1--Reach out, ask me your questions or go straight to scheduling your first session. The first session is 50 minutes at a reduced fee of $100.

Psychotherapy & Counseling can help with many things, including: identifying & reducing anxiety, shifting depression, creating boundaries/learning to say no, improving communication skills, healing trauma, healing grief, making a major life transition, learning to feel emotions instead of pushing them down, reconciling with chronic illness & pain, learning to be present, increasing awareness of body & mind, improving self-esteem & self trust, practicing being honest with yourself, etc…the list goes on….

Session content is different depending on what you want to focus on & what modalities you want to experience.

A sampling of what we might do in a session:

talking, listening, working through mental/thought blocks, movement, body mapping, parts mapping, sandtray, creating an experiment for changing a boundary in your life, creating a plan for better sleep, tracking with trauma response in body, psych education related to sensory issues, practicing mindfulness, building tools for well-being & much more…

I have offered psychotherapy services since 2013 when I graduated from a 3 year graduate program & completed 2 full internships (one in grief & hospice care & the other in play therapy).

My first speciality was working with grief, end-of-life & Alzheimer’s type Dementia, which was a primary focus while in graduate school.

I see clients age 19 & up.

I do not. A first full session is a better measure of if you like the way I work with clients.

I do, however, offer your first session at the reduced rate of $100/50 minute session.

My practice is private-pay.

If you have a Health Savings Account (HSA) you can use it for payment as a way to use your insurance benefits.

If you have out-of-network benefits (PPO, POS, and HDHP plans) & want to use superbills, let me know & we can discuss how you can use Mentaya to get some reimbursement.

I do not with the exception of single parents. If you are a single parent who needs a reduced fee, let’s talk.

I accept:

cash (paper cash, not cash apps)

credit/debit cards

HSA cards

I see clients in-person at my office in Downtown Columbia, MO.

Yes, I offer online sessions in the state of Missouri & Colorado.

Online sessions play an important role when in-person clients need to pivot because scheduling conflicts arise, the weather is nasty or someone is not feeling well enough to come to the office.

I see clients on Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursdays with select Friday availability for Psychotherapy Intensives.

Times begin at 10 a.m. & finish by 6:15 p.m.

In-person or online options vary depending on the day/time.
