Our quick-paced lives can be isolating, overwhelming, and tiresome. Sometimes we all need a friend to talk to when our friends are busy, or even just an ear to listen without judgement to process the week’s experiences. Therapy is the perfect opportunity to work through the swirling thoughts that might be difficult to face alone. Whether it is trudging through grief and loss, managing parent child relationships, or trying to figure out your next steps in life, having the right person to hash things out with can make all the difference.

I utilize an integrative approach to therapy, meaning that I combine different theories to best suit your individual needs (including client-centered, ACT, narrative, DBT, CBT, psychodynamic, and solution-focused). An interpersonal process approach connects these different theories as a strong therapeutic relationship is most predictive of a positive outcome. I believe that if we can bring the problem into the room and experience it between us, we will have the best chance of working through it successfully. I will solicit feedback often to ensure that we are developing a strong connection and moving in the direct you want.

Native American Therapists

What are the advantages of seeing a Native American therapist?

Therapists are trained to diagnose and treat a wide range of mental health conditions through various forms of talk therapy and behavioral interventions. Building a strong therapeutic relationship is an essential part of feeling supported and understood in care. For many Native American individuals, working with a provider who shares or respects their cultural background can foster a deeper sense of trust and connection in the therapeutic process.

Native American therapists may be especially well-equipped to address topics such as historical trauma, intergenerational grief, and cultural identity—factors that can significantly shape the mental health experiences of Native American clients. These providers may also be knowledgeable about and incorporate Indigenous healing traditions, which can be beneficial for clients seeking this approach. Additionally, Native American therapists may be more familiar with community resources, support networks, or other culturally-aligned providers who can offer further support.

How to find a Native American therapist?

Psychology Today’s online directory is a useful tool for finding a Native American therapist. You can filter for providers who identify as Native American or who mention working with Indigenous populations and highlight cultural competence in their profiles. Look for signs such as experience with tribal communities, familiarity with Native traditions, or a focus on trauma-informed care. Depending on your preferences and needs, it may also be important to ask whether a provider offers telehealth, which therapeutic approaches they use, and whether they accept your insurance.

If you're unable to find a therapist who personally identifies as Native American, you may also consider providers who have experience working with Native clients or who demonstrate a clear commitment to cultural humility and respect for Native American beliefs and traditions. You might also consider a blended approach—for example, seeing a therapist for talk therapy while also seeing a Native healer or counselor for more culturally-specific support.
