Holistic Counseling FAQs

How much will it cost?

If you have insurance that I accept, you will only be responsible for your co-pay. The out of pocket rate for individuals without insurance or who have an insurance that I am not contracted with is $125 for a 60 minute session. A super-bill for services rendered can be provided for submission to your health insurance for out-of-network provider reimbursement. I recommend contacting your insurance company to understand what the reimbursement rate will be prior to scheduling a free discovery call so you can ensure that the service is affordable to you.

Do you accept insurance?

I do. I am currently accepting Aetna, Cigna and Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield Colorado and am awaiting contracts with additional Colorado insurances including United Healthcare and Oscar Health.

What do I ask my insurance company about in-network or out-of-network reimbursement for mental health services when I contact them?

I recommend first confirming that your plan includes mental health benefits, which most do, and once confirmed asking: (1) do I have a deductible and, if so, what is it/where am I in the process of meeting it?; (2) does my plan limit the number of sessions I have in a calendar year? If yes, what is the limit?; and (3) do I need approval from my primary care physician in order for mental health services to be covered?

Do you offer telehealth?

I do offer telehealth however I am preferring face-to-face, in-person sessions at this time. If you are seeking telehealth and would like to discuss if this might be available to you, please schedule a free discovery session.

Where can I learn more about the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model of counseling?

I have included an Introduction to Internal Family Systems counseling in Resources. IFS is an evidenced-based practice, meaning clinical research has shown the promising effects of IFS work on the mind (depression, anxiety), body (physical health conditions), and spirit (personal resilience and self-concept).

Therapeutic Breathwork Specific FAQs

Where are you offering individual therapeutic breathwork sessions?

Due to the music and potential for sounding during sessions, I am working to find a permanent space as I am not able to do breathwork at Peak Wellness Collaborative. In the meantime, I am offering sessions in people’s homes and at JalaBlu yoga studio (301 East Main Street #260, Buena Vista, CO).

Do you offer breathwork remotely, via Zoom?

I do not at this time.

How long are breathwork sessions?

Sessions are typically 1 1/2 to 2 hours in length and include: (1) 15-30 minutes check-in/intention setting, (2) 45-60 minutes of Conscious Connected Breath, and (3) 15-30 minutes of debrief/integration.

Is there anything special I need to do before a session?

I recommend coming to a session well-rested and well-hydrated. I do not recommend substance use of any kind the night prior to a session. And I recommend arriving on time and grounded for the session. Arriving late and/or arriving in a state of stress or reactivity takes away from the breath session.

Is there anything special I need to do after a session?

I recommend taking a minimum of an hour of downtime after your session, to allow for further integration of the healing. And, if possible, to have little planned for the remainder of the day/evening as you may be tired or highly energized. Getting out in nature after is a great way to promote integration and ground yourself.

What are Conscious Connected Breathwork Community Workshops?

Community Workshops are typically two hours and have a maximum of 8 participants, all engaging in Conscious Connected Breath. They include: an introduction to breathwork as well as brief introductions among group participants, a facilitated breathwork session and a debrief/question-answer time. This is a powerful practice as participant’s experiences of cathartic emotional release can be magnified in the group setting. I recommend that participants have engaged in an individual session prior to attending a community workshop however this is not required.
