Therapists that accept Cash Pay in Vermont

Hi, I’m Joe. I’ve worked in the mental health field for 27 years across substance use treatment, outpatient care, and hospital settings. I’ve supported individuals and families through crisis, transition, and long-term growth. I work well with young adults, adults, and families who are navigating stress, trauma, anxiety, depression, substance use, or major life changes. I also have extensive experience working with men who may struggle to express emotions directly and instead feel stuck in withdrawal, irritability, or self-doubt. As a veteran, I understand the mindset and pressures that can come with military life. Across all of my work, I aim to provide a grounded, steady presence where honesty, insight, and meaningful change can take place.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by a recent life transition, carrying the heavy weight of grief, or simply exhausted by daily stress and anxiety? Whether you are entering therapy for the first time or returning after a major shift, navigating these seasons can feel isolating and exhausting. You don't have to figure it all out alone. In our work together, I provide a grounding, warm, and structured space where you can catch your breath and feel truly heard. My approach combines practical coping tools with holistic, compassionate guidance to help you build clarity, confidence, and emotional stability. We will focus on helping you move through meaningful change with direction and resilience—at a pace that feels completely safe for you. Taking the first step toward support takes courage, and I am honored to help you navigate what comes next. Reach out today to schedule a session, and let's start building a clearer, more grounded path forward together.

Hello, I’m Kelly, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with nearly 20 years of experience helping adults navigate stress, anxiety, and depression. Throughout my career, my approach has remained rooted in empathy, authenticity, and collaboration. I strive to create a warm, non-judgmental space where you feel truly heard and respected. Together, we will focus on understanding what's weighing on you, reframing unhelpful patterns, and building practical tools to support your emotional well-being and confidence.

Welcome! I'm Lisa. First, I would like to take a moment to acknowledge you've taken the first step towards working on improving your mental health. I know starting therapy can be scary and empowering at the same time. During sessions, I strive to create a safe and welcoming environment that allows clients to explore obstacles with concerns related to their mental health including, but not limited to anxiety, depression, parenting challenges and everyday stressors. I focus on helping clients develop new strategies and boundaries in order to help improve their quality of life. I treat each client as an individual as there is no "cookie cutter" way of managing each individual's stressors and challenge. Counseling can foster personal development in whatever way you may be seeking and help build the life you so deeply deserve. If that's what you're looking for, I'm here when you're ready to share.

“Unconditional Positive Regard” - the idea of being accepted and supported, no matter what. Unconditionally. While it would be nice to always be surrounded by people who provide it, if you aren’t, you can find it in our space together. A firm believer in solution-focused, strengths-based, and action-oriented therapeutic approaches, Arika Adams, LCSW, has had over a decade of working with children and families who have experienced trauma, including significant work with adoptive families - particularly those adopting older children and perinatal women. Trained in Perinatal Mental Health, EMDR, and Trauma-focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy her goal is to help you feel empowered to make the decisions you feel will help you live your best life.

If you've been holding it together for a while and know something needs to shift, I can help you figure out what that looks like. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 11 years of experience, licensed in New Jersey, Oregon, and Vermont. I work with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and life transitions. My approach draws mainly on CBT and trauma-informed care, with mindfulness and other tools depending on what's useful for you. Some sessions are about building concrete coping skills. Others are slower: working through something hard, or looking at a pattern that's been running your life without much scrutiny. I won't hand you generic advice or push goals that aren't yours. My job is helping you see what you're already capable of, challenge the thinking that keeps you stuck, and build toward a life that actually fits. You're the expert on your own life. I bring the clinical tools.

My name is Andrew Penn (he/him) — a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Qualified Supervisor in Florida. You might be feeling lost, burnt out, or disconnected from who you are. Maybe you’ve tried to make changes but keep getting pulled back by stress, self-doubt, or habits that no longer serve you. I’m here to meet you where you are — with empathy, curiosity, and respect — and help you move toward the life you want. Taking the first step toward therapy can feel intimidating — and that’s okay. You don’t have to do it alone. Reach out today to schedule a time that works for you. Let’s start building a path toward the life you deserve.

I am a doctoral-level licensed clinical social worker with over a decade of experience supporting women through life's harder moments.

I believe good therapy meets you where you are. I practice in North Carolina, South Carolina, and Delaware via telehealth.

Greetings! I’m Sarah. I emphasize healing the mind and body by learning how to regulate the nervous system and build anchors to manage day-to-day stress and life’s unpredictable lows.

I am your co-pilot, and together we will utilize your strengths, build insight, and discover the amazing person that has been you all along.

My name is Miguel Lopez, a Hispanic male (He/Him/His) and U.S. Army combat veteran who brings a unique perspective to my work as a therapist. Fluent in Spanish and passionate about guiding people through life’s challenges, I hold a Master’s in Social Work from Walden University, a Bachelor’s in Criminal Justice from Colorado Technical University, and an Associate’s in Criminal Justice from Pikes Peak State College. With over a decade of experience as a caseworker, substance abuse counselor, and therapist, I’ve had the privilege of working with diverse clients facing real-life struggles and in need of daily support. Life can be tough, and we all face difficult moments—whether it’s a breakup, divorce, grief, the loss of a loved one or pet, or even a job loss. In these times, having an unbiased person to offer support can make a world of difference. I see trauma as an unexpected part of life that is often hard to process, but with the right help, it can be managed and overcome healthily. I’ve personally experienced more than my share of trauma, grief, loss, sadness, depression, and substance use, and I sought help to work through them. My approach to therapy is centered on helping people in the best way possible, always with an open mind. I often use Maslow’s hierarchy of needs as a guide, because I believe mental health is hard to prioritize when physical needs aren’t met, or issues like homelessness or substance abuse are present. I enjoy working with clients from age 5 to older adults who face Anxiety, Depression, Trauma, PTSD, Mood Disorders, Personality Disorders, and other mental health or substance use challenges. It’s easy to fight battles alone and suffer in silence, but you don’t have to anymore—together, we can work toward healing and a better future.

My approach to therapy is integrative, drawing from various evidence-based modalities with a focus on positive psychology, empowerment, active listening, mindfulness and equipping you with practical tools to navigate life's challenges.

Painful experiences often lead people to develop protective strategies to manage overwhelming emotions. These strategies may appear as perfectionism, emotional avoidance, anger toward loved ones, or repeated involvement in unhealthy relationships. While they can offer temporary relief, they often create disconnection from oneself and others, contributing to feelings of loneliness, shame, anxiety, and depression. I am dedicated to helping individuals strengthen their sense of self worth and process traumatic experiences that contribute to insecure attachment and unhelpful patterns. I believe that although emotional wounds often occur within relationships, healing also takes place through safe and supportive connection. With compassion, courage, and a willingness to explore difficult experiences, meaningful and lasting change is possible. Healing can happen, and there is always hope.
