Therapists have helped many people achieve meaningful change and improvement in their lives. They are well-qualified to assist with many concerns, such as managing mental health conditions, overcoming traumatic experiences, or addressing problems with a client’s self-image. They might also help introduce positivity, teach problem-solving skills, or help clients strive for wellness in all areas. 

Most therapists have at least a master’s degree and several thousands of hours of supervised practice before seeing clients independently. Many also have board certifications, such as those with the National Board Certified Counselor (NBCC) credential. It is also common for therapists to specialize their work to a specific group, condition, or treatment. For example, many therapists have advanced training in anxiety disorders or mood disorders and mainly see clients with those conditions. Others might specialize in specific trauma-informed approaches that are effective for those with post-traumatic stress disorder. Others might not specialize in a particular condition or treatment but might choose to work with youth, couples, families, or other populations. 

The mental health field is full of specialties and subspecialties, and it is typically worthwhile to investigate a therapist’s specialization before choosing to work with them. If you consider your needs before selecting a practitioner, you can typically have faith that your goals will be a priority that the therapist can adequately address. 

If you’re ready to make an appointment with a therapist, Meridian, MS, has plenty of professionals to choose from. In addition to considering the therapist’s training and experience, you may also want to consider whether the therapist takes insurance or offers sliding-scale options. Many insurance plans provide coverage for mental healthcare, but it is typically worthwhile to ensure that deductibles, co-pays, and other financial factors don’t sneak up on you. 

You may also want to consider online therapy, especially if your insurance doesn’t cover therapy. Online therapy takes place remotely, allowing you to attend sessions from home, and is often substantially cheaper than in-person options. The practitioners listed below are likely worth a look. They offer services to Meridian and the surrounding area, and you can open their profile to investigate their training and experience. You can also read reviews from real clients to help you decide whether a particular therapist is a good fit for you.

I entered Social Work to advocate for those who are oppressed and ignored in our society. I am a believer of God and I play guitar and lead worship. I love to design, decorate, and innovate. I love to read and write (poetry, music, spoken word, stories, and prose). I believe the cure of the world’s greatest social problems is connection! And our humanity connects us so effortlessly if we can see past the social constructs that divide us (race, class, gender, political affiliation, etc,.). I also believe the more we see our Creator in ourselves and one another the easier it is to bypass man made social constructs that cause division. I moved to Mississippi in 2015 and began practicing full time social work in 2017. I have worked in child welfare, public schools, church ministry, Apple Retail, and community mental health. And all those experiences have led to the modes and philosophies of therapy I have. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, & trauma and abuse. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment.

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 Meridian 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 Meridian 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 Meridian 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 Meridian may not take health insurance, some in the state of Mississippi 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 Mississippi 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 Meridian?

One of the potentially rewarding aspects of working with a therapist is the validation and active listening they can provide. Your friends and loved ones may also be available to listen, but you may feel that they may lack the skills to provide objective guidance. 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 Meridian therapy is having an understanding, safe space with a non-judgmental party who can support you through challenging experiences.

Many people have sensitive topics that they may feel ashamed to discuss with their friends or partner. A therapist can help you confront these concerns and open up through unique methods of support. There are also many types of therapy, such as art therapy, where you may find you can express yourself through creativity instead of words with a psychotherapist.

With a lot of people in MS, therapists may be booked out with clients. Through the list of profiles above and others within BetterHelp's team, you may be able to find a psychologist within 24 to 48 hours.

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 Meridian 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 Meridian 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 Meridian, Mississippi 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.

Meridian 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.
