Drug and Alcohol Evaluations
Drug and alcohol assessments are often required for court or to get into Drug and Alcohol treatment services (inpatient drug and alcohol programs, intensive outpatient drug and alcohol programs, etc). These assessments are also a chance to have an in-depth look and conversation about substance use in a safe, judgment free and evidenced based environment and can be done out of personal interest or curiosity. These assessments are $200 out-of-pocket. The assessment takes approximately 1-2 hours and involves an open conversation as well as evidence based assessment tools. I am a licensed clinical social worker as well as a licensed clinical addictions counselor in Kansas and credentialed through KDADS, so the assessments can be utilized in court or other required settings (treatment, etc).
Who do I work with?
Over the years, I have worked with people who have been diagnosed with a variety of mental health diagnoses, including, but not limited to, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, adjustment disorders, obsessive compulsive disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder. It is a common misconception that therapy is only for people with a mental health diagnosis, but this is untrue, I have also helped many clients who need no mental health diagnoses, but are navigating significant life transitions. Due to my history as a substance use counselor and my clinical addictions license I have specialized training in working with individuals who may struggle with addiction or are just simply interested in better understanding their relationship with substances. I also have specific experience in working with couples and teens (15 and up). While I do have specialized or niche areas of work, I see people of different ages, genders, with a variety of different struggles.
Whether you are struggling with anxiety and depression, navigating relationship issues, or simply feeling lost amid a major life change, I am here to help. I provide a safe and supportive environment where we can work together to address your unique needs and goals. I believe that every person has the capacity for growth and change, and I am committed to helping you unlock your full potential.
Pricing
I do not accept insurance. I believe in the absolute value of privacy in the relationship between a therapist and their client as well as a client's autonomy to decide the frequency and length of their therapy.
I offer a sliding fee scale. My standard rates:
50 minute intake session: $150
30 minute session: $85
50 minute session: $140

Let's Connect
My belief in therapy is really grounded around one simple thing, the relationship we build in the therapy room. Therapy is a very vulnerable place and it can be scary to embark on this journey of vulnerability with a stranger, but the courage it takes to get into the room is worth it. I promise that your openness and trust is safe with me.
