How would you describe yourself? Do the words that come out of your mouth when asked “so tell me about yourself” reflect all of your greater aspects or are the waters so murky that you can only see everything negative? Whether positive or negative, we are who we SAY we are, we become what we CHOOSE to speak into the atmosphere, and the US that we present in that atmosphere is our overall SELF-ESTEEM.

Having a hard time selecting a therapist in Aiken? (Here Is How Our Aiken Therapists Can Help)
Finding the right therapist can feel intimidating, but there are simple ways to narrow down your search for the Aiken area; especially when you're having a hard time trying to find therapists accepting new clients.
First, research what type of therapy you’d like to pursue BEFORE trying to find a therapist or psychologist. Maybe that’s psychodynamic, cognitive behavior therapy, group therapy, family therapy, or couple’s counseling; just pick the Aiken therapist that is right for your needs. Next consider whether the gender of your therapist matters, the types of therapy they're most experienced with, and then finally choose a therapist located near you in the city of Aiken, or elsewhere in the Aiken county or state of South Carolina.
What is the cost difference between conventional therapy and working with one of our listed therapists above?
The United States has many therapists who are comfortable charging $200 or more per session, and in some instances you might find that the average price of a therapy session in Aiken, SC ranges from $85-$150.
Some therapists in the state of South Carolina will work on a sliding scale, meaning they’ll factor in your income and charge what you can afford per session. With our therapists serving both the city of Aiken and elsewhere throughout the state of South Carolina, you can expect significantly more affordable options with sessions ranging from $60 to $90 per week (billed every 4 weeks).
Did you know our therapists are not limited to in-person visits?
Online therapists, including all those listed above (all of which are in the United States) able to work with people like you in or around Aiken offer creative forms of communication to help people like you receive the best type of treatment for your needs.
Whether that’s via in-app messaging with your therapist, video sessions where you see you one another and talk about your problems, live chat or phone sessions, you and your therapist will find the best way to address your mental health challenges.

How to know if therapy is right for you?
One of the rewarding aspects of working with a therapist is that they are listening to your feelings. Our friends and loved ones often hear us, but they may have a hard time providing objective guidance in the way a therapist can; which can be extremely valuable due to the fact that many therapists have experience helping others through similar difficult times.
A therapist wants to support you toward a healthier emotional state, no matter what you're dealing with (including behavioral health concerns, grief, anxiety, depression or stress). In addition to developing healthier emotions, another benefit of therapy is you have a safe space to discuss problems that you may be hesitant to talk about with people in your everyday life.
Many people have sensitive topics to discuss; possibly an addiction or an issue with their relationship that they’re ashamed to speak about with their friends and/or partner. A Aiken therapist can help you confront these kinds of issues and find ways to face them and heal.

What is the difference between a therapist and a psychologist?

Often times, a psychologist will work along side a psychiatrist who is also a doctor in order to have medication prescribed if needed for a patient's care; but this is not always to case. At the end of the day, both mental health care professionals can provide the different types of therapy that someone needs.
So if you're looking for a professional, it's likely that one of our therapists can be of assistance and help you feel comfortable and confident with online counseling. Our counseling services will connect you with a licensed professional that is ready to work with clients like you to form a helpful therapeutic relationship.
