It feels like life isn’t going as you expected, and you’re struggling with anxiety and a fear of being yourself. Everything seems to be changing, and your self-talk isn’t where you want it to be, making it hard to stay present in your daily life. You know changes would be good for you, but they often feel impossible and paralyzing. Taking the next step can be scary, and that’s okay. Growth is not linear; it takes time, and it’s perfectly normal to feel this way. I work with neurodivergent individuals who are navigating life's challenges.

You just want to go one whole day without an issue from your child. One day without a meltdown. One day without an angry outburst of throwing toys and hitting people. One day where no one ends up crying. When you dreamed of having kids one day, you had visions of happy days at the park, and fun evenings over the dinner table, movie nights on the couch, laughter and joy. But lately all it has been calls from the school, behavior outbursts, screaming, yelling, exhaustion, and overwhelming despair. As a parent you are at your wits end. You don’t understand what is going on with your child, it feels like you have tried everything.

As a therapist, I imagine my ideal client as someone who feels overwhelmed by life’s challenges and is searching for clarity, healing, and direction. They might be dealing with anxiety, depression, or the stress of navigating a major life transition, such as a shift in family dynamics, career changes, or a loss. They could also be struggling to maintain healthy relationships or feel stuck in patterns that no longer serve them. My clients often feel the weight of trying to hold everything together and are longing for a safe, supportive space to untangle their thoughts and emotions.

How did this happen again? It took so much time and effort to break free from your last toxic and co-dependent relationship. Now you find yourself immediately stuck back in another one. It’s terrible to live this way. Your entire self-worth is dependent on external validation from others. Your partners constantly mistreat you, but you don’t feel like you deserve any better. “At least,” you tell yourself, “This negative attention is better than getting no attention at all.” You wish there was some way to regain control of your life and relationships, but you don’t know how. It feels hopeless, and you’re almost ready to give up.

I believe that therapy can offer more than just relief from problems such as anxiety and depression - it can also serve as an opportunity to better understand your strengths and to unlock your full potential. Doing so often means reflecting on the things that give us a sense of meaning and purpose in life: our identities, relationships, values, and goals for the future. In my work with clients I strive to create a warm and open environment where we can work together to both overcome current obstacles and begin to chart a new path for the future.

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.
