Questions about therapy?

  • I offer online mental health therapy services over the internet using a secure video or phone platform to residents throughout Tennessee and Florida. I am physically located in Livingston, TN or Cookeville, TN. I do offer in-person counseling sessions at these locations.

  • Much like in-person counseling services except we will be in two different places and still accomplish the same great work. You will have the choice to receive counseling over real-time face to face secure video sessions. Prior to the scheduled appointment you will receive a link either by secure text message or secure email that takes you to a virtual therapy room where we will meet.

    The online counseling services offered by Trish do not include crisis services. Should safety become a concern, referral to the most appropriate level of care will be completed.

  • Yes! I offer in-person sessions at my Livingston and Cookeville locations. In-person counseling sessions offered by Trish do not include crisis services. Should safety become a concern, referral to the most appropriate level of care will be completed.

  • Session FEES for the most common services:

    • 50 minute Intake Session - $125.00

    • 50 minute Individual Session - $80.00

    • 60 minute Psychoeducational Session - $60.00

    The number of sessions cannot be determined with certainty at the beginning of the the counseling relationship, however, the standard time of care is 12 weekly sessions (3 months).

    I do not take insurance at this time. However, I do have a limited number of reduced fee slots if you qualify. Please contact me to see if you might be eligible.

  • A Good Faith Estimate (GFE) based on a typical therapeutic episode of care includes the initial intake and 12 weekly sessions for a total investment in your wellbeing of $1,085.

    I am not paneled with any insurance companies at this time. Superbills are offered for out-of-network billing. Clients are responsible for knowing their benefits prior to admission to a therapeutic course of treatment. Sliding scale slots are limited. Availability and scaled fees will be discussed during the free consultation session.

  • Our first appointment is the intake appointment.

    I typically complete your full assessment over two 50 minute sessions. I use a casual, rapport building process where I get to know you through your story. I will ask you what you believe is important for me to know about you. I will be sure to collect the necessary information I need in order to design a plan that will provide you with the structure for the daily work (the work in between sessions is where your success lives) that will lead you in the direction of our desired outcomes for counseling.
