Top Idaho adults therapists who accept cash payments

I have been an independent clinician since 2013 and in private practice since 2017. I strive to provide clients with a safe, calm, open therapeutic environment. I believe we are all individuals and there is no one size fits all approach. Therefore, I tailor therapeutic treatments to the need and the goals of my clients. I am painfully aware that some of life’s transitions can be difficult to cope with: be it a loss of a loved one, a new illness, a chronic illness, a disability, depression or just everyday life. Whatever the case may be, we all need help and somebody to talk to during our life’s journey. Some of the conditions I treat include chronic illnesses, disabilities, mental illness, trauma, post-traumatic stress disorder, grief and loss. I specialize in working with families who may have a member that is disabled as well as family situations. I am here to help you improve your journey through life. In my free time I enjoy spending time with my wife and our three children.

I believe everyone has the ability within themselves to become the person they want to be. In my 13 years as a licensed professional counselor, I have taken a person centered, strength based, and solution focused approach to therapy. My specialties include EMDR to help individuals work past traumatic experiences. Play therapy and family systems to help children and family systems improve ability to function in healthy ways.

In a world that continues to turn with or without us, we often wonder where we can get off in order to regroup. When we are expected to fulfill all of the everyday roles that we have taken on, we tend to lose touch with ourselves. My purpose is to provide an open, restorative and non-judgmental healing space for you. I am pleased to work with individuals who want help with anxiety, depression, trauma and grief. As well as providing support during life transitions, unexpected changes and personal growth. I don't believe in the cookie cutter approach, everyone is different and has different needs. I believe the client should have complete autonomy on their journey. I am here to support you as you move through healing from anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, anger management or even if you just need someone to listen. The goal for me is to make sure that the client feels welcomed, respected and safe. I look forward to walking with you on this new journey.

Are you feeling stuck in negative thoughts, intense emotions, or behavioral patterns that don't serve your best interest? Are you hoping to build more meaning and joy in your life? You may feel hesitant about reaching out for help, especially with pressure from all directions to "have it all together". I'm here to join you on this journey to discover healing and build a balanced life. My goal is to help you find compassion for yourself, develop skills to help you navigate life stressors, and be confident in the resilient person you are. I believe that therapy is not “one size fits all” when it comes to the type of approach that is being used. Although my background and approach is deeply rooted in behavioral approaches, I recognize that therapy needs to be tailored and personalized to help you reach your goals and full potential. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and have had the opportunity to work in the mental health and substance abuse field for over 5 years. I am professionally trained in Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT). I believe we are all unique and pull from multiple theories to best fit each client. I am available Monday through Thursday 3am - 10am.

After many years of doing traditional therapy, I have come to realize that what people want out of therapy is to find solutions to their problems, not to be re-traumatized by a repeated telling of their hurts. Sometimes, we get in our own way and need help understanding what isn’t working for us. I believe this is true for individuals, couples and teens. Me? Lots of training and continuing education. My clients describe me as warm, funny, insightful, and patient. I love being a therapist; it's an honor.

I work hard to meet people where they are at and to help them get to where they want to be in their lives, all without judgement. We have all had experiences that have led us to behaviors that are not always beneficial. I am straightforward and honest and look forward to helping you move forward in your life. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years’ experience. I am licensed in 6 states including Wisconsin, Idaho, Massachusetts, Florida, New Mexico and Illinois. I have a passion for helping those with trauma utilizing multiple methods. I am skilled in working with most mental health issues and utilize techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused and Client Centered Therapy. I have extensive experience working with individuals and their families that struggle with addiction issues. I received my bachelor’s in social work from University of Wisconsin Superior and my master’s in social work from Boise State University.

I think it’s helpful for my clients to know why I do this work. I come from a family with a lot of intergenerational trauma: war refugees, parental abandonment, sexual trauma, addiction, and suicide. My first step on the path to becoming a therapist was learning how to deal with my own anxiety and depression. Working in mental health treatment has led me to an understanding my own inner workings and it continually reminds me of where I can get myself into trouble. What keeps me in this field is a desire to share what I know and help others. My training is rooted in my experiences in wilderness and adventure therapy work. Living in small groups taught me about what it really means to be human. This perspective is beneficial to my clients’ relationships, it informs the self-care habits I teach, and it helps me in explaining why creating meaning guards us from mental health issues. I believe that clients’ unique cultural context and socio-economic experience should inform therapy.

I live in the mountains in Idaho and enjoy recreation like riding horses, hiking, and skiing. I have a BS in Secondary Education and MS in Counseling. I hold a clinical license in counseling and a school counselor certification. I have experience working with all ages. I have 10 years of experience with gerontology, eating disorders, adolescents, domestic violence trauma, veterans, inmates and probation/parole, women’s issues, and family systems. I use child-centered play therapy in childhood development, Autism Spectrum, attention deficits, divorce, and peer conflict. I use many approaches in counseling including Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Logotherapy, guided imagery, EMDR, and faith-based, and holistic therapies. I believe that there is hope in discovering our path and believe in helping individuals achieve goals in treatment. I look forward to hearing from you and how I might support your journey.

“The quality of our lives ultimately depends on the quality of our relationships.” This powerful insight from internationally renowned therapist Esther Perel reflects a truth I witness every day in my work as a therapist. The way we relate to ourselves deeply shapes how we connect with others—and those relationships, in turn, influence our sense of self worth, identity, well-being, and growth. I specialize in working with individuals and couples navigating anxiety, depression, stress, grief and loss, relationship and family dynamics, and personal growth. Whether you are seeking to heal from trauma, strengthen communication, or feel more confident in your relationships, I offer a supportive, tailored approach grounded in empathy and collaboration.

I am from Denver, Colorado and grew up in the Boise, Idaho area. I am a mom, wife, and lifelong learner. I like spending my free time crocheting, being active (paddle boarding, yoga, and walking are some of my favorites), reading, spending time with friends and family, and being in the mountains. Some of my favorite things are my fur babies, the ocean, and tacos. My Approach I believe people can grow and change when given the time and space to speak their truth and develop their personal insight. In my therapeutic approach I integrate various treatment modalities to fit each client’s individual needs and counseling goals within a calm and non-judgmental space. My goal as a therapist is to gain an understanding of your life, identify possible blind spots, hold space for you to process emotions and increase personal insight, and encourage life changes that promote a better quality of life.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and a wife, mother, and Air Force Veteran with a passion for working with trauma survivors. I served in the Air Force for 11 years and endured multiple deployments to various locations. As a Veteran, I understand the struggle of coming home from deployment and readjusting to "normal" life despite the experiences in a deployed location. It can be hard to find someone who understands the unique culture of military life. After my separation in 2011, I experienced the other side as a military spouse and found a true passion in helping my fellow veterans and their families navigate their journey through life. As someone who understands the struggles of dealing with anxiety and trauma experiences, I work hard for my clients to help them find peace and content in their lives and futures. I provide a safe, empathic, and understanding environment where we can explore your world, your struggles, and how to bring the darkness into light.

I believe that everyone is deserving of a safe place to work through life’s difficulties so I strive to create a warm, welcoming environment that promotes one’s highest potential. A holistic approach is utilized to demonstrate how powerful connectivity of the mind, body, and spirit can be in the healing process and with equipping oneself in successful goal achievement. I have walked alongside many young adults, mature adults, and couples through difficult periods of life, transitions, and choices. Therapy is viewed as a joint venture where combined knowledge and skills are used to determine the best path of treatment and successful outcomes across all gender, cultural, and sexuality spectrums. My therapeutic style is centered around respect, understanding, sincerity, and providing a unique perspective to any challenge experienced. My goal is to help people better understand themselves so they can feel more fulfilled as an individual, partner, and/or professional.

Life can be challenging. A lot of events and experiences happen unexpectedly, and it can be difficult to find a sense of control and tools to support yourself.
