My primary goal as your counselor is to help you clarify your presenting problem and work towards reducing your suffering and enhance your quality of life.

I ground my counseling work in scientific, evidence-based interventions such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. My best work is accomplished when you and I feel we are working together towards a common goal while being aware of the your challenges and resources in mind, body, relationship, and environment. I greatly respect your willingness to take the first steps towards recovery and I do my utmost to help you in achieving your counseling goals.

Hello! My name is Sarah and I have been a licensed mental health counselor since 2003. I have also held many titles such as a certified thanatologist (grief and loss), clinical supervisor, and clinic director. I have worked in many settings besides private practice, including community mental health settings where I often worked with the chronically mentally ill, drug court where I worked together with substance use counselors to help people with addiction, and marital counseling centers where I taught communication skills to couples. I have treated clients who have struggled with depression, anxiety, relationship, and/or family issues, phase of life issues, grief and loss, and I have worked with many adult children of alcoholics and the challenge of low self esteem. Asking for help takes a lot of courage, and you should be proud of yourself getting to this point of choosing the right counselor for yourself. I strive to be a safe place for my clients, that they know that they are never judged, only given positive regard and encouragement. I am an interactive therapist, often looking for those "blind spots" my clients can't see are not in their best interest, and bringing them to light so my client can have those"light bulb" moments of new insight into themselves. I often remind my clients in the beginning that change in therapy is not a "drive through" fix, and it takes a commitment from both the client and the counselor to achieve the goals, outcomes, and change the client is wanting. My approach is very eclectic, learning with years of experience, that different clients learn in different ways. I tend towards the cognitive behavioral, Adlerian, (feelings create thoughts, thoughts create beliefs, and beliefs create belief systems) and psycho-dynamic approaches. I am flexible in my approaches knowing that some clients need a more coaching kind of approach with lots of cheer leading, while others need a more nurturing and gentle approach. I look forward to building a therapeutic alliance and relationship with you !

I am an open-minded individual with a belief that everyone deals with things differently and that is what makes us – us. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Certified Rehabilitation Counselor and Certified Disability Management Specialist, with more than 25 years’ experience working with chronic pain, depression, anxiety, and vocational issues. I utilize Choice Theory, education, and a mix of mindfulness, and other evidence-based practices to help people manage their pain, stress, anxiety, and depression. I work closely with clients to help them identify and fulfill their needs. I am trained in EMDR (Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) which is a top-tier trauma intervention. We will work as a team to identify coping strategies that work for you. I will be thrilled to be there with you through this process of learning to become more adaptive, healthier, and happier. Licensed in Washington and currently live in Kentucky. I am experienced in working with individuals ranging in age from 16 – 85 years old.

My name is Dr. Ouellette and have been working with BetterHelp for some time now. My practice has evolved and changed in ways that necessitate a re-introduction ... My name is Dr. Claude Ouellette. Over the years, I have acquired a Ph.D. in Psychology, as well as the Mental Health Professional (MHP) and Child Mental Health Specialist (CMHS) credentials. This is less impressive than the pursuit of excellence which I am currently undertaking via a Ph.D. in Psychoanalysis (degree which I hope to complete in the next 3 to 4 years). I have, as a practitioner, over 30+ years of experience in providing mental health services – from intake, to assessment, to counseling/psychotherapy, to key collaborative work. While I continue to enjoy these aspects of my work, I will focus my work at BetterHelp, according to the following parameters: 1- I will work exclusively with individuals struggling with a dissociation identity disorder (aka DID). 2- As a structured individual, therapy can be negotiated but needs to include (a) an informal dialogue to assess needs, (b) the use of assessment(s), and (c) a dialogue as to how to monitor progress over time. 3- As my patient, be aware that I plan to use Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) and Ego State interventions. 4- Also, be aware you might be asked to participate in a doctoral-level study. Participation has always and remains voluntary – we can talk about this as we work together. If these work parameters are acceptable to you, we can talk and define the kind of work we can to together, Dr. Ouellette

Hello, my name is Amy Roth. I am an LPC-MH (Licensed Professional Counselor-Mental Health) with the state of South Dakota and an LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor). I graduated with my Masters in Counseling and Human Resource Development from SDSU in 2007. I have been working in the counseling field for well over 15 years and I have experience with all ages covering a wide range of issues. In today's world, therapists need to be adaptable and meet their clients where they are. This means I offer anything from video, live chat, and phone sessions. My areas of interest/experience lay with trauma, attachment, mood disorders, adjustment issues, anxiety, depression, etc. The age range that I enjoy most working with at this time is the 15 and up age range, however, I have and still do work with clients of all ages. I tend to focus more on where the individual and their specific needs, such as what they are struggling with at that moment, what our goals for therapy are, and what works best for each person. I focus on the needs of the person in front of me and draw from my knowledge and experience to design a treatment that will help the most.

I am a seasoned, clinical social worker with ten years of experience with the Department of Veterans Affairs, where I treated veterans with PTSD, depression, anxiety, and substance use disorders. Prior to my work at the VA, I worked in nursing homes and community mental health centers where I provided psychotherapy and crisis intervention to individuals of all different ages and backgrounds. First and foremost, I consider myself to be a trauma therapist, and I subscribe to the notion that most diagnoses are rooted in adverse experiences from the past. I've been described as "blunt" and "caring" by my clients due to my no-nonsense - yet compassionate - approach to therapy. I consider the greatest compliment that I've ever received to be "You are the person that tells me the truth that I don't want to hear." If you appreciate being called out when you're not being completely honest with yourself, then I just might be the right therapist for you. I look forward to working with you!
