are you exhausted from trying to think your way out of sensory sensitivity, burnout & anxiety?

My definition of what is a Psychotherapist is a professional who offers psychological & emotional processing to clients. They will hold a Master’s degree, have completed supervised client hours & hold a license in their field of psychology. A psychotherapist will engage in continued education yearly.

Psychotherapists should either be trained in particular modalities in graduate school or learn distinct modalities post graduation. In my opinion, this is the difference between a counselor & a psychotherapist….a psychotherapist specializes in particular therapy modalities & has completed advanced training in those modalities.

Further, a Contemplative Psychotherapist (which is my field of training) will engage in meditative practices, continued self-awareness practices & retreat.

I work with Individuals 19 & up 1-on-1, all genders, all religions, all sexual orientations, all races/cultural identities.

My specialty is working with neurodivergent folks who are wanting support with high-sensitivity, burnout & anxiety.

That includes undiagnosed & late-diagnosed ADHD, Autism & AuDHD as well as those who were diagnosed in childhood.

I do not work with anyone under the age of 19.

I refer out for the following:

-Medications/Medication Management

-Active Substance Use/Addictions

-Eating Disorders

Counselor: a broadly used term, you'll need to look at credentials & education to know how someone is using this title.

Psychotherapist: a term that is usually used by individuals who have completed a Master's degree in Counseling Psychotherapy, Marriage & Family Counseling or Clinical Social Work. Someone using this term is also likely to be licensed in their state of practice or to use a label such as "unlicensed psychotherapist" if they have the education, but are working towards licensure.

Psychologist: this term usually indicates someone who has reached PhD level & who may have engaged in specific research or continues to contribute to research. Licensing varies by state for clinical or counseling psychologists, so you'll need to look at training & education to know exactly what training this person has.

Psychiatrist: this term indicates a medical degree & a level of mental health professional who prescribes medication. Psychiatrists often don't offer counseling or therapy, but some do.

Coach: coaches are not licensed or regulated & are not mental health providers. There's nothing to stop anyone from using the term coach even if they have zero training. There are training programs for coaches, but the content, length & requirements vary broadly. You will need to look at the specific training the individual has to know what experience they have.

I do not offer hands-on bodywork or energy medicine.

I am trained in Reiki, but I do not offer that in my practice.

I have many years of training in Shamanic work, but as much as it informs my work with parts…I do not offer formal “soul retrieval” with drumming and such.

No. I see clients of all faith, religious & non-religious backgrounds & practices.

Maybe some things you can find on an app if you'd like to randomly choose things and hope they work for you. My experience is that most people don't really know what they are looking for or what would help their situation & end up wasting time & energy.

​ Another way to think about it is...if you want to learn Jazz Dance (which requires a lot of technique) you could watch a video on Youtube & learn some things, you could take a Jazz dance class & learn even more or you could work with a dance instructor 1-on-1 & progress much further than you could on your own.
