Therapy

Questions we often get asked

If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or like something needs to change—but you’re not sure how to move forward—that’s when therapy can help. You don’t need to have everything figured out. You just need to be open to the process.

Somatic therapy recognizes the connection between emotional experiences and the body. It focuses not only on thoughts and emotions, but also on physical patterns of stress, tension and nervous system activation.

Each session is 50-60 minutes. We’ll decide together how often to meet—typically weekly or bi-weekly, depending on your needs and schedule.

My fee is $150 per individual session and $225 per couples session.

I understand that cost can be a concern, and we don’t believe it should stand in the way of getting support. Everyone deserves access to quality mental health care. I also accept several insurance plans, including Aetna, Anthem BlueCross BlueShield, Cigna, and Humana. If you have questions about coverage or payment options, feel free to reach out for more information.

Yes! I use a secure, HIPAA-compliant platform for all online sessions. Many clients find online therapy just as effective – and far more convenient. I am proud to offer these online sessions to clients located throughout Georgia.

I take a body-centered and integrative approach to therapy, helping you reconnect with both your mind and body. Together, we’ll explore the emotional patterns, stress, trauma, and tension that may be keeping you stuck, while building tools to help you feel more grounded, present, and empowered.

My work often incorporates mindfulness, breathwork, expressive exercises, and TRE® (Tension & Trauma Release Exercises) to support healing on a deeper level. I believe therapy should feel safe, collaborative, and tailored to your level of readiness, allowing you to move at a pace that feels right for you.

Therapy is collaborative, supportive and tailored to your individual needs and goals. Sessions may include traditional talk therapy, mindfulness, emotional exploration and body-based awareness practices depending on your comfort level and needs.

Insurance

Questions we often get asked

Insurance can feel overwhelming, and navigating benefits on your own can add even more stress during an already difficult time. We’re here to help make the process easier.

We work with several insurance providers, including Aetna, Anthem BlueCross BlueShield, Cigna, Humana, and other PPO plans. We also offer out-of-network support and can help you better understand your benefits and possible out-of-pocket costs before getting started.

Without insurance, individual therapy sessions are $150 and couples sessions are $225. I believe quality mental health care should feel accessible, supportive, and worth the investment in your well-being.

If you’re unsure about costs, insurance coverage, or out-of-network benefits, I’m happy to help you better understand your options before getting started.

Appointments & Billing

Questions we often get asked

We hold a weekly time for you, therefore we ask for 48 hours notice to cancel your appointment. Whenever possible, we try to offer reschedules based on your clinicians’ availability. Cancelled sessions are charged at $150 and cannot be billed to insurance.

We accept a variety of payment methods for your convenience, including major credit cards, debit cards, Health Savings Accounts (HSA), cash, and select electronic payment options.

If you have questions about payment, insurance coverage, or out-of-network reimbursement, we’re happy to help guide you through your options before your first session.

Beginning January 1, 2022, if you’re uninsured or you pay for health care bills yourself (don’t have your claims submitted to your health plan), health care providers and facilities must provide you with an estimate of expected charges before you get an item or service. This is called a “good faith estimate.” Providers and facilities must provide you with a good faith estimate if you request one, or after you’ve scheduled an item or service. It should include expected charges for the primary item or service you’re getting, and any other items or services that are provided as part of the same scheduled experience.

The provider or facility you contact for a good faith estimate must provide a list of all items and services associated with your care. In 2022, the estimate isn’t required to include items and services provided to you by another provider or facility, but you can also ask these providers or facilities for a separate good faith estimate. In 2023, the provider or facility you contact will be required to provide co-provider or co-facility cost information.
For example, if you’re getting surgery, the good faith estimate could include the cost of the surgery, any lab services or tests, and the anesthesia used during the operation. But, in some instances, items or services related to the surgery that are scheduled separately, like pre-surgery appointments or physical therapy in the weeks after the surgery, might not be included in the good faith estimate.

Providers and facilities must:

-Provide the good faith estimate before an item or service is scheduled, within certain timeframes.

-Offer an itemized list of each item or service, grouped by the provider or facility offering care. Each item or service has to have specific details, like the health care code assigned to it and the expected charge.

-Explain the good faith estimate to you over the phone or in-person if you request it, and then follow up with a written (paper or electronic) estimate.

-Provide the good faith estimate in a way that’s accessible to you.

As it pertains to therapy, all this means is that you will be informed of your self-pay per session rate and the cancellation fee.
