What kind of therapy do you offer?

I offer a range of different kinds of therapy for many different issues. I primarily offer various types of Evidence-Based Therapies to address these issues. Visit the Services page of this site for more information, or feel free to reach out if you have questions about your treatment needs.

What are Evidence-Based Therapies?

EBT's are scientifically validated approaches to psychological treatment that integrates research evidence, clinical expertise, and client preferences to maximize therapeutic effectiveness.

They often work faster than more supportive-type therapies to meet treatment goals. EBT's also have the potential to help clients get to a place where they can achieve "Recovery" - where your mental health is no longer holding you back from functioning in your life, and you don't have to be in therapy weekly for 3 years to start feeling better.

EBT's are also often Time-Limited, where a typical episode of care can range from 6-8 sessions for some therapies or 12-16 sessions for others. 

What do you mean by "Time-Limited"?

Therapy doesn't have to be a long-term commitment. Sometimes we can do the work we need to do to get you to a point where you're functioning better, and mental health isn't holding you back. EBT's teach you tools to heal and address ongoing stressors in your life, and manage the natural ebb and flow of mental health over your lifespan. Discharging from therapy allows you to practice using these tools on your own and build a sense of competency in yourself and your ability to cope.

You can also come back to therapy at any time if you have additional treatment goals to address, or you need help getting back on track. You can use therapy for your mental health when you need it, and take breaks to live life when you're doing better. 

Do you take insurance?

Yes, I take insurance. Billing is supported through the Headway platform. I am credentialed with most major types of insurance carriers. Best way to check is to input your insurance information on my Headway Profile, and you can double-check your insurance coverage.

What if I want to pay out of pocket, what do you charge?

My basic charge for 1 hr of psychotherapy is $100 per hour.
