In my 35 years as a full time doctoral level psychotherapist I have handled an awesome sample of psychosocial situations. Rather than a jack of all clinical trades, I have been a master of those trades.The background information unfolds as we move forward rather than dominating the first few sessions with a tedious process designed to place the present on hold or to the side. For you and I that first beginning moment is actually right now as you read my words. Hopefully thos words will provide what you seek, or need, to know in order to pursue the best option.

I specialize in counseling young adults (20s and 30s) who want to grow as they go. They want to learn how to live with more calm and confidence - less stress and anxiety. But right now, that probably feels far away. You might be struggling with feeling overwhelmed and behind, with frustration at yourself - feeling like you don't have your shit together. It could be people-pleasing, social anxiety, always second-guessing yourself, or that thing you can’t seem to get over. It’s a lot, and it’s easy to feel anxious and alone. If you’re here, you’re probably feeling ready to take some action and feel different.

A successful experience in psychotherapy begins with choosing a therapist who best meets your needs and goals. The act of talking, in of itself, will not get you where you want to go. You need to talk to a therapist who has the training and the experience to understand where you are at, and the skills to help you move forward. I am an innovative, trauma-informed therapist who has worked with a diverse population of clients. I enable clients to manage difficult feelings and concerns while exploring with them the internal obstacles to personal growth.

I specialize in helping adults move through challenging transitions and transformations, transcend and heal traumas, and repair pathways for greater resiliency. In turn, this allows one to get to know the Self on a profoundly deep level, and to be working in harmony with the functions of your internal system. The tools are already within. Sometimes, we just need to be shown how to access them. I will not be giving you a fish, I will be teaching you to fish. My approach is holistic and individualized to meet your needs. I find the most effective approach is when we combine experiential therapies with talk therapy and rapport.

My work as an individual psychotherapist focuses on helping people develop greater self-esteem, more satisfying relationships, and greater ease and fulfillment in their lives. We work towards reducing distressing feelings, and identifying and resolving problems that stand in the way of your leading the life you would like to have. A deeper understanding of past experiences can be key to resolving unhealthy patterns of thinking and behavior. Bringing this understanding into the present, you then have tools to meet whatever occurs in daily life with greater clarity.

Feeling stuck? I base much of my approach on the idea that we are not programmed to be our own best friends, and that gets in the way. Our minds' default settings are not usually set up for us to feel extra self-confident, extra self-compassionate, or extra calm when the storms roll in. Life generally doesn't let us off the hook very easily, but if we can learn to look at things in new ways, we can find peace in knowing that we are doing the best we can with what life has dealt us.

At times in our lives, we have all experienced confusing and sometimes painful events, whether it be the loss of a loved one, an unexpected illness or health issue, a life transition or trauma. Sometimes, the things we have done in the past to seek relief no longer work as they once did. Therapy can be helpful to find new ways to adjust to the challenges and complications of human life, whether it is rooted in a current life event needing temporary support or a more involved issue requiring long term exploration.

Does insurance cover therapy, prescriptions and other behavioral health services?
In general, yes. Laws in the U.S. require insurers to cover essential behavioral health care at the same level as other health care services. Most health plans require a medical diagnosis and treatments that are evidence based and medically essential. This means that life coaching and alternative therapies are not covered, nor is therapy without a diagnosis. Call the number on the back or your insurance card or visit your insurance company's website to review your Summary of Benefits. If you have insurance through your employer, your Human Resources department may also be able to answer questions.
How much does therapy cost with insurance?
The cost of therapy depends on your region, how much training and experience your therapist has, and the type of treatment. The rate for talk therapy generally falls between $100 and $250. For a client seeing an in-network provider, the cost of therapy is often similar to the cost of other health care services. Clients pay co-pays and may need to satisfy a plan’s deductible before benefits kick in.
What is the difference between In-Network and Out-of-Network insurance coverage?
An in-network provider has contracted with an insurer to get paid directly for services, and to accept the insurer’s rate of compensation. Clients are responsible for deductibles and copays. If a therapist is out of network, that means that the client pays the therapist directly for services at the therapist’s regular fee. Out-of-Network providers often give clients a receipt so that they can file for partial reimbursement with their insurance company.
Is it difficult to find an In-Network therapist?
It is not unusual for therapists to limit the number of insurance patients in their practice, so it’s important to check in-network availability when you schedule your first appointment. In regions and times where therapy is in high demand it may take longer to get scheduled with an in-network therapist.
What is the difference between HMO and PPO insurance plans?
HMO health plans only cover in-network services, there is no reimbursement for out-of-network providers. PPO plans often cover both in- and out-of-network services, though the client may pay more for out-of-network services.
What is a Superbill?
A superbill is a receipt for therapy services. It provides all the information required by insurance companies to reimburse you for out-of-network services, including the diagnostic codes for your care, the amount paid, and the dates and duration of care.
Does insurance cover Online therapy?
Many therapists who shifted their practice to online therapy during the pandemic have kept that arrangement. And most insurers continue to cover telehealth services, with a few exceptions. Preventive care (such as an annual depression screening) is often required to be in-person to be covered, and some states require prescribers of controlled substances to see those patients in person.
Does insurance cover Group therapy?
Many insurance plans provide coverage for group therapy provided there is a medical diagnosis for group members, but there are some noteworthy exceptions. For example, Medicare does not always cover group therapy. Group therapy tends to cost less than individual therapy.
Does insurance cover Couples therapy?
Most insurance companies do not cover the cost of couples therapy because there is no medical diagnosis or medically necessary treatment. However, a few plans will offer a limited benefit, so it is still worth checking with your insurance company. Sometimes therapy is covered for a couple when one person has a diagnosis and another family member joins them for joint therapy, but it is considered therapy for the medical condition that includes a family member as a listener or helper, not couples counseling. Without insurance, most clients pay between $100-300 per 60-90 min session for couples therapy. Often clients can find classes or workshops that make it more affordable to work on their relationship. And some employers offer benefit plans that help defray the cost of couples therapy.
