On the outside, it may seem like everything is in place, but underneath, anxiety has been a constant companion. Juggling college or starting your career, navigating relationships, and handling the pressures of young adulthood can feel like an uphill battle. You're caught between striving for success and feeling overwhelmed by the weight of expectations. Balancing it all seems like an unreachable goal, especially when your natural tendency to please others makes it hard to prioritize your own well-being. Yet, in the midst of this chaos, you recognize the need for change.

LAUNCHING's mission is to assist young people transtion to successful adult independence. Our participants are "stuck", a.k.a. "failing to launch. They may not be in school, not have a job, be socially isolated, and almost always living with their parents, who are usually exhausted, overwhelmed and hopeless, and, therefore, also "stuck". Their specific issues may be ADHD/ADD, social and other anxiety, depression, high funtioning autism, gaming addiction, a significant physical illness, or any one of a myriad of other problems. They often do not know what they want, or if they do, don't know how to achieve their goals.

Life can be difficult, painful, wonderful, confusing, and more. As a therapist it is my goal to provide space in this complicated world for people to feel seen and heard, learn about their difficulties and create positive change. I enjoy working with children, adolescents, adults, couples and families. I am most interested in helping clients understand how environmental dynamics of past and present have come to impact a person, then learn to shift from unhelpful to more helpful patterns of living. Those I have worked with often tell me that I am honest, caring, silly, and “down to Earth”.

Online Therapists

Is online therapy as effective as in-person?

Numerous studies suggest that online therapy can be as effective as in-person therapy. However, further research is needed to determine if online therapy provides the same benefits across all client populations. Individuals with severe mental illnesses, such as schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, or those who may benefit from in-person check-ins, like those with eating disorders, may not experience the same level of benefit from online therapy. Nonetheless, the success of online therapy, much like in-person therapy, often hinges on the quality of the therapeutic relationship between the therapist and the client rather than the specific modality of therapy used.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of therapy conducted online?

One of the main advantages of online therapy is its convenience for both clients and therapists. It also allows clients who require specialized therapy to access a wider range of professionals than they could with only in-person sessions. Additionally, online therapy may be a more affordable option in some cases and often offers the same insurance benefits as in-person therapy. However, online therapy may not be suitable for everyone, especially those who value face-to-face interaction with a therapist. Therapists may find it more challenging to assess clients accurately in an online setting due to reduced nonverbal cues on camera. There is also the increased risk that disruptions caused by external factors, such as technology malfunctions, can hinder the therapy session. For these reasons, many therapists offer a "hybrid" therapeutic approach, alternating between seeing clients in-person and online.

Is online therapy suitable for children and adolescents?

Just like with adults, the accessibility and convenience of online therapy can greatly benefit children and adolescents. In fact, children and adolescents may be more accustomed to navigating online platforms than older adults, making online sessions feel more natural for them. Teens might also be interested in using additional online tools, such as therapist-recommended apps, as an adjunct to online therapy sessions. Apps for developing CBT skills, practicing mindfulness exercises, or tracking thoughts and moods can be helpful for teens receiving therapy. However, it's important to note that not all therapeutic modalities are well-suited to online therapy, especially those used with younger children. For example, play therapy, which helps younger children express their emotions, often requires in-person sessions to be fully effective.

Can I receive prescriptions and medication management with online therapy?

The ability for psychiatrists to prescribe medications through online therapy varies based on the medication and the states where the medical professional and client are located. While many prescribing regulations were relaxed during the COVID-19 pandemic, some states still enforce rules, especially concerning controlled substances, which may mandate an in-person visit before prescribing. Generally, however, medical professionals can prescribe non-controlled substances through online therapy sessions just as they do during in-person sessions.
