This is a common concern for people. Counseling is “only for” the most extreme cases is inaccurate. I’ve seen everything from new job transitions that cause anxiety to “I just feel lost” to struggles with anger and overwhelm. Not all concerns that come to my office are critical in nature, but the client knows something new needs to happen. Change and clarity need to occur. What’s been done so far hasn’t worked and we need to figure out what’s next. I hope to be a source of kindness, encouragement and honesty with whatever you bring in.
I just have the goal of getting to know you and your concerns. There’s not a lot of pressure from me, but it is VERY common to be nervous…who wouldn’t be for a first session with a new person you don’t know?! But it’s more like just hearing you out and where you’d like to go in therapy, if you have an idea of your goals…if you don’t at the beginning, that’s okay too!
Yes, it’s true that therapy isn’t cheap. One thing to keep in mind, though, is that we spend our money on things we value. If cars, entertainment, trips, etc. are valuable to us, we spend money on them. Healing our inner world as well as doing better in relationships with others through communication and boundaries are the long game. This helps us to do better for ourselves, those around us, at work and when we venture outside of our comfort zones. And, also, I’m trying to work myself OUT of a job. I want you to fully function on your own and only touch base if you want to and if needed. Let’s work together to help you grow so that you can spread your wings! While outcomes cannot be guaranteed because there are multiple things that go into therapy, I promise that I will work hard as we journey together toward what you want from your own life.
This is so understandable! Yes, I am a stranger to you right now. Our bodies and minds pay attention to the unknowns in life. The reason I put so much time and effort into making the videos on this site is to help you see if you feel like you connect with me and my style before you even reach out! Your connection with your therapist is the strongest indicator of how successful you’ll feel therapy to be later on. I want you to get a sense of fit and that’s also why I do free 15 minute phone consultations with you so that you can get a sense of if I’m what you need. Your connection and sense of safety with me deeply matters to me, so I’m committed to you getting a feel for my style before you fill out paperwork
The average couple waits six years to ask for help after problems start. However, you do not need to be on the verge of divorce to ask for help. In fact, the earlier you see problems and ask for help the less wounding occurs because you get out in front of it. So “feeling distant” or “we’re arguing more than normal” is plenty enough reason to come in for couples work.
The type of trauma work I do does not require you regurgitating every detail of what happened. The beauty of trauma work with Somatic Experiencing is we trust that your body remembers what happened and your nervous system has been protecting you as a result. We will work with only bits of story and little bits of stress at a time. Then we help the body regulate and self-soothe to bring on healing in an incremental way. It’s powerful to heal in this way and it does not require full stories
This happens! We are all human, some people we connect with well and others we do not. Your sense of fit with me matters to me, and it is not an offense to me if you don’t feel a solid connection. All I ask is give it 2-3 sessions before you decide what to do about your care. But you are free to be able to choose who is in charge of your care at any time! I have plenty of referrals up my sleeve as well to help in your search!
I do recommend this at the beginning, due to the nature of what it takes to get traction toward hope and change. However, it isn’t necessary if there are things that get in the way of that. Best traction will initially come from weekly, but you can do biweekly or monthly, just know change will be slower.
"So...you're only cash pay? WHY?!"
Why we don't take insurance...
hint hint - there are really good reasons ...I promise
Read below for more information ↓There are several reasons we do not take insurance. So let's get into it.
Reason
Number 1
Insurance companies become the “controller” of your care. It’s only the people who are on their panels that they will cover as in-network. Just because a therapist is on your insurance panel does not mean they are a good match for you or your situation.
Insurance is medical in nature, so what this requires is for me to prove the following:
- I have to prove you are “sick” with a diagnosis
- I have to prove you are “sick” but “getting better.”
- I have to prove you are still “sick enough” for insurance to decide that they will continue to cover your care. If they do not deem our work as beneficial or if it seems you are “better enough” they will cut off coverage and costs for care land in your lap based on their assessments (meanwhile, these people don’t know you from Adam or what you need).
Reason
Number 2
Reason
Number 3
There are times where insurance require not just a summary of care but actual copies of my notes. This means complete strangers are seeing what you are doing in therapy, even though my notes are always short and vague.
Diagnosis goes in your medical records for mental health conditions. Some diagnoses are considered unacceptable by jobs, military, etc. This could harm your future prospects.
Reason
Number 4
Reason
Number 5
Cash pay allows you and me to be the only ones who decide what care is best for you. The power sits with us as we move forward and allows for flexibility to make changes as we see fit, without the need for outside approval.
***IMPORTANT NOTE: I am willing to do super billing for your insurance, if you’d like to explore the option of using me as an out-of-network provider and you submit the paperwork to your own insurance for potential reimbursement. I always recommend calling your insurance company first and ask how super billing may work with that particular company on your particular plan.***
Did you know...
The average divorce in Texas costs $15,600 according to several law firms and it takes an average of 12.5 months?
But in all seriousness, your relationships are worth saving if at all possible. Let us work together to establish new patterns of communication, address old wounds and start to make the reactive “cycle” between the two of you far less prevalent and see what beauty and strength your relationship is actually capable of with these upgrades.
