In many occasions anyone can feel anxious, confused, overwhelmed and lonely especially when a decision must be made. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, an estimated 51.5 million adults in the United States experienced depression, anxiety, or another mental illness in the past year. Steering through these times can be confusing. However, many times these situations are meant to bring us into new awareness of ourselves and those around us. Navigating these rough waters with a counselor can bring us to a greater perspective and experience.

Do you feel like you’ve lost sense of who you are or want to be? Does daily life sometimes feel relentless? Have anxiety, depression, stress and life changes drained you of your ability to fully connect with yourself, your loved ones, your passions and goals? We all get caught up in life, and the patterns we’re used to, and change can feel so unattainable. Sometimes you feel so stuck in how things have always been, have always felt, and how you “should” be - that you aren't sure how to even start making changes. I can help you unpack some of the weight you're carrying, so you can start to work toward a more satisfying life.

I am a licensed clinical social worker who has been working with adults and children who have been impacted by trauma or life's challenges for over 20 years.

As a Native New-Yorker I realize the importance of emotional support when required. If you are experiencing low motivation, frequent irritability, prolonged sadness or difficulty with making decisions affecting your ability to fulfill your goals or peace of mind, I'm here to help.

Having a safe place to explore and share your concerns is essential. The experience of being heard, seen and validated without judgment offers the possibility for real change. You are not alone, and sharing in connection will enable you to move on and to put obstacles, which may seem overwhelming, into perspective. I offer intuitive, empathic and interactive therapy using an eclectic approach informed by training in psychodynamic, relational, somatic mind body therapies and the use of expressive arts (art, movement, role-play, sound/music).

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.
