Adolescent (12-17) Individual Therapy $200 | 50 Minutes

Has your teen started to feel a dip in self-confidence, overall mood, and self-esteem? Teens (just like adults) can benefit from therapy. Teens go through a lot of challenges, life stressors, and often go through a lot of adjustments as they navigate through their teen years into young adulthood. Teen years are characterized by exploration, goal setting, risk-taking, social interaction, and the continued development of critical reasoning skills. Therapy helps teens navigate through anxiety, sexuality, depression, peer pressure, social anxiety, gender identify, academic pressure, home-life struggles, self-esteem, relationships, and life changes such as adjustments associated with military service, moving, change in school, and/or the divorce/separation of parents. Your teen’s experience in therapy at Hello Healed® is influenced by years of education, training, & post grad experience with teens. Successful outcomes related to helping teens navigate through mental health challenges affirms the ability to help teens heal. 

Individual Trauma Therapy $200 | 50 Minutes

I’m a licensed psychotherapist certified in clinical trauma. I provide individual trauma therapy. I assess trauma subjectively as the response to events differ in the way they’re processed individually. Trauma is one of the most complex experiences to live through. It’s also one of the most challenging experiences for a therapist to treat. I’m an expert in trauma. I have years of training and experience in trauma associated with domestic violence, abuse, gun violence, traumatic death, combat, emotional and psychological abuse, and relationships affected by past trauma. I also know trauma personally. I have sat on the couch and I have personally done the work to heal my own past trauma. Believe me, therapy heals. It allows you to move though it and past it. After experiencing a traumatic event it’s common to feel sadness, fear, shame, and anger. You don’t have to carry those emotions long-term. You can and should resolve those feelings. Trauma can interrupt emotional processing, so those that have experienced trauma often struggle to articulate how they are feeling and even what they are thinking at times. Past trauma can shape and influence current thoughts and behaviors. often, a person is unaware of the connection between present thoughts/behaviors and past experiences. This is either because they have forgotten the experience in it’s entirety or minimized the impact of that experience. In therapy we work to uncover, examine, and heal the trauma you have experienced. Living through trauma is something that can affect you for the rest of your life. I take that personal. Just as trauma alters the brain so does healing.

Relationship Intake $200 | 50 Minutes

You will provide insight into your reasons for seeking therapy and your desired therapeutic goals. We will talk about how your relationship functions, your strengths as a couple, your communication styles, your concerns, and family dynamics.

We will also review any questions or concerns you may have regarding relationship therapy. This is not an interview. It’s not stiff and there is no performance necessary. You have the freedom to just be you. At the conclusion of this session, we will discuss recommendations on the frequency and appropriateness of services to get you to your desired goals. 

Relationship Therapy $200 | 50 Minutes

Relationship therapy is focused on resolving relationship stress and interpersonal conflict. Relationship therapy is also called couples therapy, partners counseling, and marriage counseling. We use these terms interchangeably to acknowledge the diverse ways in which we relate and identify within relationships. In my work with those that identify as LGBTQ+, we also explore and acknowledge how outside influences from society impact the relationship and/or inform roles and expectations. I utilize emotionally focused therapy (eft) & techniques in relationship therapy. This model of treatment helps to improve relationships by rekindling the physical and emotional bond that can get sacrificed to disappointment in a partner and alienation from them— a common dynamic in distressed couples. This approach also helps to improve verbal communication, intimacy, respect, and affection. In addition, it helps to remove barriers to conflict resolution. It also promotes empathy and compassion within a relationship. In relationship therapy, I also utilize psychodynamic and attachment therapy techniques to examine how past experiences inform and impact the present relationship. Relationship therapy is a safe space to heal and strengthen a relationship.

Notice: relationship therapy is not recommended nor appropriate when domestic violence is present. if you are dealing with domestic violence, call the national domestic violence hotline 24/7. Help is available. 

Relationship Therapy (Trauma-Informed) $200 | 50 Minutes

Relationship therapy through a trauma informed lens.  It’s relationship therapy with a focus on committed relationships that are affected by interpersonal symptoms associated with past trauma and ptsd. Whether caused by early abandonment, childhood abuse, military combat, or other traumatic experiences, the impact of trauma on committed relationships can be complex and challenging at times. Past trauma can bleed onto present relationships making it difficult to feel secure within a relationship. Trauma can interrupt emotional processing, so those that have experienced trauma often struggle to articulate how they are feeling and even what they are thinking at times. This can cause conflict and miscommunication, and it can make it difficult for well-intended partners to know what kind of support to provide. As a trauma therapist, I help partners understand triggering events in their current relationships and how to navigate those moments. A trauma-informed couple eases the stressors and communication challenges associated with present time emotional disturbances influenced by past experiences. With a specialty in attachment & trauma, your treatment is led by evidence based research and techniques, certifications, & experience. 

Notice: Relationship trauma therapy is not recommended nor appropriate when domestic violence is present. If you are dealing with domestic violence, please call the national domestic violence hotline 24/7. Help is available.
