Counseling in a Comfortable and Supportive Environment

I work with a wide range of life issues providing services that span from therapy for depression and grief counseling to parenting support, couples counseling and well beyond. I offer a highly personalized approach tailored to each of my client’s individual needs to help attain the personal growth for which they strive.

What is therapy like?

Every counseling or therapy session is unique and caters to each individual’s needs and specific goals. It is common for therapists to discuss the primary issues and concerns in your life during therapy sessions. At first as we get to know each other, it is common to schedule a series of weekly sessions, where each session lasts around fifty minutes. Therapy can be short-term, focusing on a specific issue, or longer-term, addressing more complex issues or ongoing personal growth. There may be times when you are asked to take certain actions outside of the therapy sessions, such as reading a relevant book or keeping records to track certain behaviors. It is important to process what has been discussed and integrate it into your life between sessions.

For therapy to be most effective you must be an active participant, both during and between the sessions. People seeking psychotherapy are willing to take responsibility for their actions, work towards self-change and create greater awareness in their lives.

Insurance and Cost

I accept Private Pay and Tricare clients.

Private Pay — There are many reasons why Private Pay is a preferred way for you as it allows you the greatest control over your care. I will give you a “SuperBill” (receipt) for you to send to your insurance company so that they reimburse you directly. To find out more about this, contact me or call your insurance company to find out more about your “out-of-network” benefits.

Tricare — I am a credentialed out-of-network provider for Tricare. As of January 1, 2018, Humana is now managing Behavioral Health and most of Texas has moved to being Tricare East. Many changes have occurred. Please contact Humana to learn about your changes such as deductibles (https://www.humanamilitary.com/about-us/contact-us).

Fees

Individual Session: 50-55 minute $160
Family or Couple Session: 50-55 minute $180

If using Private Pay, longer sessions are available. Greater details are also available on my Informed Consent Form for clients. Shorter or longer appointments will be pro-rated at 15 minute increments.

Cancellation in less than 24 hours (except in cases of emergency): Full fee

PAYMENT POLICY

The full fee for your session is collected at or before the time of service via cash, credit card, debit card, or check. I do not bill for services, or carry account balances. I utilize Square to process credit and debit card payments.
