Biography: Hi and welcome to BetterHelp! I am so glad you took this step to reach out. You may be a little scared or not know what to expect. Allow me to introduce myself and what this experience might be like for you. My name is Tammy Kirschner and I have been a licensed psychologist since 1992. I have been providing therapy for 30 years and throughout my career, I have worked with clients experiencing acute or chronic depression, anxiety, relationship problems, family issues, low self-esteem, eating disorders, self-injurious behaviors and those who are in the midst of life's many transitions. I have also worked as a career consultant for both small and large organizations, helping individuals write resumes and teach job search skills. Right now, you may be feeling low, depressed, anxious, fearful or just plain "stuck". Your head may be spinning and you might be totally overwhelmed by so many thoughts and emotions. Or perhaps you just need someone who you can vent to, someone who will listen, support and guide you. Or maybe it is one of those times in life when too many challenges are converging at one time and you don't know what to do first. Whatever the case may be, please know that you are no longer alone. You've taken a very wise step in reaching out and together we can figure out what your needs are, what your goals are - even if they just are to feel better. How is this done? I provide support and validation, as I believe that these are the bedrocks of forming a good therapeutic relationship. I also use CBT, DBT, Behavioral Therapies, supportive therapy, motivational interviewing and solution-based interventions to help people make decisions. I have worked in a variety of environments include college counseling centers, outpatient clinics for anxiety and/or phobias, eating disorder groups, inpatient psychiatric hospitals and I have maintained a private practice. I am a warm, nonjudgmental and supportive therapist and do not believe that any one type of intervention will help every person with every problem. Most importantly, I strongly believe that the therapeutic relationship should be collaborative, and work with my clients as a team. I tend to be a creative brainstormer, believe that sometimes, laughter is the best medicine, and I take a pretty active and proactive approach to therapy. Together, we can organize your thoughts and work with whatever is feeling so overwhelming right now. I look forward to working with you and help support, guide and help you develop coping mechanisms that you can then use throughout your life. Let's get started!

Biography: Diversity is welcome in all forms. With extensive experience treating chronic depression and anxiety disorders, and specialize in supporting adults overcoming childhood trauma due to early exposure to abuse or growing up in unsupportive, unstable environments. For many, this manifests in daily challenges including difficulty connecting with others, attachment issues, emotional dysregulation/ unstable mood, problems staying focused or present, perfectionism/ self-criticism, low self esteem, harmful addictions, and a general persistent sense of unfulfillment. An environment free of shame and judgement will be created for you to feel every emotion- even the difficult ones. In session, you will have the space to process your experiences, build resilience, and move forward with a sense of power. You can expect skill building to include emotional regulation, communication, and learning to embrace your imperfections. The take away is reduced mental health symptoms, increased quality in relationships, and a sense of inner peace.

Care Philosophy: Talkspace partners with care providers who find satisfaction in providing therapy in a way that prioritizes the client's convenience and preferences. Because all therapy takes place virtually, through messaging, live virtual sessions, or both, providers can communicate more frequently and casually in comparison to traditional face-to-face therapy. Talkspace treatment methods are supported by scientific research and are committed to non-judgmental care that is inclusive and respectful of cultural and other identities. Talkspace patients are matched with the best provider for them based on their needs and availability during the registration process. Once matched with a provider, patients may change at any time, and may contact support to request a specific provider. *The above is attributed to Talkspace and not the provider.*

Biography: Therapy offers reflection and redefines what is possible in your life. For nearly two decades I have been in position to see a number of individuals and families take advantage of the opportunity that therapy provides to create functional responses to the ups and downs of being alive. The therapeutic relationship is sacred to me because it is through the client-therapist connection that the mirror of self-awareness becomes clear. It is not unusual for each member of the relationship to have their life touched and changed for the better. I see it as an honor and privilege whenever someone invites me into their life and their private thoughts. It is not our training or our education that makes us effective supporters of self-healing as much as it is our ability to create an environment of trust, honesty, and mutual understanding. Building this relationship and giving individuals the space to make decisions that support their emotional goals has been my area of expertise for quite some time. Whether you are dealing with depression, anxiety, family issues, existential angst, and even spiritual crisis, the therapeutic relationship can work in your favor.

Biography: I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor dedicated to empowering individuals to cultivate healthier relationshipswith themselves and with others. My approach focuses on helping clients reframe unhelpful thoughts, navigate life's stressors, and strengthen their capacity for self-care, self-esteem, and self-love. Through this work, my goal is to help you view your life with greater clarity, purpose, and vibrancy. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and a Master's degree in Rehabilitation and Mental Health Counseling, both from the University of South Florida. My clinical experience spans a wide range of concerns including addiction, attachment, grief, trauma, depression, anxiety, body image issues, postpartum and infertility challenges, gender identity, behavioral concerns, parenting, financial stress, weight management, and career transitions. I strive to create a safe, affirming space where meaningful growth and healing can take place.

Biography: The selection of a psychotherapist is an intensely personal private intimate decision. Therapy is about one thing: focused communication. With the appropriate modification of language, we can think differently. If we think differently, we can change behaviors. And if we consistently change behaviors, they can become long-term, therapeutic, healthy change. Yes, that journey begins with the first step. My journey began last century with graduate school and licensure. Spent many years working with our incarcerated brothers and sisters. Their needs are real and varied. Being on the "outside" doesn't mean you aren't still incarcerated. Spent over a dozen years working with a Native American community. So many needs and so little time. A very special time in my life working with all ages, all needs, often through the assistance of an interpreter. From that chapter, I moved into substance abuse eventually becoming clinical director at several programs. Sobriety like therapy is a day-to-day process and there is nothing wrong with that. Perfection is not possible but excellence is attainable! Lastly, as a former first responder, spent over a decade assisting that community with critical incident stress. Actually, earned a doctorate with the research we all generated together. Nothing quite prepares you for that profession and the significant costs it exacts but if you would just like the opportunity to be, in a kind of ministry of presence, that is one of the reasons I am here . . . And for all, sometimes absolutely the best therapy comes from being with someone in a special moment without saying a word. So, how bout it? Even if it is not me, will you continue your search and seek? Why? Because there are some people on this Earth who do not need to meet you, be in a relationship with you, who know without a shadow of a doubt you are special! Unique! You are worthy! And although it may not be fashionable, will tell you are loved! Enjoy your journey and take that step and just maybe our paths will cross. Looking forward to it . . .

Biography: I start with the assumption that every human being has a purpose and the ability to be a productive member of society. I believe that we all have an optimal self and that it is helpful to have someone act as a mirror and a support to keep moving toward that optimal self. I primarily utilize the practice of neuropsychotherapy, although this approach leaves room for most other theories under its umbrella. My approach often employs the theory and techniques of Person-Centered, Cognitive-Behavioral, Adlerian, and Existential therapies. I believe in a healthy mind, body, and soul, and in that vein, I provide counseling in spiritual matters tailored to each client's personal beliefs. I am proud of my formal education, and I obviously could not do this work without it. However, the key to my ability to help others has always been the education I've garnered through my own life experiences. I draw on both of these influences as appropriate.

Care Philosophy: If there's one crucial message I wish to convey to those hesitant about therapy, it's that regular mental health check-ups are as vital as dental or annual health check-ups. Seeking therapy isn't solely for those facing crises; it's a proactive step toward overall well-being. Just as we prioritize physical health, mental health is integral to a fulfilling life. Therapy offers a space for self-reflection, personal growth, and equips individuals with valuable tools to navigate life's challenges. It's an investment in your emotional health, fostering resilience and a more enriching existence.??
