Questions people often ask
-
Insurance usually requires a diagnosis and can limit how long or how often we meet. Private pay keeps our work between us and lets us decide together what you need.
-
Yes. I'm licensed in Texas, so you need to be physically located in Texas for every session, even if you're traveling.
-
I've completed a master's degree in counseling and passed the national licensing exam. As an LPC Associate, I practice under the supervision of Gail K. Roaten, PhD, LPC-S while working toward full licensure. Supervision never includes your name or identifying details.
-
We'll decide together. It depends on what you're working on and what fits your life and budget.
-
We'll meet on Zoom, using a HIPAA-compliant account with a signed Business Associate Agreement. Scheduling, paperwork, and messages go through Sessions Health, a secure client portal, and you'll get your Zoom link there before each session.

Good Faith Estimate
Under the No Surprises Act, you have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate of the expected cost of your care if you aren't using insurance. You can ask for one at any time.
If you need help right now
If things feel like too much right now, you don’t have to wait for a session. I’m not always able to respond to messages right away, so please call or text 988 any time, day or night. If you’re in immediate danger, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department.
