1. What are your rates? Do you accept insurance?
My fee is $150 for a 50-minute individual therapy session and $175 for a 50-minute initial intake, couples, or family session.
Extended therapy sessions and intensives are also available when clinically appropriate:
If I am out-of-network with your insurance plan, you may still be able to:
Many clients choose to use insurance, while others prefer to pay out-of-pocket. There are benefits to both options.
When using insurance, providers are required to assign a mental health diagnosis and share certain information with the insurance company to demonstrate “medical necessity.”
Some clients prefer private pay because it allows for:
If you’re unsure about any part of this process, you’re not alone, insurance can feel confusing. I’m here to help guide you so you can make the decision that feels most comfortable and supportive for you.
2. Do you offer virtual therapy sessions or in-person?
My practice is fully telehealth, and all sessions take place through a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform.
Many clients appreciate the comfort, privacy, and convenience of meeting from their own home or another quiet space. Virtual therapy also allows for greater flexibility and makes it easier to stay consistent with appointments.
If you are in the state of Texas at the time of your session, we can meet wherever feels most comfortable and supportive for you.
3. What are your business hours?
I offer sessions Monday through Thursday with the following availability:
Evening sessions tend to fill quickly, so feel free to reach out if those times work best for you. We can review current availability together and find a schedule that feels consistent and manageable.
4.What’s your cancellation policy?
If you need to cancel or reschedule, I ask for at least 72 hours’ notice. Please reach out during regular business hours (Monday-Wednesday 9AM-5PM, Thursday 9AM-4PM).
Appointments cancelled with less than 72 hours’ notice, as well as no-shows, are charged the full session fee. For example, Monday appointments cancelled over the weekend fall within the 72-hour window and will be subject to the late cancellation fee.
This policy is in place because your appointment time is reserved exclusively for you.
If you arrive late, your session will still end at the scheduled time. Sessions may be considered cancelled if you are more than 15 minutes late.
That said, life happens. If something unexpected comes up, we can always talk through it with understanding and care.
5. How long will I be in therapy for?
Therapy is a personalized process, so the length of time varies for everyone.
Many clients notice meaningful progress within about 6 months of consistent sessions, with deeper, lasting change often occurring over a year or longer. On average, clients tend to work with me for approximately 23 months.
We will regularly check in on your goals and adjust the pace of therapy to meet your needs, so you’re in therapy for as long as it’s helpful, and no longer than necessary.
6. How do I set up an appointment?

7. What can I expect during my first appointment?
You can expect a warm, supportive virtual space where we begin getting to know each other.
Many clients come to me after therapy experiences that felt surface-level or disconnected. My approach blends compassionate warmth with structure and accountability, helping us move beyond just talking and into meaningful, lasting change.
After your consultation, you’ll complete paperwork electronically so we can use our first session intentionally. During your intake, we’ll explore:

8. Do you work with children, teens, couples or families?
I work with teens, young adults, and adults, and offer individual, couples, and family therapy.
Because my practice is fully virtual, I work with children on a case-by-case basis, as some children benefit more from in-person support. When appropriate, I’m happy to provide referrals.
9. What is EMDR therapy?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a powerful, evidence-based therapy that helps the brain heal from distressing or traumatic experiences.
It uses a bilateral stimulation (such as guided eye movements or tapping) to help the brain reprocess memories so they no longer feel overwhelming. Instead of reliving the intensity of past experiences, clients can recall them with greater calm and clarity.
Research shows that 65-86% of people with PTSD no longer meet the criteria for PTSD after completing EMDR therapy, making it a highly effective treatment option.
10. What are EMDR intensives?
EMDR intensives are an accelerated therapy option for those who want to make deeper progress in a shorter period.
These sessions are typically 4 hours in length, allowing for extended, focused work without the interruptions of weekly sessions.
EMDR intensives can be especially helpful if you:
11. Do you offer Christian or faith-based counseling?
At Faith Therapy and Wellness, we recognize that faith can be a meaningful part of the healing process.
For clients who are open to it, I offer Christian, faith-based counseling that integrates spiritual beliefs into therapy. This may include exploring themes like hope, purpose, and restoration.
I also support clients in processing and healing from religious or spiritual trauma, sometimes through EMDR.
Your beliefs and preferences are always respected, and we can incorporate faith as much or as little as feels right for you.
12. Do you give homework?
Yes, when it feels helpful and aligned with your goals.
Between sessions, this might include:
That said, I understand how busy and overwhelming life can feel. We’ll collaborate on what feels manageable, and we can always work through assignments together during sessions if needed.
13. How do I know if you’re the right fit for me?
A strong therapeutic relationship should feel safe, supportive, and aligned.
Our consultation call is a great place to start in getting a sense of that connection. Throughout our work together, I’ll also check in to make sure the process continues to feel helpful for you.
If at any point you feel unsure, we can talk about it openly. If needed, I’m happy to help connect you with another therapist who may be a better fit. Finding the right match matters, and if one therapist doesn’t feel right, it doesn’t mean therapy won’t work for you.
14. What do I do if I’m in crisis or need support between sessions?
If you’re going through a particularly difficult time, you’re always welcome to reach out to request an additional session. If availability allows, I will do my best to schedule you as soon as possible.
If you are in crisis or feel unsafe, please call 911, go to the nearest emergency room, or contact the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline.
Between sessions, you’re welcome to send non-urgent messages through your patient portal. You can also use the grounding tools and coping strategies we’ve practiced, and we’ll process anything that comes up in your next session.
15. What if I get overwhelmed or disassociate in session?
This can be a very normal response, especially when working through past trauma.
If you begin to feel overwhelmed or disconnected, we will slow down, pause, and use grounding techniques to help you feel present and supported. There is no pressure to push through discomfort.
We’ll move at a pace that feels safe for you and return to deeper work only when you’re ready.
16. Do I have to cry?
Not at all.
Some people cry in therapy, and some don’t. There’s no expectation to feel or express emotions in a certain way. You don’t have to perform or hold anything back, you’re welcome to show up exactly as you are.
17. Can therapy help me if I’m “fine” on the outside?
Yes absolutely.
Many people who appear “fine” externally are carrying a lot internally. Therapy is a space where you don’t have to be the strong one or have to hold everything together.
You don’t have to be perfect, productive, or have it all figured out here. You are allowed to simply be, and that’s often where meaningful change begins.
18. Do I have to have a specific goal or problem to start therapy?
Not at all.
You don’t need to have everything figured out before starting therapy. Part of the process is gaining clarity. Together, we can identify what’s coming up for you and begin shaping goals that feel meaningful and supportive.
19. Do I have to know what I want to talk about or work on in session?
No.
Some of the most meaningful sessions happen organically. You don’t have to come in with a plan.
If you’re ever unsure where to start, I can help guide the session with questions, reflections, or tools to support you, so there’s no pressure to have it all prepared.
20. Can I talk about religion or politics?
Absolutely.
Therapy is a space where all parts of you are welcome, including your beliefs, values, and questions. We can explore these topics with openness and curiosity, without judgment or pressure to adopt any perspective.
21. Can I eat during session?
Yes, absolutely.
Life can be busy, and sometimes this hour is your only time to pause and take care of yourself. You’re welcome to bring a snack, comfortable, and settle in.
Taking care of your basic needs is part of the process, you don’t have to hide that here.
My fee is $150 for a 50-minute individual therapy session and $175 for a 50-minute initial intake, couples, or family session.
Extended therapy sessions and intensives are also available when clinically appropriate:
- EMDR intensives (4 hours): $600.
If I am out-of-network with your insurance plan, you may still be able to:
- Use a Health Savings Account (HSA) or Flexible Spending Account (FSA)
- Receive partial reimbursement through your insurance provider
Many clients choose to use insurance, while others prefer to pay out-of-pocket. There are benefits to both options.
When using insurance, providers are required to assign a mental health diagnosis and share certain information with the insurance company to demonstrate “medical necessity.”
Some clients prefer private pay because it allows for:
- Greater privacy and confidentiality
- More flexibility in treatment (without insurance limitations or requirements)
If you’re unsure about any part of this process, you’re not alone, insurance can feel confusing. I’m here to help guide you so you can make the decision that feels most comfortable and supportive for you.
2. Do you offer virtual therapy sessions or in-person?

Many clients appreciate the comfort, privacy, and convenience of meeting from their own home or another quiet space. Virtual therapy also allows for greater flexibility and makes it easier to stay consistent with appointments.

- Monday- Wednesday: 9:00 AM- 12:00 PM, 1:00 PM- 5:00 PM
- Thursday: 9:00 AM- 12:00 PM, 1:00 PM- 4:00 PM
- *Appointments outside of these hours may be available for EMDR intensives to accommodate scheduling needs
Evening sessions tend to fill quickly, so feel free to reach out if those times work best for you. We can review current availability together and find a schedule that feels consistent and manageable.
4.What’s your cancellation policy?
If you need to cancel or reschedule, I ask for at least 72 hours’ notice. Please reach out during regular business hours (Monday-Wednesday 9AM-5PM, Thursday 9AM-4PM).

EMDR intensives are an accelerated therapy option for those who want to make deeper progress in a shorter period.
These sessions are typically 4 hours in length, allowing for extended, focused work without the interruptions of weekly sessions.
EMDR intensives can be especially helpful if you:
- Feel stuck in traditional talk therapy
- Have limited availability
- Want to focus deeply on trauma healing
11. Do you offer Christian or faith-based counseling?
At Faith Therapy and Wellness, we recognize that faith can be a meaningful part of the healing process.
For clients who are open to it, I offer Christian, faith-based counseling that integrates spiritual beliefs into therapy. This may include exploring themes like hope, purpose, and restoration.
I also support clients in processing and healing from religious or spiritual trauma, sometimes through EMDR.
Your beliefs and preferences are always respected, and we can incorporate faith as much or as little as feels right for you.
12. Do you give homework?
Yes, when it feels helpful and aligned with your goals.
Between sessions, this might include:
- Practicing coping or grounding skills
- Journaling or tracking thoughts, emotions or triggers
- Reading or workbook exercises
- Podcasts or videos
That said, I understand how busy and overwhelming life can feel. We’ll collaborate on what feels manageable, and we can always work through assignments together during sessions if needed.
