Therapeutic ​Approaches


Understanding the methods we might use in therapy can help you feel more comfortable and ​informed about your journey. Here’s a brief overview of some of the approaches I incorporate ​into my practice:


Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT):


CBT is a practical, goal-oriented approach that helps you identify and change negative thought ​patterns and behaviors. We work together to understand how your thoughts influence your ​feelings and actions. By challenging and replacing unhelpful thoughts, you can develop healthier, ​more positive ways of thinking and behaving.


Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR):


EMDR is a powerful technique often used to help individuals process and heal from traumatic ​experiences. Through a series of guided eye movements or other forms of rhythmic stimulation, ​EMDR helps your brain reprocess traumatic memories so that they become less distressing over ​time. This approach can be particularly effective for those struggling with PTSD and other trauma-​related symptoms.


Brief Solution-Focused Therapy (BSFT):


BSFT is a short-term therapy that focuses on finding practical solutions to current challenges ​rather than dwelling on past issues. In our sessions, we concentrate on identifying your strengths ​and resources, setting clear goals, and developing strategies to achieve those goals. This ​approach is especially useful when you’re looking for quick, effective ways to overcome specific ​problems and make positive changes in your life.


Trauma-Informed Care:

Trauma-Informed Care is an overarching approach that recognizes the widespread impact of ​trauma and seeks to create an environment of safety, trust, and empowerment. In my practice, ​this means that I always consider your past experiences and potential triggers, ensuring that ​therapy is a supportive and non-judgmental space where you feel understood and respected.


Services

In counseling, I work one-on-one with adults aged 18 and older to address personal challenges and promote ​mental well-being. Sessions are tailored to your unique needs, focusing on areas such as overcoming past ​trauma, managing anxiety or depression, improving self-esteem, or navigating life transitions. Together, we ​create a safe and supportive space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings, set goals, and ​develop strategies to achieve a healthier, more balanced life.

How do I submit my super bill?

(If I don’t currently take your insurance plan according to Headway)



Insurance companies typically have a time limit to turn in your super bill of 90 days or more, some up to 180 days. ​This can fall under “timely filing”. To submit your super bill, contact your insurance company and ask for “member ​services” or check their website for instructions. There are usually three options for turning in a super bill: mail, fax, ​or through an online portal.


Mail - You can ask your insurance company for an address to mail the super bill to. Make sure you allow time for ​delivery to stay within your limit for timely filing.


Fax - if you want to keep your protected health information private, we suggest not faxing from a public fax ​machine (such as at the library) or a work fax machine. The receipt that shows your fax was sent will include this ​private health information.


Online portal - most insurance providers will have an online portal through which you can upload your super bill. It ​is the most secure option to send your super bill, as the website will request a login or password. It is also faster ​than mail or fax. Be sure to ask your insurance about this option.


What can you expect after you submit a super bill?


Insurance companies typically have a time limit for when you can submit a super bill. If you submit your super bill ​after this time limit, you risk losing any potential reimbursement.

It can typically take your health insurance 2-4 weeks to process your super bill. They will either pay the full amount ​of services minus your copay, or they will put this amount towards your deductible. If your super bill is denied, call ​your insurance and request information about the denial.
