Frequently Asked Questions

Currently, I primarily provide online therapy services (i.e., remote, telehealth, teletherapy) on a HIPAA secure platform.  I have found those living with chronic pain and conditions prefer the convenience of online services in the comfort of their own home.  This results in less stress by not having to drive to one more appointment, and your pain level won’t interfere with receiving online therapy services.

I also provide in-person sessions with limited availability.

Individual counseling sessions are 50-minutes.  If you prefer and benefit from longer sessions, 60-minute counseling sessions are also available.

$175 for a 50-minute therapy session

$200 for a 60-minute therapy session

I am an out-of-network provider.  If you have out-of-network benefits, claims are submitted directly to your insurance company when a session payment is made through Thrizer, a HIPAA secure platform service.

You won’t have to submit superbills or handle the complexities of out-of-network claim filing.  This is all handled automatically with end-to-end claim management support.  All claims and payments are accessible in your account.

Yes. Payment options include credit, debit, HSA, or FSA cards on a HIPAA secure payment platform.

Thrizer provides a few options for out-of-network payments once your deductible is met that include:

1) Rather than paying the full fee, you will only be charged what you owe for the session (including a 5% Thrizer service fee).
2) Pay in full and wait for your reimbursements (including a 1% Thrizer service fee).

There are no fees while you are working towards your deductible. Learn more about these options here.

If you prefer to submit your own claims, I am happy to provide you with a superbill.

I provide weekly therapy sessions because frequency and consistency are important when working to make neuroplastic changes.  In addition, research shows that weekly sessions provide greater therapy outcomes and less time in therapy overall.  You’ll have the freedom and autonomy to further integrate this work into your life even after therapy is completed.

Everyone’s recovery is different.  This can be due to several factors including stress physiology, psychosocial stressors, previous injuries, chronic stress, life event changes,  adverse childhood experiences, and medical procedures.  

The duration of time you have lived with chronic pain doesn’t determine a shorter or longer recovery.

You have the capacity to heal.  I will compassionately support and guide you on a pathway of neuroplastic healing while empowering you to further integrate this work into your life.

A medical doctor will rule out any structural issues, disease, or normal MRI abnormalities.

Common symptoms include fibromyalgia, back pain, neck pain, sciatic pain, TMJ, knee/hip/shoulder and other joint pain, pelvic pain, irritable bladder syndrome, interstitial cystitis, migraines, chronic fatigue syndrome, insomnia, tinnitus, hyperacusis, IBS, eczema, chronic hives, long covid, anxiety, depression, and OCD.  

Pain relief psychology treatment is focused on the connection between stress and chronic pain/conditions and is used once the patient is seen by a medical doctor to rule out a structural issue, infection, or disease.
