What is therapy like? What does a typical session with you look like?

We will spend the first session getting to know each other a little bit. You can ask me questions about who I am and tell me about yourself. Then we will talk about the things you want to get out of therapy. 6 months from now, what do you want your inner and your outer life to look like. Let's really look into that and go deep. Also, I will tell you a little about the techniques I use to help people and we can talk about which ones you feel comfortable with and what's right for you at this time. I do everything from traditional psychotherapy using cognitive behavioral techniques to more spiritual techniques like pranic healing.

My name is Katie. I am the creator of Burnout Relief and the Storytelling Group. I help people who are struggling with mental health master themself and create a life they love!

A typical session with me begins with a review of your current symptoms and any changes since our last meeting. We discuss your progress, any challenges you’ve faced, and the effectiveness of your treatment plan. I provide a supportive space for you to share your thoughts and feelings openly. Based on our discussion, we may adjust your treatment plan, including medication, therapy approaches, or lifestyle recommendations. Each session is tailored to address your specific needs and ensure you feel heard, supported, and empowered in your journey towards better mental health.

Hi, I'm Margaret, I am a nurse practitioner. I have been managing depression and anxiety symptoms for several years with good outcomes, improving client outcomes and impacting lives. I have been managing ADHD symptoms for several months and have observed excellent outcomes in client focus, concentration, and work performance, also impacting personal and professional lives. I welcome the opportunity to be involved in your care!

All are virtual so you will receive a link to join and upon joining, you will provide updates on your goals and anything that has happened since our last session. We will focus on the session goals after and I try to give homework to help with continued success outside of sessions. 

Welcome to my page, I'm grateful you are here to learn about how I can help you. I know firsthand how difficult it can be managing roles of wife, mother, and professional. Let me help you in your relationship! 

We’ll probably spend the first few minutes just checking in. Don’t be surprised if I ask about your kids, mom or your pup.  Then we go where YOU want to go. We have a plan of goals and objectives and we tackle whatever you feel like you need support with!

We’ll begin with what matters most to you, providing support and care throughout your therapy experience. Together, we’ll identify and explore both helpful and challenging thoughts, emotions, and experiences, helping you grow in confidence and comfort with yourself as we enhance your overall well-being.

I’m passionate about supporting teens, adults, and parents by creating a compassionate and safe space where you can openly share your struggles. Together, we’ll work toward greater self-acceptance and help you feel more confident in who you are.

A typical session lasts about 45 minutes and within that session, you will have the opportunity to have either talk therapy, somatic EMDR therapy or sandtray therapy.

Hello, my name is Dormetra and I am an LPC in Houston, Texas. I am excited to have the opportunity to work with you and assist with your needs. I see children, adolescents, individuals, couples and families. I am also a certified sandtray therapist and I look forward to working with you.

It is common for new clients to wonder what the counseling process is like. I would like to share with you what to expect from our relationship so that you are comfortable with what we will be doing. Mostly, you will be sharing your story with me and I will be listening. I may ask questions about how you are feeling or what you are thinking to help uncover the root causes and stuck emotions that are causing you distress. Sharing your story with a stranger is sometimes hard but sometimes easier than sharing it with someone with whom you have history. Often, during therapy you will recall unpleasant events and struggle with difficult issues. This may cause feelings of discomfort or distress. My role as your counselor is to become your ally on this therapeutic journey and to provide a safe space where you can talk and be yourself without fear of judgment. We will identify and emphasize those strengths that you have used to cope successfully with the challenges you have already faced. These strengths will help us build resilience and positive outcomes in our counseling work and will be the foundation of a hopeful and bright future for you when we complete our work. I promise to be honest with you and support you as you explore who you are and become accepting of yourself. I will work to earn your trust and help you feel comfortable talking to me about yourself. During this process, you will tell me what you would like to see as a result of counseling and how you would like to feel when we are finished. Together we will set goals about what we want to accomplish and how we will work to reach these goals.

A typical session with me may feel like you’re talking to your best friend yet, with a professional feel! You’ll experience quality service and care.

Hi! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor here in the state of Arkansas. I love meeting people right where they are and creating a safe place to process thoughts and emotions and move towards healing if that’s your goal! 

Therapy sessions with me are all about creating a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space where you feel comfortable sharing your thoughts and feelings. During our sessions, I focus on active listening and understanding your unique story. I’ll guide the conversation with compassion, asking insightful questions to help you explore the challenges you’re facing. We’ll work together to identify goals, whether it’s managing symptoms of anxiety, depression, or navigating life’s stressors, and I’ll introduce evidence-based techniques like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) or mindfulness practices to help you along the way. My approach is always collaborative—I’m here to partner with you on your journey to better mental health, and every step of the process is tailored to your needs.

Hello! I'm a passionate and experienced Psychiatric and Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) running my own private practice, Feel Better & Co., since January 2024. My journey in healthcare has taken me across various roles and locations, allowing me to gain diverse experience in both mental and physical health care. I started as a Registered Nurse, working in renowned institutions like the Cleveland Clinic-Akron General, and took on travel assignments in California, Virginia, Washington DC, New Jersey, New York, and even Hawaii. I’ve worked in Med/Surg Telemetry, stepdown units, ICU, and on the frontlines during the COVID-19 pandemic. These experiences have given me a deep understanding of patient care and the varied needs across different healthcare environments. I advanced my career with a Master's focused on psychiatric and mental health and a Doctorate of Nursing Practice. As an NP, I’ve worked across Washington, California, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Ohio, serving patients in both outpatient and inpatient settings, from community health centers to psychiatric units and urgent care. Currently, I provide telehealth services in California and Washington, making mental health support more accessible. I also have the pleasure of working alongside the wonderful therapy group, Empower, in Poland, Ohio, where we collaborate to provide comprehensive and compassionate care. My approach is always centered on you, the patient. I believe in taking the time to understand your unique story and creating a care plan that truly fits your needs. I'm here to help you on your journey to better mental health and well-being. Let’s take that first step together

First, we see if we are a good therapy match by discussing what you are looking for in therapy and if I am someone who specializes in what could help you. If we decide to move forward, I then get more information about your history and we collaborate on a treatment plan together to help you meet your goals. Treatment plans and goals will be different for each individual, but once we have that, then we could work on meeting those goals in sessions.

I am a licensed clinical social worker with extensive experience in outpatient therapy and hands-on parenting training. I am trained in EMDR which is a therapeutic model for addressing and treating trauma. I have completed certification programs in Child-Parent Psychotherapy, the Circle of Security-Parenting program, hypnosis, and I have national certification as an adoption competent therapist with the Center for Adoption Support and Education (C.A.S.E.). Working with women who are experiencing symptoms of anxiety and/or relationship issues is my passion. My goal is to help you to feel understood and validated. I do this by listening to you very carefully, and asking questions to help us figure out what the root cause is for your distress. Once we can identify the root of the issue, we can then figure out how to help you move forward and figure out a plan for facing life’s challenges head on. Many people come to me and tell me that they don’t know where to start or how to explain what’s been going on, and that is totally okay, let the therapist worry about all of that. Let’s work together and figure it out.
