Welcome! I imagine it took a bit of bravery and courage to take the steps you have taken just to get to this point. I recognize that selecting a therapist is no easy feat so I hope to tell you a bit about myself so that you can make the best decision for you. I also want to wish you the best of luck on your journey, wherever it may take you. I have been a therapist for approximately 12 years now following receiving my Master's degree in Social Work from New York University. I have had the great pleasure and luxury of working with many different populations throughout my career in a variety of settings that have been great preparation for the changing world we live in. I have worked with families coping with transitions, couples looking to grow in their relationships and, most significantly, with individuals just like you who are seeking an improved quality of life and that is fulfilling and purpose filled. I have also been able to work abroad as I lived in Shanghai, China for 3 years which helped to give me a global view of experiences and the realization that many of our struggles in life are more shared then we are aware of. My approach is one that considers you to be in the drivers seat. The therapy I relate most to is called person centered with a bit of cognitive behavioral approaches and certainly is psychodynamic. All of that to say I feel quite comfortable adjusting our work together to be what you need it to be while applying some techniques that have been researched and proven successful for others. The goal generally is to support and guide you on your path towards improvement while recognizing that you are the expert in who you are and how you see your life. I want to reiterate that this really is your journey and that you have already taken a huge step forward in taking care of yourself and being vulnerable, which I greatly admire. We get one shot at this thing called life. Kudos to you for wanting to get the most out of it.

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

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

How does the cost of in-person counseling with a therapist compare to the cost of BetterHelp with a licensed Catskill therapist?

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 Catskill 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:

  • Counseling with a psychiatrist: $150-$500
  • Counseling with therapists: $100-300
  • Therapy with a clinician: $100

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

How do I know if online counseling is right for my family in Catskill?

Counselors are trained to respond to various concerns, symptoms, and mental health conditions.

Therapists in your city can support you toward a healthier emotional state, regardless of your mental health, life concerns, or healing needs. While supporting individuals in developing healthier habits, another good benefit of Catskill therapy is having an understanding, safe space with a non-judgmental party who can support you through challenging experiences.

Should I find a therapist or psychologist for therapy if I feel fine?

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. Although psychologists often support people with mental health conditions, you do not need a diagnosis or specific condition. You can discuss grief, relationship concerns, stress, or life changes and ask for general feedback. A Catskill licensed clinical social worker may help you gain power over your life and emotions while you navigate day-to-day experiences.

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 Catskill counselor can be dependent on your process.

Is mental health care and therapy with a therapist 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 Catskill, New York 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.

Catskill has many clinicians who practice person or client-centered individual therapy in-person and through online sessions to assist clients in their healing journey. If you opt into online therapy, you might also be able to meet with providers all over the United States and change easily at any time. Many people struggling with anxiety and depression, substance abuse, body image issues, and more find therapists that are a good fit for them, feel supported, and gain further insight into their lives through internet-based therapy.

Do therapists judge you in therapy sessions during telehealth appointments?

The boundaries between you and a therapist are in place to help you and them regarding ethical concerns. Mental health professionals are held by ethical standards through the American Psychological Association (APA) and are not allowed to judge or harm their clients. If you are concerned about sharing details about yourself, feel free to withhold personal information. Their job in the therapeutic relationship is to create a safe place, help you gain a deeper understanding of your mental health, and support you. You might consider changing counselors if you don't feel safe or respected.
