Menachem Stulberger
I am a marriage and family therapist with 9 years of experience counseling a wide range of clients. I have worked with clients on grief and loss, depression and anxiety as well as substance abuse concerns. I take a warm approach with clients and use a client centered approach to therapy. I have been trained in cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavioral therapy and approach the sessions in a collaborative manner always working together with people I am working with. I respect that you took this step to seek out a listening ear and I look forward to working together with you on this journey. I was born in New York and as a young child my family moved out to Los Angeles and I have been here ever since. Growing up I was always fascinated by the field of psychology and when I was going for my Bachelors Degree I therefore choose to major in psychology. I attended Touro College Los Angeles for my Bachelors degree and then pursued my Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy through Touro University Worldwide. When working with clients I take a warm and empathetic approach and really try to hear what the client is saying. Therapy can be very rewarding but it is often challenging to talk about the difficulties that we face. In session I strive to create a supportive and safe space where we can work together mindfully and without judgement to increase wellness. Thank you for taking the time to look over my profile. I look forward to working together!

Trauma is timeless. Even though it happened a long time ago, it can feel as though it is happening now. Trauma can negatively impact every part of your life. Even a simple trip to the grocery store can feel overwhelming. Work can feel impossible and few people understand. I feel a special connection to anyone with trauma because I have experienced trauma of my own. You are going to feel cared for and validated. As a symptom of deep trauma, we often try to numb our pain. Unfortunately numbing the pain also numbs happiness. Human beings are meant to experience a full range of emotion. As healing occurs you will begin to feel that you can embrace the hard times as well as fully enjoy the great times. You deserve to have a therapist who cares and understands you. Life can become peaceful, meaningful and happy. I graduated from BYU in 2009. I then went on to get a Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy from Argosy University. I grew up near Seattle and moved to Salt Lake City when I was 17 years old. I lived in Norway for 2 years. I play the guitar, I like to ride motorcycles and cook.
Tonya Wright-Hamilton
I am a licensed professional counselor living in Texas with 8 years of experience working as a psychotherapist. In my previous professional life, I worked over 15 years in the corporate world. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including, anxiety, body image, relationship issues, parenting problems, communication issues, self-identity, self-image, self-esteem, multicultural issues, and career challenges. I also helped many people who have experienced mental, physical and emotional abuse. Every individual has strength within them to grow and change. My counseling style is warm, sometimes direct and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines client-centered, cognitive-behavioral, solution-focused, and trauma-informed counseling. However, I am also a strong believer in one's ability to choose, in addition to exploring their purpose in life. I will be willing to dive into existential or choice theory if necessary. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you!
Dr. Manuel Evangelista
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker(LCSW) in Utah and my practice is grounded in the synthesis of social, biological, and psychological theories. I provide individual, group, and family therapy integrating psychodynamic and humanistic approaches with the transformative healing methods and spirituality to adults age 19 to 69 years old. My goal in therapy is to move my patients beyond symptom reduction to the achievement of balance in the physical, emotional and, spiritual dimensions. My style of helping is reflective of eastern healing traditions and western neuroscience. While most approaches to mental health treatments are focused on changing distressing events and experiences, my emphasis is on accepting, finding meaning, and tolerating distress. A trauma survivor myself, I came to view pain and distress as part of the human experience that cannot be entirely avoided or removed. The inability to accept this immutable fact itself leads to increased pain and suffering. A Zen practitioner and mindfulness teacher I have both graduate and postgraduate education in social work and counseling. I am also trained in psychotropic medication and can work with your prescriber. Through the many years of clinical work and advocacy, I've learned to embody a warrior-like woundedness and the courage to sit down and listen. Come in.

Christopher "Chris" Driessen
I’m a therapist who deeply believes in the power of change. I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside people as they face challenges, grow, and find new ways of moving forward, and I don’t take that lightly. Those moments of growth, big or small, feel sacred to me. I love working with adults and teens who struggle with anxiety and everyday challenges. My goal is to offer more than just insight; I want to give people tools they can actually use and to work myself out of a job. For most, therapy shouldn't last forever. My own struggles have helped me connect more deeply with the people I work with and given me a clearer sense of how meaningful and tough real change can be. Those experiences have shaped how I show up in the room, with compassion, curiosity, and a practical mindset. I focus on long-term growth, helping clients build confidence, resilience, and self-trust. Clients often tell me they feel calm, safe, understood, and not judged in sessions. I think that kind of connection is what makes therapy work. When people feel seen and valued, real change becomes possible. I believe in your ability to change, I’m honored to be here.

- With therapists: $100-300

Is BetterHelp right for me?
One of the potentially rewarding aspects of working with a therapist is the validation and active listening they can provide. Your friends and loved ones may also be available to listen, but you may feel that they may lack the skills to provide objective guidance. Counselors are trained to respond to various concerns, symptoms, and mental health conditions.
Therapists in your city can support you toward a healthier emotional state, regardless of your mental health, life concerns, or healing needs. While supporting individuals in developing healthier habits, another good benefit of therapy in Cleveland is having an understanding, safe space with a non-judgmental party who can support you through challenging experiences.

There are also many types of therapy, where you may find you can express yourself through creativity instead of words with a psychotherapist.
