FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you offer in-person sessions?
Not at this time. I currently offer telehealth sessions only. That means we’ll meet through a secure video platform, so you can join from anywhere you feel most comfortable.
When are you available for sessions?
I conduct sessions exclusively on weekends. I understand that weekday schedules can be overwhelming; weekends provide a more relaxed atmosphere allowing for breathing room and the opportunity for deeper reflection.
Where are you located?
Denver, CO. I serve all areas of Colorado through telehealth therapy.
What does a session cost?
My standard rate is $115 per 50-minute session. I offer sliding scale spots based on financial need. Let me know if that’s something you’d like to talk more about. I believe therapy should be accessible for all.
Do you accept insurance?
I am a self-pay provider, which means I do not accept insurance directly. However, I can provide a superbill for potential reimbursement, depending on your insurance provider and plan.
What is art therapy and how is it different from regular talk therapy?
Art therapy encourages your hands to participate in the healing process. It’s not about artistic talent; rather, it’s about harnessing creative expression to tap into emotions, memories, and insights that words may fail to convey. While we do engage in conversation and reflection, often images can communicate what language cannot. Unlike traditional talk therapy, which remains primarily verbal, art therapy embraces the entire body and nervous system.
What kind of materials will I need for art therapy?
You don’t need anything fancy. I often suggest having on hand:
-
Paper (any kind)
-
Colored pencils, markers, or crayons
-
Scissors and glue (if possible)
-
A few collage images or magazines
-
Optional: watercolor paints, oil pastels, or clay if you’re feeling curious
I’m not artistic… will this still work for me?
Certainly! You don't need any artistic background to gain from art therapy. It's all about expressing yourself, not achieving perfection. Your doodles, smudges, and imperfections are embraced here; they contribute to the narrative.
