Frequently Asked Questions

  • Why should I talk to a therapist?

    People come to therapy for many reasons- self-esteem issues, relationship troubles, barriers to functioning, new life transitions, and more. People even come to therapy to have a space to discuss the impact of social and political climates and culture without judgment.

    Sometimes therapy is a good check-in to maintain previous progress on an issue, or perhaps you are looking to support someone in your life who may be struggling. Therapy can offer a space to vent, process, explore new life goals, and even celebrate strengths and gains.

    Maybe things don't feel "big enough" for therapy, yet somehow you found yourself on this page. Since you're here, it's only one extra step to contact me and discuss whether therapy is a good option for you now. Things don't have to be in crisis for us to need support.

    Let’s get started.

  • Who do you treat?

    My clients are between the ages of 13-60 of all genders, races, and orientations. I work most frequently with neurodivergent individuals, queer, non-binary, and Trans folx, all from various life stages. I also frequently work with parents whose children/teens are seeking therapy from another provider.

    My specialties include ADHD and Neurodivergence, eating disorders, and LGBTQIA+ issues.

  • Are you in-person or online?

    I currently provide virtual telehealth sessions in the state of California and Colorado, or Walk & Talk in-person therapy near Littleton, Colorado.

    For Walk & Talk therapy, clients seeking eating disorder treatment must have a medical waiver for movement from their medical provider for safety and liability purposes.

    Walk & Talk therapy takes place in public spaces, and additional waivers will be required as I cannot guarantee your confidentiality if we engage in treatment in public spaces.

  • Do you take insurance?

    I do not take any insurance.

    At this time, I am self-pay only and do not provide super-bills for insurance reimbursement.

  • What is Confidentiality?

    Confidentiality refers to personal information (aka Protected Health information or PHI) shared with an attorney, physician, therapist, or other individuals that generally cannot be divulged to third parties (anyone who is not the client) without the client's express consent.

    Client, in this practice, is defined as the identified patient or person who shows up to my sessions seeking my therapeutic support. While confidentiality has some legal limitations, even minors have certain privileges, and these privileges and limitations will be discussed in our initial sessions.

    Each state determines the age at which a client can consent to treatment without their parent/legal guardians' consent or formal approval. I follow the consent laws of the two states I am licensed in (Colorado and California) based on my client's location.

    What does a mandated reporter have to report?

    Colorado Minor Confidentiality

    California Minor Confidentiality

    All of these issues will be discussed within the paperwork and in initial sessions during intake with Guided Revolution Counseling.

    You have legal rights to know and understand the limits to confidentiality, and these rights should be outlined in paperwork and/or discussed in initial sessions with our mental health providers, depending on state/federal laws.

  • What are Mandated Reports?

    A mandated report is a report of known or suspected cases of abuse, neglect, or risk of harm. Mandated reports are made by individuals such as teachers, therapists, medical providers, law enforcement, or any individual who is found on this list in the state of Colorado and California

    I am a mandated reporter by nature of my therapeutic license and MUST report to the state of your residence any of the following:

    -Abuse or neglect of a child (defined as a minor under the age of 18 years)

    -Abuse or neglect of an elder (defined as an individual over the age of 65)

    -Abuse or neglect of a dependent or disabled adult

    -Intent to harm self or others, including warning the intended victim of a threat to livelihood

    This list may not be complete, and circumstances not yet listed may require a mandated report- always discuss further with your care providers.

    Abuse is defined by the state of Colorado as emotional, physical, or sexual abuse or neglect of an individual- disabled, minor, or elder; this list includes financial exploitation of disabled or dependent adults or elders;

    Neglect is defined by the state of Colorado as failure to provide for a child/youth/elder/dependent adult's basic needs, such as nutrition, clothing, shelter, hygiene, and medical care.

    Please note: Domestic violence between adult partners (18+ years of age) who are not identified as "dependent" or "elder" is not a legally-mandated report by therapists, with state-dependent exceptions.

    All of these issues will be discussed within the paperwork and in initial sessions during intake with Guided Revolution Counseling.

    You have legal rights to know and understand the limits to mandated reporting, and these rights should be outlined in paperwork and/or discussed in initial sessions with our mental health providers depending on state/federal laws;

  • What is included in the cost of therapy?

    My session rates can be found here.

    Understanding 50-minute sessions:

    I frequently use the last 10 minutes of the scheduled hour to complete billing paperwork and documentation for your chart. I also use this time to consult with other providers on your team, seek resources and support regarding your case, and prepare for our upcoming sessions, especially if we are doing certain types of work that require planning, such as: Art therapy, Cognitive Behavioral therapy (CBT), Acceptance & Commitment therapy (ACT), trauma treatment and somatic therapy. Depending on the extent of these extra needs, additional charges may be discussed and applied, always with your knowledge.

    Understanding Parent Support Sessions:

    Parenting education and support is a unique area in which I work with parents whose child is seeking treatment (either with me or another provider) for eating disorders, trauma treatment, or neurodiversity issues. These sessions differ from family therapy in that I am ONLY working with the parents, and there is no child involvement in these sessions.

    I offer insight and adaptation to parenting roles in order for parents to provide more effective, affirming, child-centered support, communication, and collaboration with their children. In these sessions, we focus on the present parenting concerns and make specific changes to how the household dynamics function for a safer, more collaborative living environment.

    This includes trying new positive/gentle parenting techniques, understanding/setting boundaries, age-appropriate expectations/outcomes, etc., so parents can work as a team to create a more consistent and sustainable parenting model for their household.

    Understanding Family Therapy Sessions:

    Family therapy is as it sounds- sessions that include or plan to include several/all members in a family or household. This can be parent-child sessions, sibling sessions, parent-parent/couples sessions, etc. Family therapy/couples therapy includes more than one person in the room, and the goal is collaboration, repairing relationship disruption, communication, and exploring family trauma/healing.

    All sessions are scheduled and charged as 50-minute sessions unless otherwise discussed with your provider.
