Are you an adult looking for an autism/ADHD evaluation via telehealth? Or someone looking for a spiritually-based life coach, someone to help you live and work from a place of clear soul-alignment so everything you do reflects your truest self? How about someone who helps you understand what is holding you back from living with purpose, passion, and complete authenticity? And shows you how to live life as if it was rigged in your favor (as Rumi says). Who would you be if....you lived with no barriers or boundaries to what and who you could become? And you lived each day with joy and a love of living each moment to the fullest.

Throughout life we all have struggles and experience situations beyond our control that can deeply affect us. During these times we can feel alone or uncomfortable opening up to others about our how we are truly feeling. Feelings of embarrassment or beliefs that something is wrong with yourself can prevent individuals from seeking help and support from others. I want you to know that you are not alone. Whether you are experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, relationship issues, recovering from trauma or other concerns, your distress is real and healing is possible.

My passion is working with adults to overcome the challenges and complexities of life that can feel heavy and exhausting. I specialize in helping individuals who are struggling with carrying the family mental load, parenting and caregiver stress, and those who are feeling stuck and in a place of dread, ick, or experiencing overwhelming worries and fears. I understand that when you feel maxed out, adding therapy to your to-do list can feel impossible. However, to be the best parent, partner, or coworker you have to be the best version of you first.

As a parent, imagine waking up every morning to the sound of your teenager's muffled sobs echoing from their room. You knock gently on the door, trying to offer support, but often met with silence or a dismissive "I'm fine.” Your heart aches with the weight of their pain, but you feel powerless to ease it. You watch as your once vibrant teen becomes increasingly withdrawn. They struggle to concentrate on schoolwork, appetite diminishes, and they have lost interest in activities they used to love. Every attempt is met with resistance or frustration, leaving you feeling helpless and unsure of what to do next.

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.

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.
