You can expect most therapy sessions to be 45-50 minutes. Occasionally, when therapeutically helpful, we may recommend 80 minute therapy sessions. These longer therapy sessions can sometimes be beneficial for couples counseling work and for Brainspotting.

Establishing a safe environment and an authentic connection are our first priorities during an initial therapy session. We will start learning about you - what brought you to therapy? What would it look like for you to feel better? We will leave time to answer any questions you have about therapy and how we work with our clients. Because therapy is only a small part of your week and we know a lot of life happens between sessions, you can expect homework in order to be intentional with your time between sessions. We will each also work with you to set a day and time for your therapy going forward. See this blog post for more information on What To Expect From Your First Counseling Session #Dallas.

We think it’s important to know you don’t have to feel in “crisis” to start therapy. We know life can be tough, and we believe most of us could benefit from therapy at various points in our life. Whether you’re struggling with new, scary symptoms such as panic attacks or simply looking for a safe, non-judgemental place to process daily life, we would love to talk through whether starting therapy is right for you.

We find it most beneficial when first starting therapy to schedule consistent, weekly appointments in order to get a momentum shift in whatever brought you to our office. However, we are also respectful of financial and time constraints and want to work to establish a frequency that is genuinely most therapeutically supportive for you as an individual.

This answer looks different for each individual. You can expect us to check-in with you along your journey in therapy to make changes where necessary to the frequency of sessions and to prepare for termination from therapy when ready. We want to see a decrease in whatever symptoms led to you starting counseling, looking for changes such as less anxiety, feeling more emotionally regulated, and having healthier relationships.

Because we believe in the importance of flexibility and confidentiality, we have chosen to practice independent of insurance contracts. This means we are not considered In-Network providers. We feel strongly that this allows us to provide the best, most attentive care to each of our clients. However; we do offer a Superbill, which you can submit to your insurance company for reimbursement using your Out-of-Network benefits.

We have partnered with Reimbursify for you to easily submit your claims for out-of-network health insurance reimbursement at no cost for this practice.  Download the app to get started today.

Our in-office sessions happen at 10300 N Central Expy Suite 325 Dallas, TX 75231 within a comfortable and secure suite provided by Therapy Space. Upon arrival to our safe and private lobby, you can use the check-in system to let us know you’re here! Additionally, we both offer Telehealth therapy sessions throughout Texas. When scheduling Telehealth sessions, we ask that you keep in mind the importance of having a private, quiet space with adequate WiFi coverage to support the therapeutic process.

We both work with adults, ages 18+. Amanda sees individual clients, allowing for sessions with partners and/or family members when therapeutically relevant. Allison works with both individuals and couples.
