Finding a therapist is a lot like shopping for a new vehicle.

You’ve decided that you need help finding a therapist. There are so many options! Do you prefer online therapy or in-person therapy? A male clinician or a female one? Or does it matter? It can feel so overwhelming. You just need someone to help you find relief with your situation. How do you choose?

Licensed marriage and family therapist with a doctorate

As a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) and a PhD-level clinician, I’ve pursued advanced training to work with both adults and couples. Don’t let the name fool you you into thinking I only work with couples or families! I have specialized training to work with people who have experienced trauma, or have PTSD, or intrusive thoughts, or are experiencing life transitions. I also work with people who have relationship issues, whether it be with other people, or with themselves. Last, I work with therapists and other professionals who are also experiencing difficulties in their work (i.e., imposter syndrome), home (i.e., relationship issues), or personal lives (i.e., stress management).

What to Look for When Finding a Therapist

Finding a therapist in Utah or a online therapist in Virginia, or even an online therapist in Texas, is like finding a new vehicle. There’s research involved on what features or specialties you want the vehicle (therapist) to have, the purpose of the vehicle, where the vehicle is located, the price of the service, time weighing decisions and options, going on a test run, or two, or three, as well as reflecting on your experience with the vehicle. Is this vehicle a good fit?

However, unlike car shopping, therapy with me can change your life.
