I have been in private practice as a therapist for 30+ years. I am easy to talk to, and am quite interactive with my clients. I am adept at helping my clients get to the root of their issues, and most tell me they begin to feel better and more hopeful after just a few sessions. I love my work! It is truly an honor to accompany my clients through this very personal process. It is gratifying to help them heal, and get to a point where their symptoms are no longer hindering their growth....

Nazia S. says, "I can't praise my therapeutic experience enough—it's been nothing short of transformative. I needed help with emotional imbalances, sleep issues, and anger management, and the results have exceeded my wildest expectations. First and foremost, Shak has played an important role in helping me regain emotional equilibrium. His guidance, wisdom, and unwavering support have been the cornerstone of my healing journey. Through his compassionate approach, I have learned to navigate and overcome the emotional challenges that once seemed impossible. Sleep used to be a battleground for me, but with his guidance, I have witnessed a remarkable improvement in sleep quality and my sleep cycle. The peaceful nights I now enjoy have not only restored my physical well-being but also had a profound impact on my mental clarity and overall outlook on life. Dealing with anger had been a longstanding struggle, but his expert strategies and techniques have empowered me to manage this emotion positively. I have gained control over my reactions and have cultivated a sense of inner peace that has transformed my personal and professional relationships and daily life. Most importantly, this therapeutic journey has helped me become a better version of myself. I have uncovered a depth of self-awareness and personal growth that I didn't think was possible. The tools and insights I have acquired during these sessions extend far beyond the therapy room, enriching every aspect of my life. Shak demonstrated the qualities of kindness, compassion, and professionalism to the highest degree. His ability to create a safe and non-judgmental space allowed me to open up and explore my inner world. His dedication to my well-being is obvious in every session. You must believe this, I wholeheartedly recommend Shak and Causality Care to anyone seeking emotional balance, better sleep, anger management, and personal growth. The journey may be challenging at times, but with the right guide, like the one I found, the possibilities for transformation are limitless. Thank you for helping me rediscover the best version of myself." Read more

Your Therapy and Counseling questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Thervo.

How much does therapy cost?

Therapy costs $50 to $250 per session if not covered by insurance, depending on your location. Prices are on the high end of the range in major metropolitan areas like Los Angeles and New York. The average cost of therapy with insurance is $20 to $50 per session for the copay.

Online therapy membership plans cost $40 to $70 per week and typically include 24-hour support through texting, phone, video, or online chat.

Can therapists prescribe medication?

Therapists are licensed psychologists or counselors but are not medical doctors, and in most states in the U.S. they are not allowed to prescribe medication. Only five states allow licensed psychologists to prescribe medication—Idaho, Illinois, Iowa, Louisiana, and New Mexico—and psychologists in these states must complete additional psychopharmacology training and certification.

In the rest of the U.S., only a medical doctor can prescribe medication. Psychiatrists attend medical school and can prescribe medication, but they typically do not provide talk therapy or counseling services.

Can a therapist diagnose ADHD, autism, depression, or other conditions?

A licensed therapist can give a mental health diagnosis in all states except Indiana and Maine. However, the therapist must refer clients to a psychiatrist or other medical doctor if the condition requires medication. Consult a therapist near you if you have concerns about ADHD, anxiety, depression, autism, or other mental health conditions.

Can I use my Health Savings Account (HSA) for therapy?

You can use your HSA or FSA for therapy if you have a billable diagnosis—such as depression or bipolar disorder—and the therapy is deemed medically necessary. You can't use your HSA or FSA for marriage or family counseling, grief counseling, or therapy for stress management.

Can I see my therapist while traveling?

You can see your therapist while traveling only if your therapist is licensed or legally permitted to practice in the state you're physically located in at the time of the session. Not all states allow interstate therapy practice. Check with your therapist before you leave to confirm they can provide telehealth services across state lines.

How often should I go to therapy?

Most therapists recommend starting with one session per week. After your first session, your therapist will work with you to decide on a schedule that will most benefit you. Some issues require only a few sessions, while others require more extensive treatment.

How can I choose the best therapist near me?

When seeking therapy or mental health care, follow these tips to help you find the right therapist for you:

First consider the type of therapy you'd prefer. Common therapy styles and modalities include:

  • Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)
  • Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT)
  • Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy
  • Psychodynamic therapy
  • Humanistic therapy
  • Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy

Choose therapists who specialize in treating your condition. Then:

  • Ask for recommendations from your medical provider.
  • Read reviews on Thervo and Google.
  • Confirm the therapist is licensed to practice in your area.
  • Meet with the therapist for an initial session to make sure their personality and treatment style is a good fit for you.

What questions should I ask therapists?

Ask these questions to help you find a therapist who is the best fit for you:

  • How long have you been practicing, and what are your certifications?
  • What therapy style or modalities do you practice?
  • What is your philosophy as a therapist?
  • What does a typical therapy session look like?
  • Are you more directive or guiding as a counselor?
  • Do you give homework or reading assignments?
  • How do you determine success in therapy?
  • What is your success rate in treating past clients with this issue?
  • Will you see me if I run into problems between sessions?

I can't express how grateful I am for the therapy I received today. Shak truly transformed my life! He is not only an expert but also an incredibly professional and compassionate human being. His holistic approach has brought me emotional and physical relief I thought I would never find. I feel like a whole new person. Thank you, Shak, and see you soon…

I feel Robert Malloy is on top of his game. He is responsive to any questions very straight and to the point which is appreciated. He is conscious of my money and my needs regarding my divorce.
