I don’t need support for religious trauma, can you support me with other concerns?

Yes, I am equipped to support individuals and couples outside of this focus area. I have experience working with a variety of concerns such as anxiety, depression, social anxiety, late-diagnosed autism and ADHD, grief, life transitions, and more.

The best next step would be to schedule a consultation so we can talk about your goals for therapy and if we might be a good match to work together.

I have religious trauma, but I don’t want to leave my faith or spiritual practice. Can we still work together?

Absolutely. From my perspective, healing from past spiritual hurt, abuse, or trauma, looks different for everyone. For some, this means taking time away from spiritual practices or their religious faith, and for others, it means processing while still participating in meaningful communities, rituals, etc. In our work together, you will be empowered to create your own roadmap for healing and how you engage with your faith or spirituality.

I’m interested in EMDR therapy, do you offer short-term EMDR therapy?

I do offer short-term EMDR therapy. However, I do require several introductory sessions to assess for appropriateness of EMDR and to prepare each client for the EMDR procesing phases. This may be modified according to each client’s needs and goals.

How many sessions does it take for EMDR Therapy?

Generally speaking, it can take 6 to 10 sessions to complete an EMDR target plan. This will vary according to each individual and their readiness for the deep work of EMDR processing. Additionally, sometimes in the process of EMDR therapy, clients will identify other memories, experiences, or core beliefs that they want to address using EMDR. All of these factors will impact the length of EMDR treatment.

Do you offer a sliding scale?

I do offer limited sliding scale spots that are available based on financial need—this is available for everyone but especially for those who identify as LGBTQIA+ or BIPOC.

Why don’t you accept insurance?

Unfortunately, one of the downsides of working with insurance is how their standards and protocols can sometimes impact the therapy process. They require a diagnosis, which for some isn’t something they want on their record or identify with. Additionally, insurance companies can sometimes restrict who you can work with and how many sessions will be covered. These are just a couple of examples of what contributed to my decision not to take insurance.

That being said, there are many wonderful clinicians who may take your insurance plan, If you are looking for a provider who does, Therapy Den, Psychology Today, and Inclusive Therapists can be resources to use where you can filter options by your area as well as your insurance provider.
