Frequently Asked Questions
Payment & Cancellation Policy
What is your cancellation policy?
I offer 3 no charge cancellations in a calendar year. At any time during our work together you have 3 weeks to reschedule any session you may not be able to attend. If you are unable to reschedule that will count as 1 of your 3 cancellations. Once you use up all 3 cancellations you are responsible for paying full session fee.
What form of payment do you accept?
To maintain confidentiality of services I use an online platform to keep cards on file that is HIPPA compliant. Currently, payment is made using IVY Pay.
Do you accept insurance?
I am currently in-network with Healthchoice. Couples sessions are not billed through insurance due to relational issues not meeting DSM diagnostic criteria.
How much do sessions cost?
Individual sessions cost $175 per 55 minutes
Couples sessions cost $285 per 90 minutes
Who I work with
Do I have to live in Oklahoma or Colorado to work with you?
Yes, due to licensing laws I am only able to work with those that are physically located in either the state of Colorado or Oklahoma.
Do I have to be married to see you for couples counseling?
No, if you are in a relationship you are welcome to come in for couples. It does not matter how long you have been in a relationship or whether marriage is even something you two want for couples counseling to be the right fit for the two of you.
What ages do you work with?
I work with adults ages 21 and up.
How long does couples work take?
Couples typically work with me about 12 to 24 sessions.
What is the structure of session?
People work with me weekly then as they obtain the main goals we have outlines we move to 90minute bi-weekly sessions. We move into the final phase of therapy by moving to once a month and setting up a final termination session.
Getting ready for session
What do I do if I’m ready to schedule a session with you?
The easiest way to move forward is to schedule a free phone consultation with me so that together we can determine who to get your counseling journey started. You can either sign up here or shoot me an email here.
How can I prepare for my session?
To give you just one thing be honest. Hopefully that is already a goal of yours to be honest with me in session but those that I have seen truly blossom are truly being honest with themselves.
What if I get the urge to cancel an intake session?
A normal urge experienced by many and some do end up canceling an intake. Getting the urge to cancel is a normal response and as much as I’d like to tell I’m ready to met you, which I am. It’s just as true that you need to be willing even if you might never feel quite ready.
Benefits and Risks to Therapy
What are the benefits of online sessions?
Online sessions can be easier to accommodate into your schedule without having to commute or encounter traffic which can be even more frustrating to face after a challenging session.
How do I know if therapy would help?
The hard truth is that you don’t. My hope is that it does. Both my personal and professional experience has witnessed magical changes in the lives of those I’ve worked with and for myself.
How to I know therapy is working?
Everyone is different but here are a few early signs that therapy is working are:
- Knowing that the issues you are struggling with will be addressed
- Feeling lighter
- Having a sense that problems arising are normal.
- Feeling relief
- Increased sense of community
- Increased understanding of yourself and the problems you are facing
