Therapy is a place to receive support and enhance coping strategies for issues such as depression, anxiety, relationship issues, unresolved childhood issues, grief, stress, and trauma.

Therapy can help you by assisting you reach your goal. The therapeutic hour is a unique vessel for growth – you get to set aside an hour a week to specifically explore a fresh perspective on difficult problems and identify alternative solutions to many of the stressors driving you to therapy. You will learn mindfulness techniques and guided imagery to help build a coping tool box for distressing life experiences.

I am a trained talk therapy provider and use a talk therapy for many of the presenting problems in my office. I have further training in couples therapy and working specifically with trauma and affairs in relationships.

I also use a modality of therapy called Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) which is an evidence based therapy modality that helps people heal from traumatic or distressing life experiences. For more information about EMDR click here.

We will discuss your presenting problem, aspects about you that make you who you are, your past and present life experiences, family of origin story, and relational patterns.

I will be able to provide you guidance to finding confidence in making your own decisions.

The nature of therapy is unique in that while much of the work we will do is grounded is science, the art of therapy makes it difficult to predict how many sessions one may need. A minimum of 12 sessions is often encouraged and research indicates that beginning with weekly sessions yield the best output.

We do not find it helpful to keep people in counseling longer than necessary. We typically review progress every couple of months and create a thoughtful plan when it is time to end services.

Due to the nature of the focus of my work I would like to note that much of our work is intensive and many of the issues I help my clients work through are long standing issues that have roots in developmental experiences. Trauma and major life stress is not something that is often rapidly treated and while many of my clients see results starting in 8-12 sessions true therapeutic change often takes a longer investment of your time.

At Three Oaks Counseling Center we are not in network with any insurance companies. The office is considered an out of network provider. Payment for services is due at the time of service. Sessions are billed at $175 per 50 minutes for individual and couples sessions. 

At times your insurance company may reimburse you for sessions. We are happy to provide you with a superbill for your sessions if you choose to pursue reimbursement from your insurance. However, we will not contact or receive contact from your insurance company. So once we provide you the superbill, it is between you and your insurance company to see if they will help cover some of the cost of therapy.

Yes, FSA and HSA accounts are accepted.

A superbill is a document that is used by healthcare providers to submit insurance claims for medical therapy services. It contains information about the patient, diagnosis codes, and a list of services provided during the visit. Superbills are typically filed along with a standard CMS-1500 claim form and help ensure that insurance companies correctly process claims for therapy services. Generally speaking, superbills make it easier for patients to get reimbursed for their therapy sessions in a timely manner.

Yes, payment is due at time of service rendered. Three Oaks Counseling Center is an out of network provider. If the therapist is not in-network, the patient will have to pay out of pocket upfront and then submit their superbill to their insurance carrier or third-party payor for reimbursement. 

The amount that can be reimbursed for therapy services after submitting a superbill will depend on the specific insurance plan. Ultimately, individuals should contact their insurance provider to understand what portion of their therapy costs are covered by their policy.

Generally speaking, therapists do not typically prescribe medications. This is because there are different licensing requirements for prescribing medication than for providing therapy services. To receive a prescription, individuals must consult with a physician or psychiatrist who holds the appropriate licensure to do so. That being said, mental health professionals such as therapists may provide guidance on the use of medication when needed and will work in collaboration with a prescribing provider to coordinate the most effective treatment plan.
