If you are experiencing a mental health emergency please call 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline or your local emergency room or mental health crisis center. "The Summer Day" Who made the world? Who made the swan, and the black bear? Who made the grasshopper? This grasshopper, I mean— the one who has flung herself out of the grass, the one who is eating sugar out of my hand, who is moving her jaws back and forth instead of up and down— who is gazing around with her enormous and complicated eyes. Now she lifts her pale forearms and thoroughly washes her face. Now she snaps her wings open, and floats away. I don't know exactly what a prayer is. I do know how to pay attention, how to fall down into the grass, how to kneel down in the grass, how to be idle and blessed, how to stroll through the fields, which is what I have been doing all day. Tell me, what else should I have done? Doesn't everything die at last, and too soon? Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life? —Mary Oliver I look forward to providing you an open and welcoming space where you can be your authentic self. Sarah, (She, Her and Hers)

"I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul" - William Henley. People want to feel in control. But, when people experience internal or external change, and resist such, they can feel a loss of control. Such a loss can manifest itself in a variety of ways. By identifying values, increasing insight, developing integrity, and practicing self-care, people can regain control. I have worked in a variety of settings and with a variety of populations. Presently, I specialize in adolescents and adults experiencing depressive, anxiety, or personality symptoms. In addition, I have experience in helping clients with anger management, career difficulties, and coping with life changes. My primary techniques include Cognitive-Behavior, Psychodynamic, and Existential therapies. I love my work, and I look forward to working with you - let's get started.

How does the cost of an in-person therapist compare to BetterHelp?

The average price of an in-person therapy session in the US with most therapists is $100 to $200 per hour. These prices may be higher in Sheridan due to a higher cost of living, and a limited number of therapists taking new clients. The price also depends on the type of provider you are looking for. See the following average prices for various mental health providers without insurance:

  • With a psychiatrist: $150-$500
  • With therapists: $100-300
  • With a clinician: $100

While many psychologists in Sheridan may not take health insurance, some in the state of Colorado may work on a sliding scale, meaning they'll factor in your income and charge what you can afford per session. With a BetterHelp therapist throughout the state of Colorado you can expect significantly more affordable options, with sessions ranging from $65 to $100 per week (billed every four weeks).
