Questions About Starting Therapy in Nevada or Utah?

The terms therapy and counseling are used interchangeably here and they refer to a process of helping you work through challenges and problems you are facing in your life as well as learn new skills to develop and strengthen emotional and mental health. Coaching is more focused on the process of creating something you want for your life. I bring all of my knowledge, skills, and expertise to each of my sessions in a fluid process that serves you in whatever way you most need.

I offer a variety of ways to work with me including 50 minutes sessions, 80 minute sessions, and concentrated 2 ½ day deep dives. During the initial session we will get crystal clear on what you want from our time together and then chart the best route for you to get there, taking into consideration your particular challenges, needs, lifestyle, personality, and goals. Some people do much better with consistent, weekly sessions while others benefit more from longer bi-monthly sessions or concentrated chunks of time with space in between those sessions. I tailor everything to what is best for YOU.

I offer a free consultation as a way for you to get a felt sense of me and the kind of work we will be doing together. Only you can answer that question and I’d encourage you to trust your gut.

That really depends on a lot of factors, including your specific goals and needs. Some people just need a few months of weekly or bi-weekly work to get through a short term challenge. Others are wanting a more in-depth transformation that can take more like 6-12 months. It can take longer if you’ve been ignoring, repressing, or avoiding things for a while or you have some trauma or longstanding habits to change.

I work exclusively with people who want to make real, deep sustainable change. Therapy is an investment that pays you solid dividends, but it isn’t a quick fix solution and will take time. Having said, that I do always hold the intention of helping you reach your goals as quickly as possible.

Here are the top 5 benefits I see my clients getting from working with me, based on results and feedback from my clients:

1. Greater capacity to engage in life with more flow and less will power or need to control things.

2. An empowered relationship with your emotions as you learn how to listen to them, understand them, and work with them instead of against them

3. Increased trust in yourself and the ability to clear through self-doubt and insecurity when they arise. Also, clearer access to your own discernment and wisdom.

4. Feeling less frantic and more clear, calm, and focused

5. More clarity, direction, and momentum in those areas you were feeling stuck.

The consultation is a way to get a feel for me and ask any questions you may have before you make the decision to begin working with me. It is a great ice breaker to help you get comfortable with this space and process and make sure you feel like I’m the right fit for you.

I take Medicare Part B, Blue Cross Blue Shield and some types of Aetna and Optum in both Nevada and Utah. I am also an out of network provider for all other insurances and can provide you a superbill, which is an invoice summary of sessions that you submit to your insurance company for partial reimbursement.

Please be advised:

1. All insurance companies require a mental disorder diagnosis

2. Your insurance company may request a copy of our session notes

3. Your insurance company may decline your request for reimbursement

4. Your insurance company may dictate the number of sessions allowed and even the length of the individual sessions

5. Insurance processing has access to your records, which is literally the exact opposite of confidentiality.

6. A mental disorder diagnosis will become a part of your permanent health record. It has the potential to work against you when attempting to get certain insurances, apply for certain licenses, or in your military or business career, as anyone who has a "legitimate" reason to access the medical database can view your records.

I charge $250 for a 50-minute session. All other time increments are prorated accordingly.

The initial intake session is 1 hour 20 minutes and costs $375

I accept all major credit cards including those associated with your flex or health care savings account.

Cancellations must be made at least 48 hours in advance to avoid being charged for the full session fee.
