Services

I know the client/therapist interaction can facilitate the ability to achieve clients’ goals.
As part of that belief, I strive to hear my clients, help them view and use their strengths, and help them build coping skills to navigate the jungle called life.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What modalities of therapy do I use?

I view Eye-Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) as a comprehensive model. That being said, I frequently integrate EMDR and its principles into therapy. Internal Family Systems (IFS), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Ego-State Therapy, Solution-focused, Gestalt, Lifespan Integration, modern psychoanalytic therapy, family systems/systems therapy, are also integrated into my work. I individualize treatment and therapy interventions to best meet the needs of each person I serve and their particular goals.

  • What is the cost, how do I pay my bill, and what forms of payment are accepted?

I charge $150 for a 50-minute session. Please note that depending on the therapy and treatment goals, some sessions could go up to 90 minutes. If or when a 90-minute
session is recommended, I will get informed consent before proceeding.

I accept Venmo, PayPal, FSA/HSA cards and…. For types of payment. Please note, I do not accept health insurance as a payment option.

  • Will my information be kept private and secure?

CTR Counseling and Consulting is a HIPPA compliant agency. It is known as a “covered entity” under HIPAA, which means it is subject to all HIPAA rules and guidelines. I take the responsibility of maintaining your privacy very seriously and I amhappy to answer questions you may have about such.

  • How Do I get a copy of my record from therapy?

You can access your medical/therapy record in a few easy steps. Please complete the HIPAA request form for records under the Forms section of this website.

  • Why did I leave my past career as a substance abuse counselor?

I received my training as a Substance Use Disorder Counselor from the University of Utah, and upon graduating from that program, I achieved the needed requirements to be a licensed substance use disorder counselor.

However, after working in the substance abuse field for a number of years, I realized my strengths and talents did not align well with the specializations needed for that area. I learned that trauma focused therapy, such as helping people with PTSD and Complex PTSD is congruent with my strengths, my soul, and my perspectives of the world.

Thus, I voluntarily chose to place my substance use disorder license on an inactive status which allows me to not have to complete continuing education units to keep it active when it was not being used.
