Therapy That Makes Room for the Work
Therapy is not one size fits all.
Sometimes you need a focused hour to work through what is happening right now. Other times, trauma, longstanding relationship patterns, or conversations involving the people who matter most need more room.
At Trauma Wise Healing, treatment is designed around the work we are doing together rather than requiring every client to fit into the same format.
Initial assessments are intentionally longer than a traditional therapy appointment. These 90-minute sessions give us time to understand what brings you to therapy, explore relevant history and relationship patterns, clarify your goals, and begin developing a thoughtful treatment plan.
Trauma Wise Healing is a private-pay telehealth practice providing specialized therapy for adults, couples, and adult families.
Individual Therapy
For Cycle Breakers Ready to Understand the Patterns Beneath the Symptoms
$200 per hour
Individual therapy is for adults who want to understand not only what they are struggling with, but where those patterns came from and what it might look like to do something differently.
Many of the people I work with are cycle breakers: adults navigating the impact of family-of-origin experiences, trauma, attachment injuries, difficult relationships, chronic overfunctioning, people pleasing, perfectionism, complicated boundaries, or the realization that the ways they learned to survive are no longer the ways they want to live.
Treatment is individualized and may incorporate EMDR, Advanced Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), somatic and nervous system informed approaches, attachment and parts work, CBT, DBT, ACT, CPT, and other evidence-informed approaches depending on your needs and goals.
Beginning Individual Therapy
Initial Assessment
90 minutes | $300
Individual therapy begins with a comprehensive 90-minute assessment. This provides additional time for history gathering, assessment of your current concerns, identification of treatment goals, and initial treatment planning.
Ongoing Individual Therapy
60 minutes | $200
90 minutes | $300
Following the initial assessment, we will determine whether 60 or 90-minute sessions make the most sense for your treatment.
Extended sessions may be particularly helpful when we are doing EMDR, ART, trauma processing, or other experiential work that benefits from additional time.
Couples Therapy
Understanding the Pattern Between You, Not Just the Argument in Front of You
$235 per hour
Relationships rarely struggle in a vacuum.
We each bring our histories, attachment experiences, protective strategies, expectations, family-of-origin experiences, and learned relationship patterns into the relationships we build as adults.
Couples therapy at Trauma Wise Healing goes beyond simply teaching better communication. Our work focuses on understanding the patterns underneath recurring conflict and helping partners create something different together.
Couples therapy may address:
• Recurring conflict and communication breakdowns
• Emotional disconnection
• Attachment injuries
• Betrayal and ruptured trust
• Family-of-origin patterns affecting the relationship
• Intimacy and vulnerability
• Major life and family transitions
• Parenting and co-parenting stress
• Relationship uncertainty
• Repair following significant relational injuries
My approach to couples therapy is attachment, trauma, and relationship informed.
My advanced couples training includes Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT), with certification anticipated by the end of October 2026, as well as specialized training in Discernment Counseling for mixed-agenda couples. I am also completing Level 1 Imago Relationship Therapy training, anticipated by the end of January 2027.
These approaches allow us to look beyond the surface-level disagreement and understand the relational cycle that keeps bringing you back to the same painful place.
Beginning Couples Therapy
Couples therapy begins a little differently at Trauma Wise Healing.
Before beginning conjoint treatment, I meet individually with each partner for a 90-minute assessment.
These appointments are part of the couples assessment process rather than separate individual psychotherapy. They allow each partner to share their experience of the relationship, relevant personal and relationship history, concerns, goals, and other information that may be important to our work.
Meeting separately also gives me an opportunity to assess whether conjoint couples therapy is clinically appropriate before asking both partners to begin treatment together.
Individual Partner Assessment
90 minutes | $350 per partner
Each partner completes and is billed separately for their individual assessment.
Once both assessments have been completed, we will discuss whether conjoint couples therapy is appropriate and recommendations for moving forward.
Couples Therapy
90 minutes | $350
When conjoint treatment is appropriate, couples generally begin with 90-minute sessions.
Relationship work involves two individual experiences as well as the relationship itself. The additional time allows each partner adequate space without ending just as we reach the heart of the conversation.
As treatment progresses and the work becomes more focused, we may transition to shorter sessions when clinically appropriate.
60-minute focused session | $235
Family Therapy for Adult Children & Parents
When You Love Each Other, But the Relationship Isn’t Working
$235 per hour
Family therapy at Trauma Wise Healing is intentionally different from generalized family counseling.
My family therapy practice focuses primarily on adult children and their parents, as well as adult family members navigating longstanding relational injuries, family-of-origin patterns, strained relationships, threatened estrangement, or reconciliation after periods of limited or no contact.
I have completed specialized training with Dr. Joshua Coleman, whose clinical work focuses extensively on parent and adult-child estrangement and reconciliation. This training complements my background in trauma, attachment, family systems, and intergenerational patterns and informs a balanced approach to these extraordinarily complicated relationships.
There Is Room in the Middle
If you have spent time searching for information about family estrangement online, you have probably encountered two very different narratives.
In one, estranged parents may be presumed to be unwilling to take accountability, and distance or no contact can become the assumed solution.
In the other, adult children may be characterized as entitled, overly influenced by therapy or partners, or unfairly abandoning parents who did the best they could.
I don’t believe families are helped by beginning at either extreme.
Parents can have genuinely loved their children, sacrificed for them, and done the best they knew how to do while still having caused hurt that deserves to be understood.
Adult children can have legitimate pain, boundaries, and experiences that deserve to be taken seriously without every parental mistake automatically meaning that a relationship is beyond repair.
Intent matters.
Impact matters too.
Boundaries can be necessary.
Boundaries can also sometimes become rigid, punitive, or poorly communicated.
Parents may need to take accountability and change longstanding behaviors.
Adult children may also have patterns, assumptions, or behaviors worth examining.
More than one thing can be true at the same time.
That middle space is where I work.
Therapy Without Choosing Sides
My role is not to determine who is the good parent, the ungrateful child, the victim, or the person to blame.
It is also not to guarantee reconciliation.
Instead, therapy creates a structured space where we can become curious about what happened between you.
We look at the relationship from multiple perspectives, identify patterns that continue to create injury or disconnection, distinguish intention from impact, and help each person identify what belongs to them.
That may require accountability.
It may require boundaries.
It may require grieving things that cannot be changed.
It may require learning to relate to one another as the people you are today rather than continuing to respond through roles established decades ago.
When reconciliation is possible, the goal is not simply to resume contact.
The goal is not contact at any cost. The goal is a healthier relationship when a healthier relationship is possible.
Family Therapy May Address
• Adult child and parent conflict
• Estrangement or threatened estrangement
• Estrangement prevention
• Reconciliation following periods of limited or no contact
• Longstanding relational injuries
• Family-of-origin trauma and intergenerational patterns
• Boundaries and changing family roles
• Differences in memories and interpretations of childhood experiences
• Intention versus impact
• Accountability without shame or character attacks
• Communication after years of defensiveness or misunderstanding
• Rebuilding trust and emotional safety
• Adult sibling relationships
• Grandparent relationships and access to grandchildren
• Navigating spouses and partners within the larger family system
• Determining what level of contact or relationship is sustainable
You Don’t Have to Wait for Estrangement
Some of the most important reconciliation work happens before there is an estrangement to reconcile.
If conversations repeatedly end in conflict, an adult child is beginning to withdraw, a parent feels increasingly afraid of saying the wrong thing, boundaries have become a source of ongoing tension, or someone has begun talking about limiting contact, therapy can provide a place to slow the process down.
Seeking family therapy does not mean someone has to be proven right.
It means the relationship matters enough to examine what is happening before the existing pattern becomes even harder to change.
Reconciliation After Estrangement
When contact has already been reduced or stopped, reconciliation requires more than deciding to “move on.”
When participating family members are willing, therapy can help explore what led to the rupture, what each person would need to feel safer in the relationship, what accountability and repair might look like, and whether expectations for a future relationship can realistically be aligned.
Reconciliation does not have to mean returning to the relationship exactly as it existed before.
Sometimes successful repair means building an entirely different relationship with clearer boundaries, different expectations, greater accountability, and a better understanding of one another.
Sometimes therapy may also help family members recognize that reconciliation is not currently possible.
You Don’t Have to Agree About the Past to Start
One of the biggest barriers to repairing adult family relationships is the belief that everyone must first agree on exactly what happened.
You may never remember every experience the same way.
A parent can remember a childhood as loving and stable while an adult child remembers experiences that were deeply painful. An adult child can remember a parent’s behavior one way while the parent remembers their intentions and circumstances very differently.
Therapy does not require us to manufacture agreement.
It asks whether we can become curious about another person’s experience without immediately needing that experience to invalidate our own.
That is often where something different becomes possible.
Beginning Adult Family Therapy
Before beginning conjoint family treatment, I meet individually with each participating family member for a 90-minute assessment.
These appointments are part of the family therapy assessment process rather than separate individual psychotherapy relationships.
Individual assessment provides each family member the opportunity to share their experience of the relationship, relevant history, concerns, and hopes for therapy without immediately having to negotiate competing perspectives in the same room.
It also allows me to assess whether conjoint family therapy is clinically appropriate and begin identifying the patterns we may need to address if we move forward together.
Individual Family Member Assessment
90 minutes | $350 per participating family member
Each participating family member completes and is billed separately for their individual assessment.
Once the assessment process is complete, we will discuss whether and how to move forward with conjoint family therapy.
Adult Family Therapy
90 minutes | $350
When conjoint treatment is appropriate, family therapy generally begins with 90-minute sessions so that multiple people and perspectives have adequate space, particularly when conversations involve years of accumulated history.
As progress is made and the work becomes more focused, we may transition to shorter sessions when clinically appropriate.
60-minute focused session | $235
Individual meetings may occasionally be incorporated later in treatment when clinically appropriate while remaining part of the broader family treatment.
Discernment Counseling
When One Partner Is Leaning Out and the Other Is Leaning In
$235 per hour
Sometimes couples come to therapy when they are no longer in the same place about whether they want the relationship to continue.
One partner may be considering separation or divorce while the other wants to preserve or repair the relationship. These are known as mixed-agenda couples.
Immediately beginning traditional couples therapy may not be appropriate because both partners have not yet agreed that repairing the relationship is the goal.
Discernment Counseling is a structured, short-term process developed specifically for couples at this crossroads.
My work follows the Discernment Counseling model developed by Dr. Bill Doherty and the Minnesota Couples on the Brink Project.
Rather than asking both partners to immediately commit to saving the relationship, Discernment Counseling helps each person develop greater clarity and confidence about what direction makes the most sense.
Three Possible Paths
Path One: Stay as You Are
Continue the relationship as it currently exists without making an immediate decision to separate or committing to an intensive process of relationship repair.
Path Two: Move Toward Separation or Divorce
Decide to end the relationship and begin determining what a thoughtful separation may look like.
Path Three: Commit to Couples Therapy
Take separation or divorce off the table for approximately six months and commit fully to a period of couples therapy focused on understanding and changing the patterns that contributed to the relationship reaching this point.
The goal of Discernment Counseling is not to convince either partner to stay or leave.
It is to help both partners better understand what happened to the relationship, recognize their own contributions to its difficulties, and make a thoughtful decision about what comes next.
Beginning Discernment Counseling
Before beginning the conjoint Discernment Counseling process, I meet individually with each partner for assessment.
Individual Partner Assessment
90 minutes | $350 per partner
These assessments help me understand each partner’s perspective, assess the mixed-agenda dynamic, and determine whether Discernment Counseling is an appropriate next step.
These meetings are conducted as part of the relational assessment process and do not establish separate individual psychotherapy relationships.
Discernment Counseling Sessions
90 minutes | $350
Discernment Counseling differs from traditional couples therapy in both its goals and structure.
Sessions incorporate time together as well as individual conversations with each partner.
Together → Individual Conversations → Together
The process is intentionally short term and is generally limited to a maximum of five Discernment Counseling sessions.
You do not have to commit to all five sessions in advance.
At the end of each session, we determine whether another Discernment Counseling session would be useful or whether enough clarity has emerged to choose a path forward.
What Happens Next?
If you choose Path Three, we can transition into couples therapy with a clearer understanding of the patterns that brought the relationship to the brink and the changes each partner is committing to make.
If you choose Path Two, support may instead focus on navigating separation, conscious uncoupling, emotional processing, and co-parenting when appropriate.
If you choose Path One, you leave the process with greater clarity about the decision you are making for now, even if you are not ready to make a permanent decision about the future of the relationship.
Discernment Counseling is generally not appropriate when both partners have already decided to divorce or when both partners are already fully committed to repairing the relationship. In those circumstances, another service may be a better fit.
Therapy Intensives
When You Need More Than a Weekly Hour
$250 per hour
Sometimes you don’t need another six months of weekly appointments.
You need enough uninterrupted space to actually get into the work.
Therapy intensives provide dedicated time to focus on a specific trauma, relational injury, recurring pattern, treatment goal, or area where you feel stuck without having to stop just as the work begins to deepen.
Intensives may incorporate EMDR, Advanced ART, somatic and nervous system informed interventions, attachment-focused work, or other approaches based on your treatment goals and clinical needs.
Beginning Intensive Therapy
New intensive clients begin with a comprehensive assessment before an intensive is scheduled.
Intensive Initial Assessment
90 minutes | $300
The assessment provides time to understand your current concerns and relevant history, identify potential treatment targets, assess readiness for intensive work, and develop an individualized treatment plan.
Completing an assessment does not automatically mean that an intensive will be recommended. We will discuss the treatment format, length, preparation, and next steps that make the most clinical sense for you.
Additional preparation or stabilization sessions may be recommended before an intensive when clinically appropriate.
Intensive Options
2 hours | $500
3 hours | $750
4 hours | $1,000
5 hours | $1,250
6 hours | $1,500
Therapy intensives are intentionally structured around an identified treatment focus and include additional planning. They are different from simply scheduling a longer standard therapy appointment.
Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy
An Experiential Approach to Deeper Therapeutic Work
Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy, or KAP, combines psychotherapy with ketamine treatment for appropriate clients who may benefit from a deeper experiential approach to healing.
KAP is not a single medicine session.
Treatment includes careful assessment, preparation before the ketamine experience, therapeutic support during the medicine session, and integration afterward to help connect insights and experiences to meaningful therapeutic change.
Initial KAP Assessment
90 minutes | $300
New KAP clients begin with a comprehensive assessment to explore treatment history, current concerns, goals, appropriateness for KAP, and the role ketamine-assisted work may play within the larger treatment plan.
Established therapy clients interested in incorporating KAP will complete an appropriate readiness assessment and preparation process based on their existing treatment relationship and clinical needs.
KAP Preparation
60 minutes | $200
90 minutes | $300
Preparation helps establish intentions, discuss what to expect from the medicine experience, identify relevant treatment targets, and prepare for the emotional and experiential aspects of KAP.
The amount of preparation needed varies based on the individual and treatment plan.
KAP Medicine Session
Up to 3 hours | $800
The medicine session provides an extended therapeutic environment for the ketamine experience with psychotherapeutic support throughout the appointment.
KAP Integration
60 minutes | $200
90 minutes | $300
Integration provides space to explore what emerged during the medicine experience, identify themes or insights, and begin translating the experience into meaningful changes outside of the session.
Typical Initial KAP Investment
A typical first KAP experience may include:
90-minute assessment | $300
90-minute preparation | $300
Up to 3-hour medicine session | $800
60-minute integration | $200
Typical initial psychotherapy investment | $1,600
Additional preparation, medicine, or integration appointments are scheduled according to your individual treatment plan and clinical needs.
Ketamine prescribing and medical eligibility are managed separately through a collaborating medical provider. Fees associated with medical evaluation, prescribing, medication, or pharmacy services are separate from psychotherapy fees paid to Trauma Wise Healing.
The Green Bottle Program
When Cost Is a Barrier to Care
Private-pay therapy is an investment, and financial circumstances are not the same for everyone.
Trauma Wise Healing reserves a limited number of Green Bottle appointments for clients for whom the standard private-pay rate would create a meaningful barrier to accessing care.
The Green Bottle Program offers a modest reduction from standard fees while allowing reduced-rate care to remain a sustainable part of the practice.
Availability is limited and may vary by service.
If cost is a significant factor in your ability to begin or continue therapy, you are welcome to ask about current Green Bottle availability.
The quality, depth, and type of therapy you receive does not change because you are utilizing a Green Bottle rate.
Specialized Assessments & Services
Focused Services Outside of Ongoing Therapy
Some services fall outside of ongoing psychotherapy and have separate fees based on the assessment, documentation, coordination, or specialized clinical work involved.
Specialized services may include:
• Breaking the Cycle assessments
• Emotional Support Animal and Psychiatric Service Dog assessments
• Specialized assessment and treatment planning
• Other focused services offered through Trauma Wise Healing
Current pricing and eligibility information is available on the corresponding service page or by contacting the practice.
Private Pay & Insurance
Care Designed Around You, Not an Insurance Company
Trauma Wise Healing is a private-pay practice and does not participate with insurance plans. Payment is due at the time services are provided.
Some clients choose to independently seek reimbursement from their insurance company using out-of-network benefits. If you would like to pursue reimbursement, a superbill can be made available to you upon request for you to submit directly to your insurance company.
Trauma Wise Healing does not verify out-of-network benefits, determine eligibility for reimbursement, submit claims on your behalf, communicate with insurance companies regarding reimbursement, track claims, correct or resubmit claims, or appeal denied claims.
Because insurance plans and benefits vary considerably, you are responsible for contacting your insurance company directly if you would like information about your out-of-network coverage, deductible, reimbursement rates, claim requirements, or reimbursement status.
Payment for services is not contingent upon insurance reimbursement. You are responsible for the full private-pay fee at the time of service regardless of whether your insurance company ultimately reimburses you.
A superbill is documentation of services provided and is not a guarantee of reimbursement. Insurance companies determine whether services are eligible for reimbursement and the amount, if any, that they will reimburse.
A Note About Diagnosis
Insurance reimbursement generally requires a mental health diagnosis to be included on a superbill. When a diagnosis is clinically appropriate and required for documentation, it may become part of the information submitted to your insurance company.
If you have questions about how submitting a superbill could affect your insurance record or benefits, those questions should be directed to your insurance company.
Couples & Family Therapy
Insurance reimbursement for couples, family, relational, Discernment Counseling, intensives, extended sessions, KAP, and other specialized services varies considerably by plan.
Trauma Wise Healing does not determine whether a particular service is covered or reimbursable. If you intend to seek reimbursement, you are responsible for confirming coverage directly with your insurance company before receiving services.
Regardless of insurance coverage or reimbursement, the private-pay fee remains the client's responsibility.
