Helen Avery

Therapist

LMHC

Female

I look forward to building a therapeutic bond and helping to guide you through this journey we call "LIFE". I received my Master's degree in mental health counseling in October 2012. I have experience working in psychiatric hospitals, child abuse, substance abuse, and private practice. I am currently working on a marriage/couple's certification through the Gottman Institute. I love doing individual, couple's, and family therapy. I believe the most important aspect of therapy in the therapeutic alliance and how well we interact together. I wish I can say I can work with anyone, but that would be untrue and arrogant of me. If you are not feeling the sessions are helping you move forward or comfortable enough to start sharing vulnerability then maybe trying a different therapist is best. I do my best to provide a safe, empathic, solution-focused approach while utilizing several different therapeutic techniques. I have extensive experience working with how past childhood trauma affects your current adult relationships and how to heal from the subconscious, biological, and emotional aspects of trauma. I continually take certifications, classes, and training to keep up to date with my skills. I have a tendency to use worksheets, journaling, books, somatic therapies, yoga, and meditation with my clients.

How do we select providers listed on PsychHub.com?

The care options presented consist of treatment providers that we have assessed to be quality providers across a range of services for mental health, substance use, relationships, and other well-being needs. We aim to include only high quality providers and multiple viable options for those seeking care.

Do participating providers pay us?

To make our site free for consumers, providers on Psych Hub pay fees to connect with potential clients who are a fit for their services. Some also purchase Psych Hub's educational content for practitioner training and client support. These fees enable us to operate our service, including screening and updating information on each provider.

How do we determine which ones to display?

Rather than make specific provider recommendations, we present options and information so you can make an informed decision on what provider best fits your needs. Where we have multiple participating providers, we present multiple options (and where we don't, we prioritize adding more options to our site over time). We present providers whose capabilities, insurance coverage, availability and other attributes best match your stated needs. If many providers appear to equally meet your needs, we display a selection of them at random. Our decision on which participating providers to display is never impacted by the amount of fees we receive from them.

What is the relationship between Psych Hub and these providers?

The providers listed on our site are all independent entities from Psych Hub. We have a contractual relationship with each provider that governs the terms of their participation on the site, and in some cases, as mentioned above, their use of Psych Hub's educational content. There is no other affiliation between Psych Hub and the providers listed on our site.

What causes us to remove providers from our site?

We require that providers meet all licensing requirements of states where they offer services. If a provider loses their license, they are removed from our site for that state or service. We also seek feedback from users on providers they find on our site. We investigate significant negative feedback and remove providers if we conclude that to be appropriate.
