FAQs

Q: How will I know if you are the right therapist?

A: Finding the right therapist is important -- and it should feel aligned. I offer a complimentary 15-minute consultation for all new clients. This gives us a chance to briefly discuss what you're navigating, what you're hoping to work on, and how I approach therapy. You'll have space to ask questions and get a sense of whether my style and specialization feel like a good fit for you.

There is no obligation to move forward. Therapy works best when there is a mutual alignment, clarity, and trust.

Q: Do you provide in-person or online counseling?

A: Yes! I offer both online (teletherapy) and in-person counseling.

Q. What will we discuss in therapy?

A. Your sessions are centered on you -- your story, your patterns, your relationships, and the life you want to build. We may explore: the impact of past or current relationships, divorce or separation recovery, boundary-setting and people-pleasing patterns, anxiety, overthinking, or emotional reactivity, burnout and high-pressure professional stress, or identity shifts and rebuilding confidence.

You are always invited to bring what feels most pressing. At the same time, I will gently guide the work toward the deeper patterns that keep you stuck. It is not just a space to vent; it is a space to gain clarity, build skills, regulate your nervous system, and make aligned decisions. We move at your pace, but we move with intention.

Q. Do you prescribe medication?

No. I do not prescribe medication or provide medication management. All medication requests must be sent to your primary care physician or medical professional.

Q. What is therapy like?

A. therapy with me is intentional, collaborative, and deeply transformative. We don't stay on the surface. We explore the patterns beneath your relationships, the nervous system responses that keep you stuck, and the parts of you that learned to survive at any cost.

You can expect: honest conversations, clear feedback, emotional depth, practical tools, and accountability with compassion.

This work requires vulnerability and willingness. In return, you gain clarity, confidence, and the ability to move through your life from a regulated, empowered place. Every woman's journey is different, but our goal is the same: alignment, stability, and reclaiming your voice.

Q. Do you offer Couples Therapy?

A. At this time, I work exclusively with individuals. My focus is on supporting women navigating separation, divorce recovery, and relational healing. 

Q. Do you accept insurance?

A. Louisiana Clients:  I currently accept select insurance plans for clients located in Louisiana. If you are an existing client, your sessions will continue as scheduled under the current arrangement. Any future updates will be communicated directly and well in advance.

Texas clients: My Dallas practice operates on a private-pay model. My standard session rate is $175 for a 50-minute session. I can provide a superbill upon request for clients seeking out-of-network reimbursement through their insurance provider. 

If you have questions about coverage or reimbursement options, I'm happy to discuss this during your consultation.

Q. What about NEW Louisiana clients?

A. I accept select insurance plans for Louisiana residents. Availability for insurance-based clients is limited and dependent on clinical fit and scheduling capacity.

Q. Are you accepting new clients in Louisiana?

A. I maintain a limited number of therapy spots for Louisiana-based clients. Availability is reserved for individuals who align closely with my specialty in divorce recovery, healing from emotionally abusive relationships, and high-functioning women navigating major life transitions. If you are interested in working together, please schedule a consultation to determine fit and availability.

Q. How will payments work?

A.  All payments will be processed securely through IvyPay, a HIPAA-compliant platform designed specifically for therapy services. IvyPay accepts debit, credit, HSA, and FSA cards. A valid payment method must be on file before your first session. Payment is processed on the day services are rendered.

Q. What are the advantages of private pay?

A.  Private pay therapy allows us to work without restrictions or insurance requirements. This means greater privacy—your treatment is not reported to an insurance database; no required mental health diagnosis unless clinically appropriate; full control over the pace and length of therapy; and the flexibility to tailor our work to your goals. 

For many high-functioning women navigating complex relational trauma or divorce recovery, this freedom allows for deeper, more focused transformation.

Q. How long does therapy typically last?

A. The length of therapy varies based on your goals. Some clients engage in focused, short-term work. Others choose longer-term relational and identity-focused healing. We will collaboratively assess your progress and adjust as needed. This reassures high-functioning women who don't want to be "in therapy forever."

Q. How will I know if therapy is working?

A. therapy is not instant, but it is measurable. You'll begin to notice subtle and significant shifts over time: you respond rather than react, you communicate with clarity rather than over-explain, you stop second-guessing yourself, your nervous system feels regulated, and you trust your own decisions again.

Healing shows up in how you move through conflict, how you relate to yourself, and how much less chaos you tolerate. We will regularly revisit your goals and adjust your treatment plan approximately every 90 days to ensure the work remains focused and aligned. I also use evidence-based assessment tools to track progress and maintain quality of care.

Progress looks different for every woman -- but increased stability, self-trust, and emotional resilience are strong indicators that work is taking root.

Q. Do you have evening availability?

A. Yes. Sessions are scheduled on weekday evenings, with the last appointment at 5:00 PM, Monday through Thursday only. Availability is closed after 6 PM.

Q. How do I schedule my appointments?

A. New and existing clients may book an appointment in three ways. To book a consultation, click the 'Book Now' button and select an available date and time. Email me directly at hello@truthtohealingcounseling.com.

Q. Does what we talk about in therapy remain confidential?

A. Yes. What you share in therapy is confidential and protected by law. Your privacy is a cornerstone of this work. I do not share information outside of our therapeutic relationship without your written permission.

There are a few legal exceptions to confidentiality, including: if you are at risk of harming yourself, if you are at risk of harming someone else, if there is abuse or neglect involving a child, elder, or vulnerable adult. In those situations, I am required to take steps to ensure safety. 

Outside of those rare circumstances, what you share in therapy stays here.

Q. Will you think I'm "crazy"?

A. No. What you are experiencing makes sense in the context of what you've lived through. Many of the women I work with are intelligent, high-functioning, and capable—yet privately overwhelmed, questioning themselves, or navigating relational wounds that have shaken their confidence.

Therapy isn't for "crazy people." It's for self-aware people who are ready to understand themselves more deeply, break patterns, and heal. You won't be judged here. You will be understood. And we'll make sense of what feels confusing, together.

Q. Will there be any written record of what I say? What happens to that record?

A. Sessions are not recorded -- whether in person or virtual. I do keep brief clinical notes to document themes, progress, and treatment planning. These notes are not transcripts of our conversations. They are concise, professional summaries required for ethical and legal standards of care.

All records are securely stored in a HIPAA-compliant electronic health record system (SimplePractice) and are protected by strict confidentiality laws. Client records are maintained in accordance with state guidelines (typically a minimum of six years; longer for minors). Your privacy is taken seriously here. What you share stays protected within the limits of confidentiality outlined during informed consent.
