Finding the right therapist can be hard — especially across borders or time zones.
If you or someone you know is looking for care from someone licensed in the US, or need support in an area outside my scope, I want to help you find trusted options.
Below, you’ll find a handpicked list of skilled colleagues based in the United States. Each of them offers compassionate, evidence-based care and shares core values that reflect my own: presence, integrity, and real connection.
They each run their own private practice and welcome direct inquiries — feel free to visit their websites to learn more.
