In the first session, I will focus on getting to know you and gathering information to get an overall picture of your life. We will also talk about your goals and what you want to get out of therapy.  

I am an out-of-network provider. Upon request, I can provide a superbill that you may submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement. A superbill is a detailed receipt that will include a diagnostic code for insurance companies. 

What questions should I ask my insurance company to determine reimbursement?

• Do I have out-of-network coverage?

• What is the percentage reimbursed for psychotherapy code 90837?

• Do you reimburse for associate licensee services?

Trauma isn’t just about what happened—it’s about what the nervous system had to do to survive. When experiences were overwhelming or unsafe, the body developed strategies to protect you. Those strategies often continue long after the situation has passed. Therapy helps your nervous system slowly experience safety again so those patterns don’t have to work as hard. 

EMDR therapy helps the brain process traumatic or distressing experiences that may still feel “stuck” in the nervous system. Through guided bilateral stimulation and careful pacing, EMDR allows the brain to reprocess these memories so they become less overwhelming and more integrated.

EMDR is always done at a pace that prioritizes safety and nervous system regulation.
