Frequently Asked Questions
+ What kind of therapeutic methods do you primarly use?
I use evidenced based trauma competent models. I tend to most often use IFS, ACT, IBRIDO (similar to EMDR)and Somatic work.
+ How does the therapist help clients make positive changes in their life?
I help clients identify what they wish was different in their life or relationships and works towards improving their mental well-being by helping clients make valued based decisions and behavioral change to show up for themselves in positive ways ditching self-sabotage and indecisiveness.
+ How does the therapist help clients cope with challenges and manage stress?
I help clients tap into what foster's their unique personal growth. What works for some may not be best for you so we honor that. I teach mindfulness, somatic, and emotional processing to help equip yourself with useful resources.
+ What insurance do you accept?
We are moving toward a self pay practice. Currently I am in network with BCBS and Aetna. I partner with mentaya.com/c/sohc to help you claim any OON benefit you may have.
+ What are some common mental health issues or conerns can you help me with?
As opposed to most generalist providers; I have built my career on specializing in women's mental health. Specifically helping women break free from fear based living, anxiety, and shame. Many of my client's also have late life ADHD diagnosis.
+ How long do I need to be in therapy?
One of the pivitol reasons for moving away from accepting insurance falls in my value of you are expert of your life and we heal at different times during different seasons. I simply ethically say you will reach your goals in 12 sessions. Nor do I believe an claims adjuster has clinical expertise to determine what is your best path. Most of my client's see shifts early on and sustained change through the course of the work together.
