Frequently Asked Questions
Are you seeing clients in person?
My practice is completely online. I have in person referrals if you prefer to see another therapist in person. Most people have found that meeting virtually is equally effective, connecting and helpful. It's also nice and convenient to fit therapy in without having to travel.
What is your rate for therapy?
My rate is $150 for a 60-minute session for private pay individual therapy and $165 for a 75-min couples therapy session. For those with Blue Cross Blue Shields and HealthChoice, rates vary depending on your insurance copay and whether you've met your deductible.
- BCBS before meeting deductible: $95 - $115 per session
- BCBS copay (after meeting deductible): typically ranges between $9 - $50 per session.
- HealthChoice before meeting deductible: $150 per session
- HealthChoice after meeting deductible: typically $25-$30
Do you take my insurance?
I take HealthChoice and Blue Cross Blue Shields. I am out-of-network for all other insurances. For out-of-network clients, we can provide you a detailed receipt called a superbill to give to your insurance company for reimbursement. The reimbursement rate depends on your insurance, and it would be a good idea to call them to ask if you have out-of-network benefits and what they'll reimburse for CPT code 90837 (individual therapy for at least 53 minutes).
I recommend using Reimbursify to help you with the reimbursement process if you don't want the hassle of dealing with your insurance company.
Can you treat people who live outside of Oklahoma?
My license restricts me to only treating people who are in Oklahoma, but you can look for a Certified TEAM-CBT therapist in your state through the Feeling Good Institute therapist directory or an IFS therapist through the IFS Institute directory.
How do you treat trauma and PTSD?
I've worked hard to find the best trauma treatments to effectively help you heal from the effects of the hard life experiences you've been through. I've had formal training in trauma-specific treatments including Prolonged Exposure (PE), EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Written Exposure Therapy (WET). At this time, I have a strong leaning toward IFS in combination with TEAM-CBT for helping clients deeply heal in the shortest amount of time.
How do you treat anxiety and OCD?
The therapy approaches that I love due to being both compassionate and effective include TEAM-CBT, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and I-CBT. You can read more about my therapy approaches here.
What if I have to cancel an appointment?
I understand that emergencies come up and life happens. I do not charge for cancelled sessions but request that you give me as much advance notice as possible, so I can fill the slots with therapists I'm training or clients in need of an alternate time. After two consecutive cancellations, we will discuss ways for you to be able to attend weekly sessions more consistently. Sometimes, we may need to pause therapy until your circumstances change and you're able to attend sessions regularly. Your weekly attendance allows us our work to be most effective in helping you meet your goals and achieve the life changes you're looking for.
