Most counseling sessions are scheduled for 60 minutes, which is also the standard length covered by most insurance plans. However, session length can sometimes be adjusted based on your individual needs, treatment goals, or scheduling considerations.
Initial evaluations typically take between 60 to 120 minutes, depending on your history, presenting concerns, and the information needed to begin treatment. This extended time allows for a thorough assessment, review of background, and development of a personalized treatment plan.
If you’re using insurance, session length will be based on what is allowable under your plan. I’ll always let you know in advance what to expect for your first visit.
HEALING PAINS Therapy primarily focuses on helping individuals heal from past trauma, adverse life experiences, and the emotional and behavioral challenges that often result from them. A key approach used in therapy is EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), which is designed to target and process unresolved memories that may be contributing to current difficulties.
Clients often seek support for issues such as social anxiety, grief and loss, depression, phobias, addictions, emotional detachment, and more. Many have found relief and meaningful progress in resolving their symptoms through this trauma-informed approach.
At this time, all therapy sessions are provided via secure telehealth (video-based sessions), which allows you to attend therapy from the comfort and privacy of your own home. This format has been my primary method of delivering care for several years, and I’ve consistently seen clients make meaningful progress through this approach.
While in-person therapy has its place, telehealth offers unique advantages — including increased comfort, reduced commute time, and the ability to engage in therapy from a familiar environment. Many clients find this helps them feel more at ease and open during sessions.
In the future, I may explore offering in-person sessions once I’ve relocated and settled into a permanent space. If that becomes available, it will be shared here on the website.
If you don’t see your insurance listed, don’t worry — you may still be able to use your out-of-network benefits. Many insurance plans cover a portion of therapy even if the provider is not in-network. I recommend checking with your insurance company to see:
If you’re not sure how to check, I’m happy to guide you through the questions to ask.
If therapy is not urgent and your insurance doesn’t offer out-of-network coverage, I may be able to apply for credentialing with your plan — feel free to ask about this option.
Currently, my private practice is open part-time — about 1 to 2 days per week — as I transition from a full-time position. However, I’m actively working toward expanding my availability and moving into full-time private practice.
If you’re interested in starting services, I encourage you to reach out. Even if immediate openings are limited, I’m happy to discuss your needs and explore options for getting you on the schedule soon. In some cases, I may be able to reserve a spot or put you on a short waitlist as availability opens up.
Your interest means a lot, and I’ll do my best to accommodate you as I grow the practice.
