Top virtual Idaho therapists and psychiatrists who accept cash payments

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.

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 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 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.

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. Even when life feels confusing, the weight of pressure or expectations feels heavy, or you aren’t sure what next steps to try and navigate, I know that you have strength and resilience. Simply reaching out and starting the process is empowerment in action. Together, we can discover and refine the strengths and resources you have to better serve you and enhance your confidence in managing life stressors. I can’t change past or present stressors and hardships, but I am here to walk alongside you. I aim to provide a safe and secure place to process emotions, events, or relationships causing distress. Together we can explore strategies that foster acceptance, develop coping skills, and uncover solutions aligned with your goals and values. I operate from a client-centered approach that focuses on the person and the systems they interact with. I integrate techniques from CBT, Grief Therapy, ACT as well as emotion-focused and somatic awareness. I’ve guided clients with Grief/Loss, Bereavement, Anxiety, Depression, Life Transitions, Workplace Difficulties, Chronic Disease and other presenting issues. It takes courage to reach out for support, and I commend you for taking this step! Together, let’s embark on a journey of growth, healing, and hope.

Hi! I’m Kimberley. At my core, I'm a therapist, but I'm also a mom and a military spouse. We all know therapy is intimidating. That's why, as a therapist, I do everything possible to be relatable - I want to understand your world the way you see it. Whether you’ve been struggling for a day, a year, or a lifetime, my goal is to guide you through navigating life’s challenges while exploring all of the things that make you who you are. From anxiety and depression to trauma and relationship trouble, I’m here to help you create the life you want to be living, on your terms.

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 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’m Rachel Thornburg, a genuine person facing my own challenges, just like my clients, which is why I adopt an informal style to help them feel comfortable. While I work efficiently, I guide clients with compassion and understanding. My greatest strength comes from the trauma I’ve experienced, enabling me to empathize deeply with their struggles. I devote a lot of my time to video games, proudly calling myself a gamer, even if I'm not the best. I love the great outdoors, dreaming of camping trips with fishing galore. I have a vocal music minor which means I enjoy music that tells stories and has beautiful harmonies where I am able to sing along. During my degree journey, I stumbled upon an incredible chance to work in an outpatient program with court-mandated clients facing addiction. This experience created a profound passion for helping individuals break free from addiction and embrace recovery. This experience has sharpened my ability to understand my clients' needs, explore their challenges, and customize their recovery paths, fostering hope for a brighter tomorrow. In my career, I've had the joy of supporting teens, adults, couples, and various groups. While I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I blend in other methods too. Lately, I've been exploring Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which shows great promise. Above all, I prioritize tuning into my clients' needs with empathy, creating space for both tears and laughter.

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.
