Counseling & EMDR For Women in Florida | Frequently Asked Questions

Starting therapy can bring up a lot of questions, especially if you’re considering EMDR or exploring counseling for the first time. Here you’ll find answers to some of the most common questions women in Florida ask about counseling, trauma therapy, and EMDR. My hope is that this helps you feel more confident as you take the next step toward healing.

  • I have a virtual private therapy practice based in Central Florida, serving women throughout the entire state. No matter where you live in Florida—Orlando, Miami, Tampa, Jacksonville, or anywhere in between, you can access EMDR therapy, trauma counseling, or Christian therapy from the comfort of your home through secure telehealth sessions.

    • Individual Therapy Session: $175 for a 50-minute session

    • Weekday EMDR Intensives: $400–$2,000 (depending on duration/number of days)

    • Weekend EMDR Intensives: $500–$2,500 (depending on duration/number of days)

    I will discuss fees with you during the consultation call so you can choose the best option for your needs and goals.

  • I am currently out-of-network with all insurance companies.

    Here’s what that means:

    • Self-pay is required for sessions.

    • I can provide a superbill for you to submit to your insurance company for potential partial reimbursement.

    • Self-pay offers greater flexibility, privacy, and freedom from insurance restrictions, allowing us to focus fully on your healing rather than what insurance approves.

  • A consultation call lasts about 15 minutes. It’s a chance to:

    • Share your current challenges and what you’re looking for in therapy.

    • Ask questions about EMDR, trauma therapy, Christian counseling, or intensives.

    • Learn about my approach and how therapy might help you.

    If you’re interested in intensives, let me know during this call so we can discuss if that’s the right path for you.

  • During intake, I’ll focus on understanding:

    • Your current struggles

    • Your goals for therapy

    • Your personal history

    This session is led by me, with guided questions, but also leaves room for you to share freely. Together we’ll identify the main goals for therapy and outline a plan that feels supportive and clear.

  • Trauma therapy for women focuses on the unique ways women experience and carry trauma. It goes beyond coping skills to address the root causes of anxiety, self-doubt, and emotional overwhelm. My approach integrates EMDR therapy, somatic tools, and faith-based support (if desired) to help women truly heal and not just “get by.”

  • No, while EMDR therapy is one of my primary approaches, I also integrate other evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), trauma-focused counseling, parts work, mindfulness, and Christian counseling (for women who want to incorporate faith into their sessions). EMDR is powerful, but every woman’s healing journey is unique, so I combine approaches to meet your specific needs and goals.

  • Yes, EMDR therapy is one of the most effective treatments for childhood trauma. Many women find that painful memories from childhood continue to impact relationships, self-esteem, and daily life. EMDR helps the brain reprocess these experiences so they no longer feel as overwhelming or defining.

  • Absolutely. For clients who want to integrate their Christian faith, I provide EMDR therapy with a spiritual foundation. This allows us to invite God into the healing process while addressing trauma, anxiety, or past hurts. If you prefer a non-faith-based approach, that is always honored as well.

  • Religious trauma therapy helps women who feel wounded or burdened by past spiritual experiences. This might include guilt, fear, shame, or controlling dynamics in faith communities. In our work together, you’ll find space to process your story and rebuild a healthy connection to faith, spirituality, and yourself.

  • As a trauma specialist for women, I focus specifically on helping women heal from trauma, anxiety, perfectionism, and relational struggles. My training in EMDR, trauma-informed care, and women’s mental health allows me to tailor therapy to your unique needs. It’s not a one-size-fits-all approach, it’s specialized care for women ready for deeper healing.
