"The LORD himself goes before you and will be with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged." (NIV, Deut. 31:8)

Individual Therapy

God created each of us with unique gifts and boundless potential. Individual therapy provides a safe, supportive space to explore and celebrate these qualities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), an effective approach to treat anxiety and depression, is utilized in treatment. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns, building healthier habits, and understanding how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are connected. This process supports the holistic well-being of individuals by empowering clients to improve both daily functioning, increase emotional resilience, and experience a higher quality of life.

Family Therapy

Every family has the potential to create a nurturing environment where each member is valued, supported and empowered. When families experience connection and harmony, they not only thrive, but also set a powerful example for the broader community to pursue compassion and unity. Family therapy supports healthy changes that strengthen the family system to remain resilient against life's external pressures.

To support families in reaching these goals, Parent Management Training and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) are used. Parent Management Training is an evidence-based behavioral approach proven to be effective for children with disruptive behaviors and/or Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). This approach focuses on equipping parents with practical strategies that can be consistently applied at home, school, and in everyday life. When parents implement effective behavior management strategies, families are better positioned to flourish.

CBT and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) are also used to treat anxiety and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). ERP helps children safely confront situations and thoughts that provoke distress, allowing them to learn that the stressor is more manageable than initially believed.

Pricing

Therapy is an investment of time, effort, and financial commitment, but your mental health is priceless. Many people find the clarity, healing, and personal growth they gain far outweigh the cost. Investing in yourself is meaningful- and you’re worth it.

Self-Pay

Benefits of Self-Pay:
- - Greater confidentiality- Treatment remains private and is not shared with insurance companies, offering a higher level of confidentiality.
  - No mandatory diagnosis- Clients may seek support for stress, personal growth, relationship concerns, or other goals without having a formal diagnosis added to their health record.
  - More provider choice- Clients choose the therapist who best fits their needs rather than being restricted to an insurance network.
  - Flexible, customizable treatment- Sessions are tailored to the client's goals without insurance-imposed limits on frequency, duration, or type of therapy.
  - Consistency of care- Coverage does not change if a client switches jobs or insurance plans.
  - Transparent cost- Costs are clear and upfront, with no surprise fees or denied claims.
Rates:
- - Initial diagnostic assessment: $200
  - Follow-up individual sessions: $150
  - Follow-up family sessions: $175
Payment: Payment is due at the time of the session and can be made using a credit card, debit card, or FSA/HSA card.

Affordability:
- - Clients are encouraged to check with their insurance provider regarding potential out-of-network reimbursement. While services are offered on a self-pay basis at this time, sliding-scale rates may be available based on household income and family size.

"Do not look forward to what may happen tomorrow; the same everlasting Father who cares for you today will take care of you tomorrow and every day. Either He will shield you from suffering, or He will give you unfailing strength to bear it." - St. Francis De Sales
