Hi, glad you're here! My name is Mariko, and I work with adolescents and adults who are navigating grief, anxiety, family conflict, relationship concerns, and the impact of earlier life experiences that continue to show up in the present.
I have experience working with clients across the lifespan, from children through adults, though I especially enjoy working with young adults as they work through relationships, identity, and major life transitions. My background includes supporting clients through trauma, grief and loss, mood-related concerns such as depression and anxiety, and challenges related to self-esteem and body image.
You don't have to keep carrying the weight of what happened to you. Healing is possible.
Hi, I'm Rachel, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who specializes in helping adults heal from trauma, PTSD, anxiety, and the lasting effects of difficult life experiences.
Many of my clients come to me feeling exhausted. They've spent years trying to push through painful memories, quiet their anxiety, or make sense of experiences that continue to affect their relationships, confidence, sleep, or ability to feel like themselves. Some have tried therapy before but still feel stuck. Others have never talked about what happened because it simply felt too overwhelming.
Wherever you are in your journey, you don't have to face it alone.
As a therapist trained in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART®), I offer an evidence-based approach that can help reduce the emotional impact of traumatic memories—often in fewer sessions than traditional talk therapy. One of the things many clients appreciate most about ART® is that you don't have to describe every painful detail of your trauma to experience meaningful healing. Together, we'll work toward helping you feel less overwhelmed by the past so you can be more present in your life today.
I believe therapy should be a place where you feel genuinely seen, heard, and accepted. My style is warm, compassionate, and collaborative, and I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental environment where healing can happen at a pace that feels comfortable for you.
Imagine waking up without constantly feeling on edge. Imagine memories no longer having the same emotional grip on you. Imagine feeling more like yourself again. That kind of change is possible, and it would be an honor to help you get there.
If you're ready to begin your healing journey, I'd love to walk alongside you.
It is my joy in life to help my clients re-discover their true self. We do this together by challenging old paradigms that get us stuck. As we uncover the true self, I will also help you develop new skills for coping as you move from surviving to thriving. I am a Master's level Professional Counselor, comprehensively trained in DBT, IFS, and NARM.
Hi! I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor (LCADC). I specialize in supporting individuals dealing with addiction, mental health concerns, and life transitions. I work with adults struggling with anxiety, depression, substance use, trauma, and relationship challenges. I use evidence-based therapies like CBT, Motivational Interviewing (MI), and trauma-informed care, always tailored to your unique needs.
I’m here to help you feel supported and empowered as you work toward a healthier, more balanced life.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Kentucky. I have been in practice for 18 years. For the last 12 years, I have worked with clients in an outpatient setting. I am passionate about helping individuals recover from eating disorders. While I specialize in working with people struggling with eating disorders, disordered eating, and body image concerns, I also work with people seeking treatment for non-eating related issues such as depression, anxiety, mood disorders, and more.
Hi, I’m David, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I truly believe therapy should feel like a real conversation, not interrogative or robotic. I’m laid-back, supportive, and help people feel at ease. I respect your story, your values, and your pace -whether you're coming to therapy for the first time or returning after a break.
I am a licensed mental health counselor who specializes in working with women "across the spectrum of motherhood." I work with women experiencing infertility, pregnancy, postpartum depression, anxiety, OCD, heavy mental loads, mom guilt, and empty nests. I have advanced training in perinatal mood and anxiety disorders and use evidence based approaches in my work.
Whether it's herbal or verbal, I'm very passionate about offering everyone a safe space to spill the tea. I have completed certification courses in many specialized areas, such as motivational interviewing, mindfulness based trauma informed care, mindfulness based cognitive behavioral therapy, play therapy, online play therapy, nurturing parenting, and more. I work well with children, adolescents, young adults, and parents.

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 Lexington
Finding the right therapist in Lexington starts with identifying what kind of support you're looking for. Common reasons people seek therapy in Lexington include anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and life transitions. Whether you're looking for a licensed professional counselor (LPC), a clinical social worker (LCSW), or a psychologist, choosing a provider who specializes in your specific concerns can make a meaningful difference. Reading a provider's bio is one of the best ways to understand their approach and decide if they might be a good match.
Lexington has a range of mental health providers offering both in-person and virtual sessions, giving you flexibility based on your schedule and preferences. Practical factors like appointment availability, session format, and location within the Lexington area are worth considering as you narrow your options. A free phone consultation — offered by many providers — can help you get a sense of fit before committing to a first session.
Therapy in Lexington can be expensive out of pocket, but using your in-network insurance benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see an estimated session cost before you book, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a therapist who fits both your clinical needs and your budget.
