Frequently Asked Questions

How Does Therapy Work?

A therapy session lasts 45 minutes, where you work on goals set during previous sessions. During this time, I may teach specific skills or discuss problems that have occurred recently. While working with children, I will talk to the parent alone at the beginning or end of the session and speak to the child individually. Therapy sessions are highly flexible and can be what you determine is needed.

How Does Therapy Last?

That depends on you, as therapy is individualized. It depends on the problems you are experiencing and how long you wish to see the therapist. However, therapy often lasts months to treat Internet Addiction and Autism as these are severe conditions. It is common for me to see Clients for six months or longer. However, depending on your need, I provide sessions weekly, twice a month, or monthly.

How Much Does Therapy Cost?

Therapy is an investment and does not come cheap. Due to my over 16 years of experience, I charge $200.00 a session. I have treated hundreds of people with High Functioning Autism and Internet Addiction and understand the thought process behind it. I provide a Sliding Scale upon request based on household income. While the cost is high, therapy can be life-changing for your family. 

Do You Provide In-Person Sessions?

No, I provide teletherapy sessions only for residents of Texas.

Is Teletherapy Secure?

Yes. The program I use for Teletherapy encrypts the connection between me and the Client, ensuring no one can spy on the session. It is HIPAA Compliant and requires no software download for the Client. It also works on Tablets, Smartphones, and Computers. Unlike most therapists who use Skype, I take your privacy and confidentiality seriously.

What Is Your Therapeutic Style? You Don't Just Sit and Take Notes All Session, Do You?

No! Many therapists have the bad habit of taking notes all session and asking questions, such as, “How does that make you feel?”. In my sessions, I focus on creating a calm environment where we work to solve problems. I am goal-oriented and work to teach skills. I am hands-on, direct, but compassionate
