Trusted Colleagues
Sometimes, the hardest part of starting therapy is simply knowing where to begin, especially if you’re looking for a therapist in another state. Whether you’re moving, live outside of where I’m licensed or need support in a specialty I don’t offer, I want to help you find care that feels safe, skilled and aligned with your needs.
Over the years, I’ve connected with many thoughtful and experienced colleagues across the country. Below, you’ll find a curated list of therapists I personally trust and recommend. Each of them offers compassionate, evidence-based care and holds values that reflect the heart of this practice: integrity, empathy and real healing.
Each therapist listed here operates their own private practice and welcomes direct inquiries. I encourage you to visit their websites to learn more about their therapeutic approach, availability and services offered.
