Clarity Psychotherapy

🗣️As we step into a new year, many of us are setting personal goals focused on growth, healing, and well-being. If starting therapy was on your list, now is a great time to begin. 🌅

My practice is fee-for-service (self-pay), and one of the most common frustrations I hear is: “I want to use my benefits.” To help make that process easier, I utilize a payment processor called Thrizer, which allows you to use your out-of-network benefits more conveniently.

If you’ve been thinking about prioritizing your mental health this year, I’d love to support you on that journey. 💙
Feel free to reach out with any questions or to get started.

While I don't accept insurance directly, your insurance plan may have out-of-network benefits, which means they will reimburse you for a portion of our session cost. Thrizer will handle the out-of-network process automatically for you. With Thrizer, you only have to pay a co-pay for our sessions once you meet your deductible instead of paying my full fee and waiting for reimbursement. This typically allows clients to save on average 70% on our sessions. During our intake process, I can help you verify if you have out-of-network benefits and how much your co-pay would be. ‍​

You can schedule a free phone consultation with me to begin your self improvement journey.

Please select a convenient time for me to contact you directly to discuss your specific needs, determine fit and logistics, and answer any questions you may have. If you are interested in individual or couple sessions, or therapy for a minor, this initial call may include one or all parties

My friends, happy new year!!! Happy 2025!! I came across this beautiful write up by Virginia Woolf. It was too honest and raw not to share. Stay ALIVE!!

“Whatever happens, stay alive. Don't die before you're dead. Don't lose yourself, don't lose hope, don't lose direction.

Stay alive, with yourself, with every cell of your body, with every fiber of your skin.

Stay alive, learn, study, think, read, build, invent, create, speak, write, dream, design.

Stay alive, stay alive inside you, stay alive also outside, fill yourself with colors of the world, fill yourself with peace, fill yourself with hope.

Stay alive with joy.

There is only one thing you should not waste in life, and that's life itself."

~Virginia Woolf

The holidays can be a tough time for many. While the season is often filled with celebrations, for some it brings up feelings of loneliness, stress, or loss. If you're finding it hard to navigate this time of year, you're not alone. It's okay to acknowledge when things are difficult, and it's okay to prioritize your mental health. If you've been thinking about therapy or reaching out for support, now might be the right time. Take care of yourself and remember that it's okay to ask for help when you need it. You deserve it. Please reach out, I’m happy to help.

If you ever have the opportunity to hear Cheryl Strayed speak- listen!!! Cheryl Strayed's words are pure wisdom. I was in complete awe last night at the Weinberg, as her speech was poignant and pure. As a therapist, I appreciate her ability to connect with people on a deeper level.

I’ve battled this inner dialogue “who am I to give advice”, and she answered it. CS said “who is really qualified to give advice? None of us are, but all of us are” and you need to trust your Clarity.

Another important point she made is we need to have more empathy, by starting with ourselves. We have to cultivate courage. Courage can be learned if it is fostered. I ask you, are being brave and having courage the same???

CS shared stories of her life, the audience was laughing, taking notes and truly hanging on to every word. So much of what she shared was relatable to everyone.

She also said “the one thing we have to do, is the one thing we can’t do”. The example she shared was, the one thing I have to do is “live without my mom” and the one thing I can’t do is “live without my mom”.

Thank you Cheryl Strayed for your everlasting words. 📚 ❤️

What makes the holidays so stressful?? Most of us can relate to the holiday stress at some level, too many commitments, school activities, travel, splitting time with family/friends..

If you experience family drama, conflict with parents this might be a great podcast for you. An old colleague and respected psychotherapist, Own Your Evolution shared this podcast, Healing from Emotionally Immature Parents with Lindsay C. Gibson. EIP, yes this is a thing! The segment provides how to understand parents who lack emotional maturity and why we might feel drained after spending time with a parent who is an EIP. The podcast is a great tool to listen and reflect. Bring questions to your next session and process the feelings of frustration, anger, guilt (just to name a few) that one might carry.
