Typical sessions are 50-minutes long, but 90-minute or 120-minute sessions may be needed as we progress in our work. I typically recommend beginning with weekly therapy sessions to develop trust and rapport between us and begin making progress on your primary treatment goals. After the first 8-12 weeks, some clients will prefer to pivot to bi-weekly therapy to accommodate their scheduling and budget needs.

I do not accept insurance directly, but I can provide a superbill (receipt) to submit to your insurance provider for potential out-of-network reimbursement. You may also use HSA/FSA funds to pay for therapy sessions. To check if you have out-of-network mental health benefits, I recommend calling your insurance provider and asking: 

• Do I have out of network mental health benefits? If so, what percentage of each session is reimbursed?

• Are telehealth sessions eligible for reimbursement?

• What is my deductible for out of network coverage and has it been met?

• How do I submit claims for reimbursement?

If you need to cancel or reschedule a session, please provide at least 48 hours’ notice. No-Shows and cancellations made with less than 48 hours’ notice will be subject to the full session fee. You can cancel or reschedule by text, email, or through the online client portal.

Our first session will feel low-stakes and casual. I’ll ask you some basic questions about your background and current struggles, and we’ll identify your primary goals for therapy. You’ll have an opportunity to ask me any questions about my treatment approach to ensure this is the right fit for you. There is no pressure to share any personal details you’re not ready to.

Trauma-informed and nervous system-based therapy is complex and often non-linear. While we will engage in collaborative treatment planning and identify specific goals together, it is not uncommon to encounter barriers to treatment that require frequent pivots and deviations from the original plan. This does not indicate that this method of therapy is ineffective for you; These barriers are to be expected and are a fundamental part of the type of work needed to break free from deeply-rooted psychological conditioning and behavioral patterning. Some people may choose to work with me for a season, and others may require long-term therapy to reach their self-development goals.

 I offer in-person therapy at my office in Austin, TX at “INSERT ADDRESS HERE.” For persons in the state of Texas, I offer virtual therapy which allows us to meet in the comfort of your own home from a HIPPA-compliant platform.

For folks with busy or unpredictable schedules, I offer flexible scheduling and can accommodate a mix of in-person and virtual appointments to fit your needs and preferences.

Yes! Online therapy is just as effective as in-person therapy. Many of my clients prefer to meet virtually for increased convenience and to accommodate a busy work schedule. Before an online session, you’ll receive a private link to join a HIPPA-compliant video call for your scheduled appointment time. 

 Keep in mind that the expectations for in-person and virtual are the same; You’ll need to find a quiet, confidential space to ensure our sessions remain private, ethical, and effective. If there are frequent disturbances in virtual sessions, I may recommend pivoting to in-person therapy to ensure your care remains productive.
