Finding a mental health provider is challenging and scary. There are plenty of worries, concerns and fears when trying to find someone that is a good fit for you and your mental health goals. "Will the provider judge me? Will anyone understand? There is no way anyone will get what I am experiencing!". Maybe it is not just fear but maybe there is also shame, guilt, embarrassment, or hopelessness around what you are going through. I will be the first to say mental health does not discriminate and all people go through hardship. My primary goal in working with a client is to establish a working rapport and trust in the beginning to help the client feel comfortable and safe. I will go at the pace the client sets and provide interventions that accommodate your readiness in treatment.
What can you expect from me?:
In treatment we will focus on how your symptoms are presenting and impacting your life, how you have developed thought processes, regulate your emotions, how you cope and interventions that will challenge you to create any necessary healthy positive change. You can expect me to challenge you and hold you accountable in areas of growth.
About my experience:
I have been working in the mental health field since 2014 and have been independently licensed since 2021. In the last ten years I have spent much of my career working with families and individuals struggling with adjustments, substance use, post-partum distress, anxiety disorders, relationship stress, depression, anger, self-esteem, schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. I also have years of experience working with adolescents struggling with defiance disorders and assisting families with in-home adaptations and interventions. My modality uses parts of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution Focused methods, Strength-Based approaches.

I believe taking care of your mental health is the catalyst to taking care of your physical health as well. Frequently feeling bad and carrying a lot of stress impacts your body as a whole. If you are starting to feeling the physical and mental burden of ignoring your mental health symptoms, it is time to take a chance on treatment.

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.
