It’s a question many people ask themselves at some point in their lives.

Sadly, there is a stigma associated with receiving mental health support. It’s a very unfair stigma, as mental health concerns are no more in someone’s control than any other medical condition. We live in a world that still has some evolving to do. The good news is that there many people who advocate for mental health treatment! Also, you get to decide who you share your business with, and there is no pressure to disclose to anyone that you are getting mental health support. Your therapist will also go over with you the HIPPA laws in place to protect you and your confidentiality during sessions.
All of our professionals are qualified to provide therapy to you. There are differences in types of schooling and years of masters/doctoral degrees, but many people find that the therapist’s area of specialization is more important the specific license that the professional holds. We will match you with a professional that aligns well with your preferences.
Phd/Psyd - Psychologists who have a doctoral degree.
LMFT - Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists (A common misunderstanding is that a MFT only provides marriage and family counseling. MFTs are able to provide counseling at the individual or couple level and are able to treat many concerns outside of marriage).
LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker.
Some therapists offer a sliding-scale fee structure, which is a variable rate based on a person's ability to pay for treatment. This fee is determined based on the patient's income level and means.
