Start Your Journey with a Free Therapy Consultation!

Unsure about starting therapy? Totally normal!

I know how important it is to find a therapist that really gets you. With this in mind, I offer a free 20-minute phone consultation so you can see if I’m the right Tennessee therapist for you!

During our chat, we’ll talk about what’s bringing you to therapy, your hopes & goals for working together, and any questions or concerns you might have. By the end of the call, if it feels like I’m your therapist match, we’ll schedule your first official session!

And, if we’re not a fit, I’ll make every effort to provide you with a better-fit therapy referral/resource.

    Emboldened Therapy is considered an Out of Network (OON) Provider. I will provide you with monthly Superbills to secure OON Insurance Reimbursement, if your plan has these benefits.

    I also recommend using Thrizer, a 3rd-party reimbursement platform, to make getting insurance repayment a bit smoother. Head to the Fees & Insurance page for more info on insurance reimbursement options!

  • The first session is a way for me to learn about you and the reasons you came to therapy. Before this session, you'll fill out some forms in a secure client portal to help us both prepare. I’ll then go over your responses beforehand so we can dive right into what matters most – you!

    Some questions I might ask you in that session could be:

    • What goals would you like to reach by going to therapy?

    • What do I need to know about you to understand your current challenges?

    • What's worked for you - in therapy, or in life - before? What hasn't worked?

    You can ask me questions, too! This is your space, and you can use it any way you need to.

    The most important part of a first session is that you see if you feel I’m a good fit for you. If you feel supported, seen, and at-ease with me, we can discuss if you’d like to meet again.

  • Therapy is an investment in yourself, not a quick fix. Meeting less than every other week can delay relief, and for therapies like EMDR and Exposure Response Prevention, weekly sessions are proven necessary for support and safety. With this in mind, I recommend regular weekly or bi-weekly appointments to ensure your therapeutic well-being. Most clients start with weekly sessions, but this is flexible - we’ll discuss what might be best for you in your consultation call!

  • Feeling like things you say or do in therapy could "get out" is a super common concern. I want you to know that unless you are in danger of seriously hurting yourself or someone else, or someone is seriously hurting you, your story is confidential and your session information is protected.

    I highly respect your privacy and value your trust. If you have specific questions about how confidentiality works, you can ask during your during a free consultation or anytime during our work together.
