Life can feel like an overwhelming maze. Throw in fears about the unknown, low energy or mood, and the pressure to keep it together, and it can feel like the worst kind of obstacle course was dropped into that maze. Never mind the mixed information to “take a left!” or “go right!” It’s tough knowing what will actually be helpful when uncertainty or stress hit and you can’t focus on anything else. Or how to take the next step when you feel frazzled just by the thought of balancing of everything. And who actually knows how to navigate what it feels like to be side-swiped by medical anxiety or your new role as a caregiver?

Everyone feels stressed sometimes, but what happens when it becomes too intense and takes center stage in your life? Maybe chronic and persistent worry about a stressful situation or relationship is taking control of your thoughts, or you are struggling to heal from a past trauma. Maybe you find yourself feeling physical symptoms from anxiety, like a fast heart rate, feeling nervous, difficulty sleeping, and feeling fatigued. Do you find yourself having difficulty feeling calm and at peace?

Life's overwhelming stressors can often get you off track making you feel alone and without anyone to confide in to offer support and encouragement. The essential thing to remember is that everyone experiences these moments throughout their lives; it's what makes us human.

You don’t want your trauma to define your life. And in fact, you spend a tremendous amount of time trying to stop the trauma from controlling you. But somehow the more you try to push it away, the stronger hold it has on you. You might tell yourself, "I should be able to fix it on my own", "I'm weak", or "It's my fault." Unfortunately, when you have asked for help, people let you down, so it feels safer to just rely on yourself. You want to feel connected again, but it seems like you've tried everything and nothing helps.

You might look like you have it all together to the outside world. But, behind the scenes, you have been stumbling for some time. You may lack confidence or direction, have depression or anxiety, or struggle with your day-to-day life while feeling like you have no one to go to for help. Perhaps you’re dealing with past traumas that haven’t been resolved. Whatever the reason that has brought you to me today, I encourage you to contact me and schedule an appointment.

Perhaps you find yourself feeling overwhelmed, stuck, disappointed, or like life is just passing you by. Maybe your relationships feel dry and you're having trouble connecting with your loved ones. You might think to yourself, "That's it. I don't want to continue living like this. I want better for myself. I want to enjoy life again." Congratulations to you for embracing this first step toward change. You are brave for this, and I know we can continue to take steps forward together.

You are looking online for something to help the sadness and heaviness in your chest go away once and for all. You feel like a tightly wound ball of yarn and everything in your life feels like it is plucking at you and making you unravel. Balancing all of your roles in your life is nothing short of a miracle and the fear of failing at something wakes you up at night. No one may even suspect you are struggling but you cry when you are alone and feel like everything you are doing doesn't even matter anyway. There is a better way to manage life on life's terms.

Do you ever feel like you’re living on the margins of your life? As a therapist, I work with people to explore their lives on a deep level because it is my experience that the more deeply we work, the deeper our healing. We will work together to identify what is holding you back, has you stuck. I don't think it is what's wrong with you; I think it's what's happened to you. You may identify the stuck place as depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, relationship isuses, blocked life transitions, creativity, or spiritual growth. You may recognize this as a yearning to deepen and grow.

“I’ve carried these weights for so long. I do not know how I am going to open Pandora’s box without falling apart.” “I never had time for emotions/feelings. Life has taught me to stuff them down and not deal with them. I have achieved so much, and now, I am afraid it will all come tumbling down once I start to feel.” “I’ve never had time for myself. Most of my life is spent on the needs and wishes of other people.” Do any of these statements resonate with you? I have interacted with many clients over the years who have all said something similar to the statements above.

You keep searching the internet hoping to find something that will help you find normalcy again. Everything feels like a struggle anymore and you can't recall the last time you were actually happy or even content. You find yourself with an open bottle of wine almost every night or hiding in a closet to catch your breath from your life. Looking for answers with food, alcohol, exercise, shopping, accomplishments, or even attention has left you exhausted and empty. You have a great life but it doesn't feel great living it.

Hi! I’m Janelle. I’m a licensed psychologist, and I specialize in working with entrepreneurial women. I understand the pressure and stress that come along with owning a business. It’s easy to be consumed by your work and to struggle with balancing work with all the other areas of your life. You often feel spread too thin and like you’re not doing a good enough job in any of the areas in your life. You feel you’re not a “good enough” business owner, partner, mother, daughter, colleague, etc. even though you're trying so hard!

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.
