Female

I believe the strengths and tools you developed in the past can help you with the difficulties in your present life, be they day to day challenges or pain that has been there for a long time. I have a saying that 'there is nothing we can't get through together,' and with me by your side, I hope you can face and overcome the challenges in front of you. I have learned that developing a trusting relationship in the first thing that needs to happen in 'good therapy.' It is important for me that clients feel heard and understood, and that they hear and understand me. I am highly supportive, but will also provide constructive critical feedback. My clients would say about me that I am honest, interactive and will support you all the way. I graduated in 1983 from Arizona State University, Tempe, AZ with a Master's Degree in Social Work (MSW). I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with many years of experience in both inpatient and outpatient behavioral health settings. I have fifteen years prior experience in private practice; for the most recent 15 years I worked for the Department of Veterans Affairs (Vet Centers) providing outpatient individual, group and couples therapy to combat veterans and their families, military sexual trauma survivors and family members who had lost loved ones on active duty. I focus on adults issues, using a cognitive/emotional therapy approach. I work with grief, including traumatic grief, emotional issues including depression, anxiety, ADHD and bipolar diagnoses. I work with trauma and PTSD and am available to veterans and their families. I want you to feel empowered in your life, able to face its' challenges and confident in the choices you make.

How do we select providers listed on PsychHub.com?

The care options presented consist of treatment providers that we have assessed to be quality providers across a range of services for mental health, substance use, relationships, and other well-being needs. We aim to include only high quality providers and multiple viable options for those seeking care.

What is the relationship between Psych Hub and these providers?

The providers listed on our site are all independent entities from Psych Hub. We only list providers where we have a contractual relationship with a network, group, or practice that a provider is a part of, or where we have a direct contractual relationship with the provider. That contract governs the terms of participation on the Psych Hub site, and in some cases, as mentioned below, the provider’s, group’s, or network’s use of Psych Hub's educational content. There is no other affiliation between Psych Hub and the providers listed on our site.

Do participating providers pay us?

To make our site free for consumers, Psych Hub receives fees from provider groups, networks, or individual providers to connect with potential clients who are a fit for their services. Some also purchase Psych Hub's educational content for practitioner training and client support. These fees enable us to operate our service, including screening and updating information on each provider.

How do we determine which ones to display?

Rather than make specific provider recommendations, we present options and information so you can make an informed decision on what provider best fits your needs. Where we have multiple participating providers, we present multiple options (and where we don't, we prioritize adding more options to our site over time). We present providers whose capabilities, insurance coverage, availability and other attributes best match your stated needs. If many providers appear to equally meet your needs, we display a selection of them at random. Our decision on which participating providers to display is never impacted by the amount of fees we receive from them.

What causes us to remove providers from our site?

We require that providers meet all licensing requirements of states where they offer services. If a provider loses their license, they are removed from our site for that state or service. We also seek feedback from users on providers they find on our site. We investigate significant negative feedback and remove providers if we conclude that to be appropriate.
