Psychotherapy

Therapy Sessions

Therapy can help people who are feeling anxious, overwhelmed, and stressed, to gain control, feel more confident, competent, and grounded.

Life can be challenging. It is not uncommon to have physical, emotional and mental health symptoms exacerbated by day-to day-stressors. Whether you are looking for therapy to address a specific situation, process a traumatic event or history, or seeking support for uncomfortable emotions related to anxiety, depression and/or life challenges, there is hope.​ 


Sessions are offered in-office and telehealth.


Talk therapy can help with the following:


  • anxiety and worry
  • life and work transitions
  • depression symptoms
  • ​emotional dysregulation and anger
  • trauma (bullying, violence, disasters, sexual trauma, medical mistakes or injuries, intimate parter violence, childhood emotional or physical abuse, childhood neglect)
  • ​stress and burnout
  • self-esteem and self confidence
  • ​grief
  • life altering medical concerns

Brainspotting

Brainspotting (BSP) is a specific therapeutic tool which is a bit different from tradition forms of talk therapy. It uses the neuroscience finding that where you look affects how you feel. It is a neurobiological tool derived from EMDR  by David Grand in 2003 and is used to treat somatic and emotionally-based conditions. It is a way of accessing the midbrain through the optic nerve using eye position to treat symptoms caused by traumatic memories. BSP process stimulates the body's own natural ability to heal itself from trauma. 

Often times people who have experienced significantly upsetting events don't want to talk about them. BSP is highly specialized modality with a gentle, client-centered application that does not require that you talk extensively about traumatic experiences in order to heal. We rely on the brain to know and provide what it needs. 

Imagine your brain like a filing cabinet. Unprocessed trauma can be 'misfiled' in our midbrain causing emotional symptoms. BSP locates the file and allows it to be emptied by your brain's healing capacity. 

I have been certified in Brainspotting since 2019 and can discuss the appropriateness of adding BSP sessions to your treatment plan. You can find information on the website brainspotting.com

Insurance

Out of Network (OON)

Maximize Wellness is considered out of network (OON). That means payment is due at the time of our session. You may use cash, check or credit card. 

If requested I will provide you with a "superbill" which gives you all the information needed to submit to your provider for OON reimbursement if applicable. When checking with your insurance provider you  will want to ask:

  • Do I have mental health coverage?
  • What is my deductible and was it met?
  • Am I  covered through OON benefits?
  • Is tele-therapy covered as well as in-person?

Modern Health

Maximize Wellness is contracted with Modern Health to provide employee assistance session which allows for a specific number of fully paid sessions. Usually approximately 6-10 sessions per year. After completing those sessions, if you would like to continue with me, you can and your session fee is charged at the time of the session. 

You are braver than you believe, stronger thanyou seem, and smarter than you think.
