and adolescents with a variety of issues. I value a supportive, non-judgmental and compassionate environment for my clients to feel safe and respected as they share their story through the counseling process.

I see both adults and adolescents for a variety of concerns that include depression, anger issues, anxiety, behavioral issues, and school issues. I work very heavily with adolescents and adults who are experiencing the aftermath of trauma. PTSD, depression, anxiety (especially socially based), anger, identity confusion, and attachment issues are all things that one can experience when trying to get through a difficult time or life event. For some, trauma is not the concern. Their struggling with who they are, where they fit in, and how they connect with others.

Hi! As a clinically-trained therapist, I want you to know that the struggles you face and the traumas you have experienced do not have to define you. You have the ability to create a new path for yourself, to live the life you really want to live. I would love to help you create that life. As a Christian counselor, I believe God created perfection and placed it all in the Garden of Eden. Unfortunately, sin entered the picture and people have been struggling with the effects of sin ever since. Sometimes that struggle is beyond our resources and understanding. We need to have someone help us through life's troubles.

"You are the maker of your own destiny". Matshona Dhliwayo. My name is Hope M. Otto and I believe through experiences we learn, grow and develop. Sometimes we need help sorting through our feelings and emotions so that we will be able to reach our full potential. Since together we have faced a reality where social distancing is the new normal for everyone, children may be dealing with many things they do not understand or know how to handle. Through guidance and empathy, I have invested twenty years as an educator in helping children feel safe and calm and offering hope to overcome any obstacles they are currently facing.

You're finally fed up. You're tired of the miscommunications, the drawn-out arguments, the constant let-downs. No matter how many self-help books you collect, you and your partner just can't seem to get on the same page anymore. That effortless connection you had in the beginning has been replaced by what feels like miles between you. Talking it out only makes you feel more alone, and you ask yourself, "when did things become so one-sided?" You miss the person you were when you were happy, you wish you could love the person in the mirror, and you wanna know what the hell happened. All you know is you don't feel like "you" anymore.

I chose the path of family therapist, most simply stated, because human beings do not live in a bubble. I believe that connectedness, feeling known and understood by others, has the potential to cultivate wellness despite one’s circumstances and/or history. My passion is grounded in partnering with clients in their journey to enhance their quality of life far beyond their expectations, which often begins with guided self-reflection. Through the utilization of a holistic lens, I work with clients to develop self-worth, to generate motivation to step outside of their "uncomfortable" comfort zones, and to assert healthy boundaries.

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, 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.
