12/2022 - At this time, I am not accepting new clients. Please see any of the other amazing therapists available on this platform. ---------- We are each facing unique challenges which may leave us with feelings of overwhelming anxiety, depression, and uncertainty. You are not alone and have taken a first step in reaching out for support. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in the State of Nevada and Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts *Pacific time zone*. I have several years of experience as a therapist, but I have over a decade of experience in a host of therapeutic roles. My experiences include in-home work with families and children, medical social work, palliative and end of life care as well as work with LGBTQI clients. I also work to build a practice that accommodates Autism and Neurodiversity. With compassion and empathy, I will approach our sessions without judgement. You are the only one who is uniquely you, and I am here to support what your goals are for your own life. I provide strength-based counseling - which means I help you to identify skills you have, that maybe you did not even realize, and then use them to move forward. If you are looking for a therapist that will validate past diagnostics and doesn’t seem to help you normalize and incorporate what causes you distress, I am not for you. I will actively seek to help you find resolution and incorporate a sense of normalcy in to your life. My goal is to help you find such resolution in months, not years. No human lives a life without some hardship and struggle, each situation is different. Your situation is worthy of our time and dedication to chose how best to make changes that alleviate some symptoms and help manage those that will not subside. The therapeutic relationship is vital and I will work to ensure you to feel safe to be open and honest. Your goals are your own, but you don't have to decide how to tackle them alone. We work together to help you reach those goals. This work can be hard, and change is uncomfortable. We do not make changes in our lives when things are easy. We may find that humor can be appropriate, it is an excellent stress reliever to have a nice laugh, but you can rest assured your needs and goals are still taken seriously. I also like to duly warn that I like analogies, painting pictures and describing what you are feeling with a meme or other visual image is important - sometimes we simply do not have the right words to describe what we are feeling! I do not mind a little brevity and meme-culture, if it helps us understand one another better! My focus and specialty has largely been around end-of-life worries and managing the narrative of our lives as we age. This includes a deep desire to support the Transgender community, as I have found their fears/struggles throughout the life cycle to be ones that may not be adequately addressed by the physical and mental health professionals they turn to. I provide (1) 45 minute live session a week with messaging throughout the week. You may prefer chat or phone sessions only, but I will require one live video session per month in order to provide the rest via chat or phone. Typical workflow when I am your therapist: - messages will be responded to within 24 hours, though most are within 3-4 hours - journal entries may take longer for me to read, re-read and respond in a thoughtful way ** I am based in Nevada, times for East Coast appointments will be adjusted accordingly ~Mandi (pronouns she/her/hers or they/them/theirs) https://linktr.ee/SocialWorkerMandi

Thank you for checking my profile. Congratulations for getting this far in reaching out to a stranger for help. It's never easy. I know from personal experience. I have been a Social Worker for 34 years. I love being able to help people make the changes they know they need to make. If you don't know what changes you need to make, that may be where we start. We all have a part of ourselves that knows what we need to do or how we need to be. Part of a therapist's job is to help you find that part of yourself and give it a voice. I have seen and heard it all in my time as a therapist. So, have no concerns about sharing information with me, whenever you feel comfortable. We will start from where you are. You are in the perfect place to take the next step on your way to a better life. Remember that the perfect human does not exist. We are all working to make progress, not to become perfect. I have worked in outpatient and inpatient mental health centers for years. I recently retired from teaching Social Work and Healthcare Management at a local 4-year college. I have also worked in Hospice and Home Health for many years. The type of sessions we have will be based on your needs. Every client is different. I look forward to hearing from you.

How does the cost of in-person sessions with a therapist compare to the cost of BetterHelp?
The average price of an in-person therapy session in the US with most therapists is $100 to $200 per hour.

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

How do I know if BetterHelp is right for my household in Gardner?

Is mental health care and 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.

Over 41 million adults in the US attend therapy services each year, showing it's a popular option and is proven to be effective.
