What I Provide

Mental Health Care

I provide outpatient psychotherapy services to residents of Tennessee and California, and work with teens (age 16+) and adults. This is also referred to as mental health counseling or therapy. 

Virtual Therapy

Therapy with me is virtual, also called telehealth or remote therapy. That means I’ll meet with you via a HIPAA-secure video call. I’ve found the video aspect is needed for us to develop rapport and for me to be able to help my clients most effectively. 

The Process

I complete a comprehensive intake assessment to identify your most important needs and goals. During our first few sessions, we’ll discuss what prompted you to seek counseling and go further into your background and life circumstances. Having a comprehensive understanding of your individual experiences is vital to me to know how to best help. 

Frequency

Most commonly, therapy sessions occur weekly. This is especially important in the beginning as I work to understand you and your needs and as we develop a therapeutic relationship.  Occasionally, some people need bi-weekly sessions to help with stabilization and crisis prevention. As our work progresses, people gradually reduce the frequency of sessions.

Types of Therapy

My work is primarily with individuals. Families and other supportive people are sometimes involved in a limited number of sessions depending on my client’s needs and willingness. I do not provide couples therapy, pre-marital counseling, extended family therapy, or group therapy.

Insurance and Rates

Insurance

I am in-network with Aetna and Tricare East (Humana) insurance in Tennessee. 

I am currently out-of-network with all other insurance companies. I am happy to provide clients with a superbill to submit to their insurance company to request that it be applied to their out-of-network (OON) deductible. You can use the insurance checker, provided below, by Thrizer to see your OON benefits. Once that deductible is met, these can help you be reimbursed for the cost of therapy with an OON provider.

The no-show and late cancellation fees equal the fee for the requested service. If using insurance, this includes both the amount covered by insurance and that which is the client's responsibility (co-pay, co-insurance, etc.).

If you are a Black woman or girl, please check out the Loveland Foundation Therapy Fund. They provide scholarships that can help cover the cost of some of your therapy sessions.
