FAQ – Down to the Root Denver Therapy
-
Do you offer in-person or online sessions?
Yes! I offer both in-person therapy in Denver and secure online therapy for adults across Colorado. Whether you prefer the comfort of your own space or the connection of meeting in person, we’ll find the format that works best for you.
-
Do you take insurance, or how does payment work?
I provide a FREE 20-minute consultation and my fee for a 50-minute session is $210. I do not accept insurance directly. Payment is made at the time of service using credit card or HSA/FSA cards.
Many clients use their out-of-network benefits to receive reimbursement for therapy. If your insurance plan includes these benefits, you may be able to get full or partial reimbursement for our work together. I provide a “superbill” (an itemized receipt) you can submit to your insurance company for this purpose. I do not accept victim’s compensation.
-
I’ve tried therapy before — how is this different?
That’s a great question, and one I hear often. Many traditional therapies focus on talking about your struggles. My approach goes deeper by using experiential methods like EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and IFS-informed therapy (Internal Family Systems).
These approaches help you heal at the root, not just cope at the surface. Instead of feeling “stuck” telling the same story over and over, EMDR and IFS allow you to process past experiences, connect with your inner strengths, and create lasting change in how you show up in relationships.
-
What is EMDR therapy, and how can it help me?
EMDR is an evidence-based therapy that helps people heal from past experiences that may still affect their current relationships, self-esteem, or ability to set boundaries. Through guided bilateral stimulation (like eye movements), EMDR helps the brain reprocess stuck memories and reduce emotional distress. Many clients find it especially helpful for trauma, relationship anxiety, and people-pleasing patterns.
-
What does it mean that your therapy is IFS-informed?
IFS (Internal Family Systems) is a therapy approach that helps you understand and work with the different “parts” of yourself. For example, one part of you may want to set a boundary, while another part feels guilty or afraid. IFS helps you explore these parts with compassion, so you can find balance and self-leadership. It’s a powerful tool for building confidence, healing old wounds, and creating healthier relationships.
-
What types of therapy do you provide?
I provide individual therapy for adults using experiential, evidence-based approaches. My work is grounded in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and IFS-informed therapy (Internal Family Systems). I specialize in helping adults navigate relationships, set boundaries, heal from trauma, and build confidence in their daily lives.
-
How long are sessions, and how often will we meet? Item
Sessions are 50 minutes long. Most clients begin by meeting once a week or every other week, depending on their needs and goals. As therapy progresses and you begin to feel more confident, there’s an option to move to monthly sessions for ongoing support.
-
Do you provide LGBTQ and trans-affirming therapy in Denver?
Yes. My practice is queer- and trans-affirming, and LGBTQ work has been at the heart of my clinical career for more than a decade. I offer a safe, affirming space for adults of all genders and identities. Whether we meet in person in Denver or through online therapy across Colorado, I bring both professional expertise and lived experience to this work.
-
What if I need to cancel or reschedule an appointment?
Life happens! I offer a flexible last-minute rescheduling policy, allowing you to reschedule to open spots in my calendar as availability allows. If you need to cancel, please give at least 24 hours’ notice so we can open your spot for someone else. Late cancellations or missed appointments will be charged the full session fee.
