Top in-person Idaho adults therapists who accept cash payments

Hey, I'm so glad you're here! As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I believe strengthening your mental health is very important for a happy and healthy lifestyle. Majority of my experience I've spent working in the school system with children ages 3-18. The children that I worked with struggled with issues such as anxiety, depression, adjustment disorders, ADHD and ODD. My experience with working with adults, I have had the opportunity in assisting with parenting issues, relationship issues, adjustment disorders, work related issues and many more. I enjoy working along side of my clients while they work to accomplish whatever their goal maybe.

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.

My background as an international aid worker supporting people impacted by war has given me experience in working within a wide range of cultures, beliefs, and traumatic impacts that significantly inform my current work as a therapist. My love of dance has led me to incorporate mind-body awareness and connection in therapy, and I pay attention to the ways that physical health and nutrition impact emotional and mental wellbeing. I love working with clients who are ready to deeply explore who they really are and what they truly desire in life. My approach is highly intuitive and responsive to the unique needs, worldview, and spiritual perspectives of the client to meet them where they are in their journey. Together we discover and heal the wounds, beliefs, patterns and symptoms that keep the client from thriving.

As a Clinical Mental Health Counselor, I encourage individuals, couples, and families to heal and grow through processing and learning skills to overcome obstacles, change behaviors, and realize a sense of self worth. If you are going through a life change and need help understanding it, have experienced trauma and need help healing, or are living with a diagnosis and want to learn skills to help you in life reach out, let us create a plan. What happened to you yesterday may be affecting you today. Together we can uncover your truths, your strengths, your path. You may learn to apply your values and boundaries to every part of life. The answers to your life are buried inside of you. Only you know the details. Together we can uncover what you are looking for. Together we will create a plan designed especially for you in a safe place, without judgment, honoring your uniqueness, your culture, beliefs, and experiences.

I enjoy working with clients age 14+. Having counseled clients globally with concerns related to self, relationships, family, pre-marital, marital, employment, finances, depression, anger, medication management, bi-polar disorder, weight management, mental health screening and more fall within the spectrum of expertise. I am open to meeting with you and learning about how we can work together to yield an excellent outcome. I offer virtual and in-person sessions. Let's make your family whole and help you to live your best life. I value shaping minds & changing lives, one at a time. My modality is an integrative therapy model wherein we explore multiple options to find each client's happy place. Each person is unique therefore each treatment plan is custom tailored. I focus on the whole person treating each with their own goals and objectives.

Hi there, I love providing a safe space and secure connection with the client. When this is in place, one can process vulnerabilities, explore new possibilities and practice change while feeling supported. Each person is part of a system. By identifying and using your individual strengths, we can help you build long-lasting results. I hold my clients accountable for their progress with compassion. I am trained in several modalities including Motivational Interviewing, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Internal Family Systems, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, and trauma informed Accelerated Resolution Therapy with roots in EMDR. When working with individuals, professionals, couples and families, I’ll use an integrative model of change. Basically, I’ll incorporate the best parts of this knowledge base to help you meet your goals. I love learning and am currently enrolled in the year long Couple’s Developmental Model training certification. I live in Wyoming with my family and embrace the beauty and chaos that is life. No judgment.

For more than a decade, I have served as a mental health professional, working with individuals of all ages. I have a passion to serve individuals battling mental health conditions, such as depression and anxiety. I also specialize in providing support and education for women with polycystic ovary syndrome—who are often misdiagnosed, overlooked, and misunderstood. As your therapist, I will meet you where you are and assist you in learning emotional tools to increase self-care and positive self-talk, and decrease stress, anxiety, low motivation, sadness, and hopelessness. We will partner together to improve your mood and overall sense of wellness. Using evidence-based therapies, I will empower you to disrupt negative thoughts and behaviors, as well as identify your strengths and abilities to achieve your goals. As my client, you will be seen and understood because you and your feelings are valid. So, let’s get started in this meaningful work of building a life you deserve.

Emotions often govern our behavior—sometimes leading us into familiar, unhelpful patterns. My mission is to help clients gain clarity, understanding, and control—not through suppression, but through compassionate awareness: “Is your emotional life running the show? Let’s shift the dynamic—embrace your emotions, not fight them.” -Ivy J. Felder My therapeutic approach is nonjudgmental and proactive, focused on honoring emotions while fostering change in a way that safeguards one's self-esteem and personal growth.

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.

I help individuals who feel disconnected from themselves— caught in patterns of people-pleasing, overthinking, or losing their voice in relationships. If you're questioning who you are beyond the roles you’ve played, therapy can be a space to explore that. My approach is collaborative and trauma-conscious, blending talk therapy with somatic practices like EMDR and movement. I support clients in reconnecting with their bodies, boundaries, and inner clarity to become a more grounded, authentic version of themselves. Outside of work, I love puzzles, jumping rope, being in nature, and spending time with my family.
