Accelerated Resolution Therapy
ART is a powerful, evidence-based therapy that helps you release the emotional intensity of painful memories, trauma, and anxiety. Using guided eye movements and imagery, it allows many clients to find relief in just a few sessions—often without having to retell every detail of their experiences. ART helps you move forward with greater calm, clarity, and confidence.
Trauma and Anxiety Counseling
I provide compassionate, client-centered counseling for teens and adults struggling with trauma, anxiety, or overwhelming life experiences. Together, we focus on understanding your challenges, strengthening resilience, and developing practical tools for lasting change.
Individual Counseling for Teens and Adults
Support for personal growth, emotional regulation, and mental health, tailored to your unique needs.
Experiential / Equine-Assisted Therapy (Optional)
For clients who desire an experiential component, equine-assisted therapy can enhance self-awareness, confidence, and emotional regulation. This is an optional complement to ART and counseling.

At Simple Gifts we believe counseling is an investment in your mental and emotional well-being, and we invest a lot of time, energy, and preparation to provide clients with a meaningful experience.

These receipts or “superbills” can be submitted to your insurance for reimbursement for out-of-network therapy.
The following policies are to be observed:
-
Payment due at time of service $140 per session - regardless of whether or not the client intends to submit a claim to their insurance for reimbursement.

Following two consecutive cancellations, inconsistent attendance and/or non-payment of fees, your status as a client will be evaluated.

Any fees incurred due to bad checks will be the responsibility of the client. The fee is $25 per check, subject to change depending on bank fee.
Disclaimer for Good Faith Estimate for Cash Pay and Out of Network Patients Under Section 2799B-6 of the Public Health Service Act, health care providers and health care facilities are required to inform individuals who are not enrolled in a plan or coverage or a Federal health care program, or not seeking to a claim with their plan or coverage both orally and in writing of their ability, upon request or at the time of scheduling health care items and services, to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” (GFE) of expected charges. The GFE shows the costs of items and services that are reasonably expected for services provided by TTC. The estimate is based on information known at the time the estimate was created. It does not take into account any reimbursement that you may receive as a result of out of network benefits. The Good Faith Estimate does not include any unknown or unexpected costs that may arise during treatment. You could be charged more if complications or special circumstances occur. If you are billed for more than this Good Faith Estimate, you have the right to dispute the bill.
