Being “Integrative”, the therapy I provide combines different therapeutic tools and approaches to fit the needs of the individual client. By combining elements drawn from different schools of psychological theory and research, integrative therapy becomes a more flexible and inclusive approach to treatment than more traditional, singular forms of psychotherapy. These psychotherapy techniques can be incorporated into almost any type of therapeutic work. 

Therapy Techniques I Use:

-Cognitive Behavioral  Therapy (CBT), -Exposure Response  Prevention (ERP), -Solution Focused Brief  Therapy (SFBT), -Positive Psychology, -Narrative  Therapy, -Family / Marital  Therapy, -Structural  Therapy, -Motivational, Multicultural, -Cultural Sensitivity, -Christian Counseling 

Most of our therapists offer both of these options, so the choice is yours! In addition to in-person sessions at our office, therapy can be done via secure online video through OWL Practice, or over the phone. OWL Practice is similar to Zoom, but more confidential because it is designed for therapy. Commonly, people want to know if meeting online or on the phone is as effective as face-to-face sessions and, in our experience, yes – it absolutely can be. If you prefer to come in-person, we just ask that you please stay home if you are feeling sick. You can always switch to a virtual session if needed! If you don’t know what you would prefer, try a session and see how you feel about it. You are welcome to switch between in-person and virtual sessions whenever you would like to.

All therapists have a fee of $110 for 50-minute individual sessions and $150 for couples / family sessions. Initial 90-minute intake / assessments are $150 for individuals and $225 for couples.

We accept cash and all major credit cards as forms of payment. American Express, Cash, Discover, Mastercard, Visa. A credit card will be saved to your file at the start of therapy, and this will be charged after your sessions. Receipts are sent promptly by email. We can also take payment by secure EFT (electronic funds transfer), which is a direct debit of funds from a bank account on file.

When you call to schedule your first appointment we will request your insurance information so we can verify coverage and find out what your payment would be, that being a co-pay or if there is a deductible to meet first, or if you do have mental health coverage and if we are actually in network. It is still best to check with your particular provider and plan for exact coverage details. Every plan differs, and many different plans exist within the same insurance company, or even the same workplace.

Insurance We Currently Accept:

Aetna, Ambetter, BlueCross and BlueShield, Cigna and Evernorth , Florida Blue, Government Employees Health Association (GEHA), New Directions | Lucet, Optum, TRICARE, UnitedHealthcare UHC | UBH, United Medical Resources (UMR),

If you are unable to attend a session, please make sure you cancel at least 24 hours beforehand. Otherwise, you may be charged our $75 no-show/late cancellation fee. A credit card will be saved to your file at the start of therapy, and this will be charged afterwards.

Confidentiality is fundamental in therapy, and clients should be informed of the circumstances when a therapist may need to disclose information, such as in cases of harm to self or others.

Therapy sessions between a counselor/therapist and client are confidential and release of
Protected Health Information requires your written permission, except under certain legally
defined situations:

Finally, on occasion to benefit the treatment, the clinician may consult with another clinician.
This is done with great respect for your privacy and identifying information is omitted
whenever possible.
If you participate in marital or family therapy, the marriage and family therapist will not
disclose confidential information about your treatment unless all person(s) who participated in
the treatment with you provide their written authorization to release such information.
However, it is important that you know that the marriage and family therapist utilizes a “no
secrets” policy when conducting family or marital/couples therapy. This means that she does
not keep secret information gathered in individual conversations (whether on the phone or in an
individual session) if the information revealed in some way violates the integrity of the
couples/family therapy (such as revealing an affair, substance problem, or intent to leave the
relationship). Such information will need to be revealed to the other partner for therapy to
effectively continue. Please feel free to ask me about my “no secrets” policy and how it may
apply to you. 

If a clinician become aware that a client intends to harm him/herself, harm another, or if s/
he is unable to provide self-care at a level necessary for basic survival, we are ethically and
legally bound to take appropriate action to protect against such dangers.

State law requires the report of suspected child, vulnerable adult, or otherwise dependent
abuse or neglect when there is reasonable belief that it has occurred.

Under the US Patriot Act, the clinician is required to release records if requested by the
federal government if a client is suspected of involvement in terrorism.

In response to a court order, the clinician may have to release records or testify.

If you are utilizing an insurance company to reimburse you for out-of-network benefits, you
will be required to consent to the release of information such as your clinical diagnosis, and
your records may be reviewed.

If a client files a complaint or lawsuit against me, the clinician may disclose relevant
information regarding that client in order to defend myself.

At times the clinician may employ administrative staff to help with scheduling and quality
assurance practices. The clinician may need to share protected information, such as your name
and telephone number, with these individuals for purely administrative purposes.
• Regarding collection situations (see payment section above), the clinician is permitted to
release your name, the nature of services provided, and the amount due.

It’s normal not to connect with every therapist. Clients should feel empowered to seek a new therapist if they don’t feel safe, understood, or respected.

Our therapists understand this and can sometimes help find a better fit.
