Emily M. says, "I reached out to Jen for guidance during a chaotic time in my life. I was struggling with my health, unsatisfied in my relationship and burnt out in my career. I enrolled in Jen's Resilient Practitioner Program. Although therapy I had received prior to this was beneficial, Jen was able to provide a different kind of support. Her therapy background and somatic coaching mixed with yogic philosophy was just what I needed. I slowly began to learn how to listen to my body and become more aware of what it was telling me. While the work was not easy, it was very effective. After about 6 months working with Jen one-on-one and in supportive group sessions, I started to realize how far I had come. Now, I am passionate about my field again, on the way to starting my own business. I am happier than I've ever been in my marriage. I have built the resiliency to take on whatever challenges comes my way thanks to Jen and Mind Body Awareness. You will find Jen to be gentle, yet encouraging, intuitive and kind hearted - the perfect match on any healing journey."See more

Emily R. says, "Let’s just say I’ve had a lot of therapists in my life. And I can say without a doubt that Jonathan is special. My husband and I have been seeing him for couples counseling. First, he was the first person to call me back out of the many I reached out to. And I mean within minutes of my outreach. Then, he talked to me for a long time for free to see if it was a good fit. The conversation was a true connection, and I could tell that he really cares about what he’s doing, and that he has the gift. He does this cool thing where one week he sees us together and the next, he sees us individually. I really like his philosophy of each of us doing the deep work on ourselves in order to bring everything we’re capable of to the table in marriage. He has insights and relatability, he’s very smart and funny, and most of all, we leave therapy on good footing, as opposed to in an argument like we did with previous therapists. He makes you think more deeply about yourself, always asks the best questions that really get to the root of the issue. His experience and knowledge really shine, he’s a tremendous listener, and he remembers details of things we said weeks ago. We always feel so much better after seeing Jonathan, and we truly look forward to each session. The guy is worth his weight in gold. I can’t recommend him highly enough! Jonathan, our gratitude for your care is endless, and thank you is not enough!"See more

Tamara H. says, "Tamara was AWESOME. She was so on the head with a lot of information that there was literally no way she could've known if she wasn't the real deal. Most readings can be kind of vague but not with Miss Tamara! I loved how even though there were some troubling things about my past that she had to express, she would always state that she meant no offense, & there was NONE taken! She was so sweet & gentle tho. She kept it very professional the whole time & I don't feel there was any gimmicks. I just got a good vibe & feeling when I ran across her profile specifically & I'm glad I listen to my intuition. She will not disappoint. I also love how she incorporated Bible scriptures to help me with my spiritual strength. 10/10 - 100% recommend!"See more

Q & A

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Thumbtack.

What are the types of psychologists?

Psychologists are healthcare professionals who use scientific methods to understand the relationships between the brain, environment and behavior. Psychologists may focus on research — studying how the brain and various environments drive behaviors to better understand the issues that trouble patients and society as a whole — or they may focus on practice — interacting with people using therapeutic methods. The American Psychological Association shares some of the more prevalent types of psychologists:

  • Clinical psychologists assess and treat mental, emotional and behavioral disorders.
  • Cognitive and perceptual psychologists study human perception, thinking and memory.
  • Community psychologists work to strengthen the abilities of communities, settings, organizations and broader social systems to meet people’s needs — such as improving support for victims of natural disasters, or working to improve health policies.
  • Counseling psychologists help people understand and take action on everyday issues, career and work problems, and serious adversity.
  • Developmental psychologists study the psychological development of the human being throughout life.
  • Educational psychologists concentrate on how effective teaching and learning take place.
  • Engineering psychologists conduct research on how people work best with machines.
  • Environmental psychologists study the dynamics of how people interact with their environments.
  • Evolutionary psychologists study how evolutionary principles such as mutation, adaptation and selective fitness influence human thought, feeling and behavior.
  • Experimental psychologists study cognitive processes, comparative psychology (cross-species comparisons), and learning and conditioning.
  • Forensic psychologists apply psychological principles to legal issues.
  • Health psychologists specialize in how biological, psychological and social factors affect health and illness.
  • Industrial/organizational psychologists apply psychological principles and research methods to the workplace to improve productivity, health and the quality of work life.
  • Neuropsychologists and behavioral neuropsychologists explore the relationships between brain systems and behavior.
  • Quantitative and measurement psychologists focus on methods and techniques for designing experiments and analyzing psychological data.
  • Rehabilitation psychologists work with stroke and accident victims, people with mental disabilities, and those with developmental disabilities caused by such conditions as cerebral palsy, epilepsy and autism.
  • School psychologists assess and counsel students, consult with parents and school staff, and conduct behavioral interventions when appropriate.
  • Social psychologists study how a person’s mental life and behavior are shaped by interactions with other people.
  • Sport psychologists help athletes refine their focus on competition goals, become more motivated, and learn to deal with anxiety and fear of failure around competition.

What is a psychologist?

A psychologist is a professionally trained mental health professional who helps patients navigate challenging life situations or mental health issues. To become a psychologist you must earn a doctoral degree; qualifying degrees include a Ph.D., Psy.D. or Ed.D. To actively practice, a psychologist must be licensed in their state and maintain good standing. Psychologists are trained to administer tests that can evaluate a patient’s cognitive strength and weaknesses, intellectual skills, vocational aptitude and preference, personality characteristics, and neuropsychological functioning, explains the American Psychological Association (APA).

A psychologist meets with patients in an office and may work with a variety of methods, depending on patient need, such as cognitive, behavioral or interpersonal.  According to the APA, common reasons a person may visit a psychologist include:

  • Dealing with depression, anger or anxiety over a long period of time.
  • Help with a chronic condition that is interfering with their lives or physical health.
  • Help with grieving and other abrupt transitions.
  • Overcoming addictions.
  • Managing chronic illness.
  • Breaking old and harmful patterns of thinking or behavior.

Can a clinical psychologist write prescriptions?

To be able to write a prescription, a clinical psychologist must practice in a state that permits them to do so, and must either have a master’s degree in psychopharmacology or have completed the required advanced training program. According to the American Psychological Association (APA), five states currently permit psychologists to write prescriptions: Idaho, New Mexico, Illinois, Iowa and Louisiana. Many psychologists who are not able to write prescriptions work in partnership with psychiatrists, pediatricians or primary care doctors to help their patients who need medication.

How much do therapists cost?

If you are experiencing a challenging time, have mental health difficulties, or just want professional guidance as you move through life, a therapist can provide relief, tools and structure. The national average cost for a therapist is $80-$100 per hour, although prices may be higher or lower depending on geographic location and the experience and training of the therapist.

Psychiatrists, psychologists and licensed therapists are all health professionals who offer various modalities of therapy. Ask questions about the type of therapy they specialize in (such as cognitive or behavioral, etc.) and their area of expertise (such as grief, anxiety, body image disorders, etc.) to help you find the right fit for your needs. Therapy sessions are typically 50-60 minutes long.  The patient usually meets with the therapist in their office; sessions may also be held remotely (via Skype, etc.) or in a clinical setting. Psychologists, psychiatrists and other therapists who have earned advanced degrees will typically charge higher rates than other licensed therapists. Depending on your diagnosis, your health insurance may cover your therapy costs.
