Some pain doesn't get easier with time. It just gets more familiar.

I work with people who have been carrying something heavy for a long time: survivors of childhood neglect and trauma, people navigating the aftermath of sexual, physical, emotional, or religious violence, and those whose sense of self has been fractured by relational or spiritual betrayal. I also work with Veterans living with PTSD, depression, and substance use, and with thoughtful professionals seeking deep, ongoing therapy to work through disrupted beliefs or a life that has lost its meaning. My practice is open to people across the full lifespan, including children and adolescents.

Kevin Riffel

Therapist

I'm a blind, loving, funny, and sincere person. I'm imperfect and have learned to be (mostly) okay with it. Growing up with a degenerative eye disease left me with a weight on my chest of fighting what my body was doing and trying to convince everyone I was fine, when I wasn't. I think we're all trying to hide ourselves from ourselves and from others and it is complete nonsense. Every part of you is welcome, even the parts you hate about yourself or that others find difficult. Often the parts of us we fight against are there for a very good reason. Once we show those parts love and respect we can start to be okay.

My day job is as a Director of Telehealth Programming at a WA non-profit community mental health agency. I've been providing therapy for 12 years, a supervisor/director for 8 years and trained and presented on play therapy locally and nationally.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Boise

> Searching for therapists in Boise starts with knowing what kind of support you want. Boise therapists may focus on concerns like anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, stress, or major life changes. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties match your needs. Their bio can also show whether they use approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or acceptance and commitment therapy. > > Boise has a growing mental health care community, with options across areas like Downtown, the North End, the Bench, and nearby suburbs. In-person sessions may work well if you want a therapist office near you, while virtual appointments can add more choice if your schedule or location makes travel harder. To narrow your search, compare appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand how each therapist describes their style, session structure, and experience. > > Therapy in Boise can be expensive without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower your session cost and understand what you may pay before you book. Headway helps you search for Boise therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, view estimated out-of-pocket costs, and book directly when you are ready.
