I will provide a safe place where you can be open and honest with the circumstances of your life. We will work as a team to identify goals to help you achieve the outcome you desire. When life brings challenges and hurts that seem difficult to overcome. When you feel stressed, anxious, depressed, or angry. When work is overwhelming and you feel you need a change. When your relationships are strained and communication is difficult. When you have lost a loved one, or your marriage has failed. When you have lost hope and your faith is wavering. When you struggle with parenting and your children seem out of control. When you find yourself turning to alcohol or substances or other self destructive things just to feel better. Then get support from one who understands and has experienced many of these painful life events, someone who can relate to what you are going through with care and compassion and help you gain insight, perspective, and show you a way out, so that you can feel hope again. I offer an integrated approach of counseling, coaching, and life experience that addresses the whole person, body, mind, and spirit.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs) about licensed therapists and mental health services

Some other commonly asked questions on therapy with a licensed counselor and BetterHelp serving the Naples area can be found below:

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 Naples 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 Naples may not take health insurance, some in the state of Florida 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 Florida you can expect significantly more affordable options, with sessions ranging from $65 to $100 per week (billed every four weeks).

Some simply don't feel the need to see a psychologist. However, some people may avoid attending therapy due to stigma or preconceived notions of what it might entail.

You can discuss grief, relationship concerns, stress, or life changes and ask for general feedback.

Gaining a new perspective on yourself through various therapies might allow you to improve your self-esteem, work through relationships, and gain a better sense of your mental health goals. The success you may find with a counselor can be dependent on your process.

Is therapy worth it?

Therapy with a licensed counselor is effective and has the power to change individuals' lives. Each client is at a different stage of their emotional healing journey in life, as each human can be unique in their personality, expression, skills, and goals. An experienced clinician can target various symptoms, experiences, and personalities to help you feel your best and put you on the path to healing. Unlike advice from a friend, family, or non-professional, a mental health therapist has an understanding of various disorders like ADHD and depression with many hours of experience in treating adults in their practice. For this reason, seeing an evidence based licensed clinician in Naples, Florida can be worth it. Over 41 million adults in the US attend therapy services each year, showing it's a popular option and is proven to be effective.

If you are concerned about sharing details about yourself, feel free to withhold personal information.
