FAQ

Not at this time, and we’d love to explain why. We have experience working with insurance in the past and found that the services to our clients suffered due to the time investment into billing management and away from direct client care. Other reasons include: limitations of care that insurance companies placed on the sessions, requirement to squeeze in more sessions per day (due to the rates that insurance pays the clinicians) thus being less present and focused on each client, lack of privacy and autonomy for the clients, burnout due to split duties. We want our clinicians to be fully present and engaged with client care and client care only, and excluding the insurance companies from our practice allows that.

You get direct one-on-one care with a clinician that remembers your name, remembers your concerns, and cares and works with you in a collaborative way to address your concerns. You get access to your therapist via phone, email and direct message through Simple Practice. Because we are free from arduous billing tasks we are able to respond more quickly, in some cases even after hours, and be present for you not only in the hour we’re together in session – but all the time in between. We’re not only your therapist at the office in our hour in session. When you book with us we’re your therapist throughout treatment, period.

You can book easily by going to our book now page!

After you book your therapist will contact you directly to introduce themselves and will send you the intake paperwork via email from our EHR Simple Practice. Once you complete the intake paperwork you’ll be all ready for your first session. If you’d like to talk to your therapist before your first session you can coordinate a free consultation call with them via their direct email or phone.

In your first session you and your therapist will get to know each other and you’ll get an opportunity to share how they can help. You are free to share as much or as little as you feel comfortable. Starting therapy can feel daunting and you are under no pressure to share EVERYTHING or anything you don’t wish to. From there, you two will coordinate a schedule of care and treatment goals.

Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy has been given the status of the “Gold Standard” for couples therapy.

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) is a humanistic, evidence-based approach to psychotherapy, drawing primarily from attachment theory to facilitate the creation of secure, vibrant connection with self and others. Rooted in the science of emotions and attachment, EFT helps clients identify and transform the negative processing and interaction patterns that create distress.
