Frequently Asked

Common questions.

How does therapy work at ShadeTree Counseling, LLC?

Specific techniques will be utilized to tailor the client’s specific need and interest as I know that what works for one person may not necessarily work for all. I provide caring and compassionate services and earnestly put forward my best effort to help our clients.

Which methods do you use?

I use Mindfulness and Self-Hypnosis to work with negative subconscious processes, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Internal Family Systems (IFS) to help with traumatic memories. I also employ somatic techniques to help integrate the body and teach self-regulation as I treat mental health conditions.

What happens in the first session?

In our first session we will learn if we are a best fit for you and what brought you to therapy. We will conduct a biopsychosocial assessment that will provide clinical information to identify your specific mental health concerns and condition. We will also identify your goals for treatment and start building a therapeutic alliance that leads to a healthy and peaceful life.

Do you see clients in person?

I provide mental health therapy sessions exclusively via a secure online platform which is easy to use and private. I see clients by secure video who are physically located in Florida, Kansas or Missouri at the time of the session.
