Speaking and Trainings
I offer a variety of services that can be used independently or combined to help maximize well-being on all levels.
Psychotherapy: Traditional talk therapy can be extremely useful in addressing a wide variety of issues. I work most often with issues related to traumatic experiences, as well as with anxiety and gender and sexuality issues (including support for gender transition). I have extensive experience with veterans and adults of all ages. (Please note that for ethical reasons I am unable to provide traditional psychotherapy to close friends. I can offer other services in those cases.) I offer therapy over video chat, which is like being in an office but we’re talking over video instead.
Yoga and Yoga Therapy: I am trained in several types of yoga, including restorative, iRest Yoga Nidra, and chair yoga. In individual yoga therapy sessions, we talk together and I create a personalized mix of yogic techniques that fit your needs and current situation. These can vary widely and are always tailored to your body and abilities. I also am available if you and others you know would like me to teach you as a group via Zoom.
Scheduling and Financial Policies
Session Rates:
The typical rate for an individual therapy session with a psychologist with my level of education and experience in Austin ranges from $150 to $200 per session. My rate for first sessions for new clients is $150 (for 60 minutes), and then sliding scale options are available for follow-up sessions. In order to keep services as accessible as possible, I offer a sliding scale between $125 and $250 per 45-50 minute session. For those who are able to offer a little more, that helps pay it forward and support those who need the lower rate. If nothing on this scale is accessible to you, please let me know and we can discuss options for you, including the Open Path program. Longer sessions of 75 minutes are available at a rate of $150-$275 per session.
If phone calls or texting sessions become lengthy (over 10 minutes) or frequent (more than once a week), a fee may apply.
At times, requests for services such as letters, court appearances, or completing paperwork may arise. If the task takes longer than 15 minutes, it may be billed at a prorated amount for the amount of time required based on your agreed-upon session rate.
Cancellation Policy:
Your time is important to me, and I do my best to set it aside for you. If you cannot make a scheduled appointment, please notify me as soon as possible to cancel and reschedule so I can offer that slot to someone else. Cancellations with less than 24 hours notice may be charged a $50 cancellation fee. The time that you emailed/texted/left a voicemail will be considered the time that you provided notice. Cancelling and rescheduling more than three times in a row without coming in for a session may be subject to a no-show fee and discussion of whether or not this is the right time for us to continue therapy.
No-Show Policy:
If you do not come for your scheduled appointment and do not contact me to cancel before the appointment time, you will be considered a no-show. The fee for no-shows is the same as your regular full session rate.
Forms of Payment:
Payment is due at the time of session. For online sessions, you will need to have a valid credit card that will be placed on file. FSA and HSA cards are accepted. No-show and cancellation fees are charged to your card on file after 7:00 pm CST the day of the missed appointment unless you have contacted me with different payment information. I do not accept insurance or bill your insurance company for you.
