Therapy is unique for everyone! The first time we meet, I will ask several questions to get to know you better and we can identify your treatment goals. Sometimes sessions are structured and other times it is an open space for you to discuss whatever you choose.

Ideally, you will leave therapy feeling validated, safe, and hopeful. Therapists offer unbiased approaches often unlike what friends or family provide. Your therapist is a neutral person to guide, support, and challenge you as you grow and heal.

This is a great question and it is different for everyone. Ideally, you will be in therapy until you reach your goals and are feeling better! Some people discontinue altogether once goals are met, while others prefer a check-in every few months. We will work around whatever is most comfortable for you.

The first session usually lasts 50-60 minutes. All subsequent sessions are 50 minutes total.

This can vary from person to person. Most people meet biweekly, although some prefer weekly or monthly. Frequency can also change throughout your treatment. You may want to meet less often once you are feeling better. Other times if you feel the need for an additional session, we can try to make that work!

I work Mondays 9am-4pm, Tuesdays 11am-5pm, Wednesdays 9am-5pm, and Thursdays 9am-4pm. I do not work on Fridays or weekends. You may reach out via e-mail between sessions. I may not reply right away, but will be sure to respond as soon as I am able.

Yes! I offer sessions both in-person and online.

You can access your virtual session by going to your client portal. Links are available on the top right corner of the webpage as well as in your therapist's email signature. If you are having trouble, reach out to your therapist directly.

Before your first session, please have the following completed ahead of time in your client portal: - All paperwork/forms - Upload a copy of your insurance card/information - Upload a copy of your method of payment (credit/debit card or HSA card) *I do not accept cash at this time* - Check with your insurance company to see what you will be expected to pay for outpatient mental health services. You can get this information by calling the customer service number on the back of your card. This is your responsibility and once a session is billed under insurance, I am unable to switch to out-of-pocket fees due to my contract with each insurance.

I do accept several insurances currently: Wellmark/BCBS, Optum/UHC, Evernorth (formerly Cigna), and Midland's Choice. It is your responsibility to make sure I am in-network with your plan prior to our first session. Your insurance plan will also provide you with information about a copay, if one applies. If you have a high deductible plan with no copay, I also offer out-of-pocket rates that are often more affordable, but do not apply toward your deductible. Please reach out to me with any specific questions. *All payments are due at the time of service. You may pay using credit/debit card or HSA card. I am currently unable to accept cash payments.*

Due to the growing demand and need for mental health services, every session time is valuable. Clients are therefore required to provide a minimum of 24-hour notice if they are not able to attend a session. Thriving Therapy, LLC reserves the right to charge a fee of $70 if a client misses a session and does not give prior notice. The first offense will result in verbal and written a warning. The second offense will result in a fee and removal from a recurring spot on the schedule (if applicable). The third offense will result in a fee and termination of the therapeutic relationship.
