Course of Therapy

We typically begin with a free 15-minute consultation appointment. This is an opportunity to discuss what brings you (or y’all) to therapy and your treatment goals, and for both parties to assess whether it feels like a good fit to work together. The consultation appointment also allows me to ensure that I am equipped to address your problems and help you work toward your treatment goals. Ethically, I am obligated to inform you if your presenting concerns or goals are outside of the scope of my training and expertise and I will do my best to offer a recommendation or referral as needed.

After the initial consultation appointment, I typically begin meeting with clients for weekly 50-minute individual therapy sessions or 60-minute couples sessions. I find that a weekly cadence helps build rapport, establish momentum, and facilitate early treatment gains. Some people benefit from meeting weekly for the entirety of treatment while others might drop down to meeting every other week before wrapping up.

The duration of therapy varies significantly based on the nature and complexity of the concerns we are addressing. When issues are more recent, clearly defined, and limited in scope, clients often experience meaningful gains within a few months. In contrast, longstanding or more complex challenges may require a longer-term approach, potentially extending over a year or more. As with all aspects of the therapeutic process, the length of treatment is determined collaboratively, and tailored to each client or couple’s unique needs and goals.

Sessions are conducted via secure, HIPAA-compliant video conferencing accessible via your computer, tablet, or phone. This allows me to connect with folks with demanding schedules and multiple responsibilities located anywhere in the state of Texas.

Fees

My fee is $220 for a 50 minute individual therapy session and $260 for a 60 minute couples therapy session. I am an out-of-network provider for health insurance plans. Many insurance plans reimburse you for a percentage of the cost of therapy after you reach your annual deductible. I do not bill insurance companies directly, but I will happily provide you with a “superbill” that you can submit to your insurance company for reimbursement or to file towards your deductible. Therapy services are also typically health savings account (HSA) and Flexible Spending Account (FSA) eligible.
