Our services
Individual Therapy
Individual therapy designed to help improve emotional wellbeing and develop essential coping skills to navigate life's challenges. Through customized treatment plans, therapists work closely with each client to identify their unique needs and goals, creating a supportive environment where they can explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.
This personalized approach allows children to acquire concrete strategies to manage stress, regulate emotions, and build resilience. As clients engage in this therapeutic process, they often experience increased self-awareness, improved communication, and stronger problem-solving abilities.
School Observation
Being able to observe a child in the environment where they are experiencing the most challenge allows therapists to build a more accurate picture of how to guide treatment. It allows the development of more effective interventions through collaboration with educators.
Supervision
As a certified supervisor in Virginia with more than 7 years experience as a licensed clinician, I am qualified to provide supervisory oversight for future clinicians seeking licensure. I use my experience in emergency assessment, trauma treatment, crisis intervention, play therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to help guide clinicians as they navigate the steps towards their credentials. My goal is to hold space for you to discover your authenticity as a therapist while safely guiding you through the establishment of an ethical practice foundation.
Workshops
Executive functioning and emotional regulation workshops offer concrete interventions to help children reach their full potential. These workshops are designed to provide parents and educators with the tools and strategies needed to support children's development in these critical areas.
The workshops cover topics such as planning, organization, impulse control, and emotional awareness. Participants will learn practical techniques to enhance children's cognitive and self-regulation skills, enabling them to navigate challenges, regulate their emotions, and unlock their full academic and personal growth.
By attending these workshops, parents and educators will gain a deeper understanding of executive functioning and emotional regulation, empowering them to create nurturing environments where children can thrive.
Social Development Groups
Group therapy can be a powerful tool to help children develop deeper social connections and the skills needed to build meaningful friendships. In a supportive, guided environment, children have the opportunity to engage with their peers, practice communication, and learn how to navigate the complexities of social relationships. This group-based approach encourages children to get a level deeper in their social bonds, moving beyond surface-level acquaintances and cultivating the trust and understanding required for true friendship. Through this process, children can develop the essential skills, such as empathy, conflict resolution, and emotional expression, that are vital for creating and maintaining fulfilling friendships.
Understanding Billing
Unfortunately, because of a number of dynamics aligned against both providers and clients, working with insurance companies is extremely limiting. Experienced therapists often choose not to work directly with insurance companies to maintain their clinical autonomy and the integrity of their therapeutic relationships. By operating outside of insurance networks, we can avoid the limiting emphasis on diagnosis and focus on providing personalized care tailored to each client's unique needs without the constraints imposed by insurance policies. It also allows a more comprehensive collaboration effort that translates to more effective treatment long term, particularly for young people who are often working with other professionals or need support in school. This approach allows us to avoid bureaucratic red tape and the pressure to conform treatment plans to insurer guidelines. Instead, we provide superbills for out-of-network reimbursement, empowering clients to seek reimbursement while ensuring that therapy remains a space for genuine healing and growth, free from external financial influences. There are many companies that can help facilitate this process. We always recommend calling your insurance company directly to know what to expect for reimbursement, or checking with a company such as Mentaya.com for help and guidance.
In our practice we bill you directly and payment is due at the time of services. We offer the option to keep a card on file for ease of payment through our portal. We can provide superbills on a monthly bases per request. Please do not hesitate to ask questions about the process.
