Remedy C. says, "A moving experience that has completely changed my family's life, as well as my own, for the better. I show up, and I do the work for me. And because I've given myself fully to the work, I've lost the very things I'd been plagued and gained the one thing I thought I'd lost. Do the work, commit to the process; find the present again.

A.B. says, "Lisa, Thank you for your professional support in my life at a time I really needed it most. (Actually several times)…. The meditations and calming music in most sessions helps me to step away from my hectic life, and focus on ME just for that moment in time. Truly, I am blessed to have you as a supportive Counselor, in a number of my life situations, to have some clarity on confronting, resolving, and understanding my part in the process.. I am continuously learning and being HUMAN. Thank you so much, Blessings, A.B." Read more

I strive to create a supportive space for clients to engage in healing and personal growth and offer a gentle and honest approach to facilitating change and self-discovery by asking important questions to better understand any issues my client may be going through at the time. I believe that the relationship between an individual and their therapist is very important for a successful treatment experience, I will work with and guide you throughout this process to mobilize your capacity for healing (I offer spiritual healing as well) and self-care.

Your Therapy and Counseling questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Thervo.

How much does therapy cost?

Therapy costs $100 to $250 per session if not covered by insurance, depending on the therapist's experience or specialty, therapy type, and 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 $60 per session for the copay.

Online therapy costs $50 to $110 per week and typically includes support through texting, phone, or online chat. Some plans include one or two live video sessions per week with a licensed therapist.

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?

Reviews for Portland therapists

Recent success stories from people in the Portland area.
Shana S.
The Awakened Method has helped me reflect on traumatic childhood experiences and understand how they are still affecting me today, such as how I handle stressful situations. This method has provided tools I can use when dealing with anxiety and thus change my typical reactions. I'm able to self-regulate and respond to others in more caring ways, especially in situations where previously I may have been impatient or angry. I'm also feeling a positive shift in my relationship with my daughter as I'm more mindful of being fully present with her when she needs my attention as opposed to being elsewhere in thought. With the Awakened Method, I'm essentially learning that it's okay to slow down, take a breath, reflect and be present in the moment so that I'm better equipped in responding to others, making thoughtful decisions and feeling more connected to people I care about most.
