While every person's reasons for seeking therapy are unique, you may find my approach helpful if..

• You're looking to understand and find a way to live with the effects of trauma or highly stressful experiences.

• You want less conflict and more connection in your family or personal relationships.

• You want to learn concrete coping skills in therapy and personalize them to your life through a collaborative, not prescriptive, approach.

• You often feel overwhelmed, misunderstood, or have difficulty expressing your needs.

• You've tried therapy before but still feel stuck or are looking for a different approach.

• You're exploring your gender identity, sexuality, or other aspects of your identity in an affirming space.

• You're seeking neurodiversity-affirming care for yourself or support in navigating relationships with a neurodivergent loved one.

I offer a free initial consultation so we can get to know each other, talk about what brings you to therapy, and see whether working together feels like a good fit for you. If you’ve never been to therapy before, that’s completely okay—this is a space to ask questions, share at your own pace, and get a sense of what the process is like.

During our first session, we’ll explore what you’re hoping to get out of therapy—even if you’re not fully sure yet—as well as any previous experiences you’ve had with therapy, support systems, or the people in your life, including what has and hasn’t felt helpful for you. We’ll also talk about the strengths, coping strategies, and ways you’ve managed things so far in your life.

If this is your first time in therapy, we’ll also go over what you can expect and make space for any questions, hesitations, or concerns you may have.

I’ll ask questions to better understand your story, and I’ll share how I might work alongside you in relation to what you’re hoping for and what feels important to you. Together, we’ll begin shaping a direction for our work that feels collaborative, supportive, and tailored to you.

You don't need to be in crisis to benefit from therapy. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, navigating a difficult life transition, healing from trauma, experiencing anxiety or depression, exploring your identity, or simply wanting to understand yourself more deeply, therapy can provide a supportive space to build insight, strengthen coping skills, and create meaningful change.

I also actively invite your feedback throughout our work together, and we will check in regularly about how things are feeling for you. This includes making space for you to reflect on what “benefiting” from therapy looks and feels like in your own experience, so we can ensure the process is genuinely helpful and aligned with your needs.

How often we meet depends on how your mind works, what feels supportive for you, and what your schedule looks like, and this can change over time. Most people meet once a week for about one hour to build consistency and momentum, while some prefer biweekly sessions or taper to monthly as things stabilize. Depending on what is happening in your life, we may meet more frequently during periods of stress, or take breaks and return to therapy when it feels helpful again. We will revisit the rhythm of our work together as your needs evolve.

Building trust is an important part of therapy, and I believe children and adolescents benefit from having a space where they can speak openly and honestly. I respect the confidentiality of my clients under 18 and generally do not share the details of our conversations with caregivers unless there are concerns related to safety or situations where I am legally or ethically required to do so. Whenever possible, I will discuss any needed changes to confidentiality with the young person first before involving a caregiver.

At the same time, I recognize that parents and caregivers play an essential role in a child's well-being and treatment. Rather than sharing the content of therapy sessions, I often recommend parent coaching and family therapy to strengthen communication, build understanding, and work collaboratively toward the goals that are most important for your child and family.

At this time Therapy with Audrey is telehealth appointments with limited in-person availability.

• Request out-of-network reimbursement: After paying for the appointment you can request reimbursement from your insurance provider. Insurance will reimburse you for the maximum allowable amount for that service. Please note that you might have an annual deductible that must be spent on out-of-pocket healthcare before insurance will reimburse for the cost of your appointment.

• Network Gap Exception: Insurance companies may grant a network gap exception if they do not provide you with the type of care you are requesting (for example, child trauma therapy) within a specific time frame. You can request a network gap exception from your insurance company. 

• Superbills can be provided for client services to support out-of-network reimbursement.

Yes. Under the No Surprises Act, healthcare providers are required to provide individuals who are uninsured or choosing not to use insurance with a Good Faith Estimate of the expected cost of services. Before we begin working together, you will receive a written estimate outlining the anticipated costs of your care. Please keep in mind that this is an estimate rather than a contract, and the actual number of sessions needed will depend on your unique goals, progress, and evolving needs. I'm happy to answer any questions you may have about fees or Good Faith Estimates at any point during our work together.
