LPC

Female

I work with people from all walks of life, who are seeking support for a variety of life's challenges. My primary expertise has been with the experience of trauma and with addictive patterns of reaction, both of which tend to result in feelings of depression and anxiety. I have also developed expertise in working with the LGBTQI community and with women in transitional phases of their lives, addressing the grief process as the healing process that supports moving from suffering to hope. I believe psychotherapy is most effective when a therapeutic alliance is built, allowing me to learn about the client's perspective, assisting in identifying ways in which people either react to or respond to their own lives. With that awareness I have hope that people can move from reacting to internal and external crises, into more calmly making informed decisions about their own lives. I think therapy lays the groundwork for a more empowered approach to living. If you are looking for a supportive environment in which to discover your own strengths, to develop coping strategies that effectively address the issues that are creating internal suffering, I think my approach can be helpful. I believe that you are the expert in your own life experiences and that my role is to join you and offer perspective and guidance that allows you to discover how to move through whatever difficulty you are facing in a more empowered and self aware way.

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.

What is the relationship between Psych Hub and these providers?

The providers listed on our site are all independent entities from Psych Hub. We only list providers where we have a contractual relationship with a network, group, or practice that a provider is a part of, or where we have a direct contractual relationship with the provider. That contract governs the terms of participation on the Psych Hub site, and in some cases, as mentioned below, the provider’s, group’s, or network’s use of Psych Hub's educational content. There is no other affiliation between Psych Hub and the providers listed on our site.

Do participating providers pay us?

To make our site free for consumers, Psych Hub receives fees from provider groups, networks, or individual providers 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 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.
