Facing life’s challenges?

We are composed exclusively of licensed clinical psychologists with advanced doctoral training. We are deeply committed to evidence-based care delivered with compassion, thoughtfulness, and clinical excellence. In addition to high-quality therapy, we offer a highly supportive and well-organized experience from your first call forward, ensuring you feel informed, cared for, and confident that you are in capable hands.

Yes. Every therapist on our team is a licensed clinical psychologist with a Ph.D. or Psy.D. and advanced training in evidence-based approaches, including CBT, trauma-informed care, relationship work, and support through life transitions.

We believe therapy should offer focused guidance when you need it most, especially during times when going it alone can feel overwhelming or hopeless. Using action-oriented, empirically supported approaches, we help clients find meaningful relief from symptoms while building practical skills that support lasting resilience and long-term success beyond therapy.

Our psychologists hold doctoral degrees and have advanced clinical training, allowing us to provide empirically supported, action-oriented therapy tailored to your needs. We combine warmth and collaboration with clear goal-setting and practical tools you can use right away. This structured, thoughtful approach goes beyond talk therapy to support meaningful change, lasting resilience, and progress that continues beyond the therapy room.

We use action-oriented approaches, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), an evidence-based, practical approach that helps you make meaningful changes in your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Our aim is to help you build skills and insights that support not only short-term relief, but long term success and lasting resilience beyond therapy.

We don’t offer brief consultation calls with therapists. Instead, we offer a free 15-minute Matching Call with our Client Care Coordinator to help you find the therapist that best fits your needs, preferences, and availability.

We’ve found that short calls with therapists aren’t the most helpful way to assess fit. A full intake session offers a more meaningful sense of what therapy will actually be like and allows you to begin the work in a thoughtful, supportive way. If you’d like more guidance before getting started, you may find it helpful to read How to Find the Right Therapist.

Yes. Therapy Changes and its providers are in-network with Aetna, Cigna and Evernorth, and Healthnet (MHN). We will work with you to help you understand your benefits and coverage options so you can make an informed decision about your care. We also offer private pay, which many clients choose for increased privacy and greater discretion in your care. Making a private pay arrangement with your therapist keeps your diagnosis and case notes confidential and out of third-party systems. This may be particularly important to individuals with professional licenses, government workers, or others in sensitive positions who wish to limit the disclosure of mental health information.
