Parent Child Interaction Therapy - Used to help parents address tantrums, aggressive, destructive or other behaviors in young children (ages 2-7). Involves two phases of treatment to improve attachment between parent(s) and child first, then for parents to have more tools in addressing behaviors.
Theraplay - A child and family therapy for building and enhancing attachment, self-esteem, trust in others, and joyful engagement, based on the natural patterns of playful, healthy interaction between parent and child. Sessions are highly experiential, rhythmic, repetitive and relational.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing - An evidence-based treatment to help those affected by traumatic experiences using the brain’s natural ways of processing those memories to move towards healing via bilateral stimulation (sensory input alternating on each side of the body, either by eye movements, sounds, sensations or a combination).

Treatment involves working with adolescent individually, parent(s) individually, and then all together to address attachment related concerns, improve communication and repair, and move towards interdependence within the family system.

insurance
I am an in-network provider for Cigna and United Healthcare insurances.
I encourage you to contact your insurance company’s benefits department (often located on the back of your card) to verify behavioral health benefits covered prior to our first appointment. Due to COVID-19, insurance coverage policies are continually changing, particularly with telehealth services, and coverage may not always be guaranteed. They may want to know that I am an LPC in the state of MO and the most frequent CPT billing codes I utilize are 90791, 90834, 90837, 90846, and 90847.
If you have a different insurance than these, Out of Network Benefits may still apply. I can provide you a “superbill” to submit to your insurance company, as some may partially reimburse session rates.
