What types of therapy do you provide?

Individual therapy for adults (18+)

✶

What types of insurance do you have?

Most BlueCross BlueShield plans, United Health Care, and Aetna. Self-pay rates are also available (initial session $200 and subsequent sessions $180).

✶

What therapeutic modalities do you utilize?

I generally use a combination of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Radically Open Dialectical Behavior Therapy (RO-DBT), Compassion-Focused Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).

✶

How long does therapy last?

This question can be viewed in two ways:

1) Each session will last for 50-55 minutes.

2) Therapy can last for a few months to a few years. It is really based on what you are looking for and wanting.

✶

What should I expect for the initial session?

I view the first session as a time for us to get to know each other and see if it is the right fit. The therapeutic relationship is the best predictor of positive outcomes. If you want to prepare, think about why you are coming to therapy and what you want out of it.

✶

Do you do in-person and telehealth?

I accommodate both! I can meet with you in person at 8850 NW 62nd Ave Ste 140 in Johnston, IA or we can meet online via telehealth.

Telehealth is similar to FaceTime or Zoom which can be done on an electronic device from another location.
