Hi, I'm a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in Kentucky, working with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, and substance use. I know reaching out for therapy takes real courage, and my goal is to make our first conversation feel grounded and easy. When I'm not in session I'm usually writing, hiking, or keeping up with my grandkids — I believe therapy works best when it feels like a genuine human conversation, not a script. If you're looking for a warm, non-judgmental space to work through what's weighing on you.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right addiction counselor for you

Headway makes it easier to find support for overcoming addiction — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Addiction Therapist in Lexington, KY

Finding addiction therapists in Lexington starts with understanding what kind of support fits your needs. Addiction care can include support for alcohol use, drug use, prescription substance concerns, gambling, or other behavioral patterns. Some therapists focus on motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, harm reduction, or relapse prevention planning. Some people also work with a prescriber as part of their care team, depending on their needs and goals.

Lexington has a steady mental health care community, and the right fit may depend on more than specialty alone. You may want a therapist with in-person availability near your usual routine, or you may prefer virtual sessions if travel, work, or privacy shape your schedule. Recovery can change over time, so it can help to look for a therapist who describes a non-judgmental style, experience with harm reduction, and clear session structure. Reading bios can show how each therapist talks about addiction care, substance use, motivation, and long-term support before you book.

Therapy in Lexington can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand your expected out-of-pocket expense before starting care. Headway helps you find addiction therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, offer virtual or in-person appointments, and have availability for new clients. You can compare profiles, check estimated costs, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you or someone you know is experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms — especially from alcohol or benzodiazepines — talk to a medical provider or seek emergency care before starting outpatient therapy. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction or substance use and is in a crisis, immediately reach out to:

* 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline — call or text 988 * SAMHSA National Helpline — 1-800-662-HELP (4357), free, confidential, 24/7 * Crisis Text Line — text HOME to 741741
