Trust in Your Goodness Counseling, LLC

“Are you a faith-based therapist?” 

 

No, I am not a faith-based therapist. It is important to note, however, that I view faith/spirituality as a vital component of human well-being and work with clients from a variety of different faith backgrounds. It is a topic that I am comfortable discussing and exploring with a client. 

 

“Do you do family therapy?” 

 

I will sometimes invite family members into client sessions with client permission, but I am primarily an individual therapist first and foremost. I pride myself on having collaborative relationships with families of clients that I work with, but I am not a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT), therefore I believe it is more in the realm of my clinical expertise to primarily support a client individually and view family work as supplementary. 

 

“Do you work with 2SLGBTQIA+ clients?” 

 

Absolutely. I feel very professionally invigorated by my therapeutic work with queer clients and serve to be an asset to the queer community. 

 

“Do you accept insurance?” 

I do not currently accept insurances and plan to only focus on private pay moving forward. With that said, I can provide you with a superbill for potential out-of-network reimbursement. I also will work with clients on a sliding scale (low end of $80) to meet them within their financial means if they cannot afford my standard $120 session fee. My goal is to never price a client out of therapy and to keep that open as a point of conversation during the continuity of our therapeutic journey.

 

“Do you offer telehealth or virtual appointments?”

I offer virtual appointments through my electronic health records system app, Simple Practice. I encourage clients to consider the benefits of meeting with myself in-person. I have found a relational warmth and connection for in-person therapy that in my professional opinion is hard to consistently replicate in telehealth appointments. 

 

“What does your client background look like?” 

 

I consistently work within a developmental range of middle-school to adult clients. I work with a variety of clients of different backgrounds and I enjoy doing so. Variety is something I enjoy in my professional work, so don’t hesitate to reach out if you think we might be a good fit! The only demographics that fit outside of my professional areas of expertise are elementary-age children and couples’ therapy. 

 

“What does therapy look like?” 

 

Therapy doesn’t always have to look like the classic sit across from your therapist on a couch. I do offer “walk and talk” therapy with my clients in urban or natural spaces. If you have any suggestions, I’m always open to hear them! 

 

“What is your style?” 

 

I am a therapist who is warm, but direct. I want you to feel that I am an active participant in your therapy, whether through attentive listening, conversation, or reflection. I will be honest with you if I have any concerns about you. I will frequently check-in with my clients about therapy progress and welcome professional feedback. It is vital that you have a voice during our time together and have the belief that I am open to hearing your feedback, goals, and any concerns that may arise during our time together in therapy.
