Reviews For Our Therapists

Lorraine Quinlan

"Lorraine has been my guide through my first experience of therapy. I didnt know what to expect, but I feel very lucky to have had her professional and caring presence through some difficult times. The way she translates a solid theoretical understanding into a personal approach has worked wonders for me. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a warm, caring therapist who you can trust to listen to you and offer judgement-free advice. "

Raphaella Heaven

"Raphaella has been so fantastic with me. As a young man, I had a lot of worries about starting counselling, however right from our very first session Raphaella has helped me feel comfortable and safe when talking. I never felt judged by her and in our sessions she has listened so well before weighing in with her own professional opinion, which was always supportive. She has gone above and beyond in helping me, such as sending me messages of support before events that I had told her were upcoming. These things all made me feel like my feelings were valid and that I had the full support of Raphaella. As a therapist, Raphaella is thoughtful, kind, and a great listener. I would not hesitate to recommend her"

Kerry Corbett

"Kerry is a calm, kind, thoughtful, and insightful therapist. This was my first time experiencing therapy and she made me feel extremely comfortable speaking about subjects I never thought I would share. Her insights were invariably of great use and she made the issues I had seem easily surmountable. I would thoroughly recommend Kerry to anyone."

Rachael Firth

"I found Rachel really easy to talk to. I felt comfortable enough to share something really personal with her that I haven't felt able to tell to many people in my life. I found her kind and supportive and she's given me a new way of thinking about things that I'm certain I will find helpful moving forward. Thank you."

Emma Pereira

"I always used to look at therapy as this uncomfortable/shameful thing, not towards others doing it but towards myself doing it. But in reality, it is the complete opposite. Emma has changed my life in ways I needed. She listens and makes me feel heard. She’s the kindness I was lacking in my life and I am so incredibly grateful and lucky I chose her to be my therapist. The state my life was in before I had met Emma vs how it is now, I can only say thank you. I highly would recommend anyone and everyone to meet Emma. She truly is phenomenal. ❤️‍"

Joseph StanfillLCSW

"Joseph is a great listener and very knowledgeable about a variety of techniques that I've been able to use to address some of my issues. I strongly recommend giving him a shot!"

FAQs

How do I find a therapist nearby?

Simply type in your city, state, or zip code in the search bar above to find a counselor helping people in your area. Finding a counselor near you is helpful if you're seeking in-person therapy. With online therapy, you have more flexibility in choosing therapy with a counselor best suited for your needs.

Which licensed counselor is right for me?

Finding the right therapist for you can seem overwhelming, but you can narrow down your search by considering what type of counseling you’d like to pursue. Take a few minutes to read through some counselor profiles to see their different areas of expertise and their philosophies on therapy. If you feel like your matched therapist isn’t the right one for you, you can choose to match with a different therapist at any time. The most important thing in therapy is if you feel comfortable with your counselor.

How long do I have to wait to get an appointment with a counselor?

After taking our short questionnaire, you can instantly message the therapist that you’ve been matched to and schedule a time with them for a live therapy session. You can message your therapist as often as you would like, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Online therapy typically allows you to connect with a therapist more often than in-person therapy does. In both online therapy and in-person therapy, your counselor will integrate different methods into your treatment plan. For example, cognitive-behavioral therapy is used to challenge and replace negative thoughts (cognitions) with healthy behaviors. Other methods include dialectical behavior therapy, interpersonal therapy, psychodynamic therapy, emotion-focused therapy, and family therapy.

How much does counseling cost?

Traditional face-to-face therapy typically costs $150-250 per session, while online therapy ranges from $60-90 per week (billed every four weeks). With face-to-face therapy, you're paying for one live counseling session per week, and you generally cannot contact your therapist between sessions. With online therapy, you're paying for one live therapy session per week, as well as the ability to message your therapist 24/7. With BetterHelp therapy, therapists typically check their messages once or twice a day.

What should I ask my therapist?

When it comes to asking questions of a therapist to see if they're a good fit, you can start by emailing or calling the therapists' offices. You can usually find therapists' contact information online. Start by introducing yourself, and mention that you're curious about starting therapy. Ask if the therapist has experience working with people who are dealing with the same specific issues as you are. Keep calling or emailing therapists until you find someone with past experience treating the same issues in therapy. Once you start therapy, remember that the therapist is there to help you. If there's not a good fit between the therapist and client in therapy, don't feel bad about reaching out to a different therapist.
