Specialized Teletherapy Services for Adult Trauma Survivors
Services & Pricing
Individual Intake Session: 90 Minutes-$350
Your story deserves a more intentional beginning:time, care, and thoughtful attention
I exclusively provide a 90-minute intake experience rather than the traditional 50-minute model as trauma work requires trust, nuance, and adequate space to explore the complexities of traumatic events and the impacts you experience.
This extended format allows us to move beyond surface details and begin understanding the patterns, protective strategies, and nervous system responses that have shaped your life. Instead of rushing through gathering your history in a shallow or fragmented way, we can thoughtfully map your experiences, clarify your goals, and begin identifying a clear, individualized and comprehensive treatment plan from the very beginning.
If you’re looking for trauma therapy in North Carolina that prioritizes depth, precision, and sustainable results, a 90-minute intake creates the intentional foundation your therapeutic work deserves.
Individual Psychotherapy Session: 90 Minutes-$350
Your healing deserves a pace that honors you and your needs
If you’ve experienced trauma, you know how difficult it can be to feel safe, settle in, and begin to open up, especially on a time limit. Traditional therapy sessions often feel like they end just as you’re starting to get somewhere with a constant feeling of racing against the clock.
My 90-minute extended sessions offer a slower, more spacious experience that allows you to stay present with what matters and without feeling pressured by the clock. Sessions can close with additional care and intention for you to feel grounded and steady rather than activated due to time being cut short.
You deserve therapy that meets you where you are, not therapy that rushes you through. This larger container within our therapy sessions give you time to breathe, time to listen to your body, and time to fulfill the deeper layers of your healing process.
If you’re ready to start trauma or PTSD treatment in North Carolina in a space that is safe, deliberate, and deeply supportive, extended 90-minute sessions provide the intentional foundation your story requires.

Making Therapy Accessible & Less Overwhelming
Have you considered therapy to address the impact of trauma but found it difficult to follow through? You're not alone—many trauma survivors face barriers like fear, anxiety, and discomfort in new environments. As a trauma & PTSD specialist, I understand these challenges and am passionate about providing accessible, trauma-informed care. That's why I focus on teletherapy, which offers flexibility, privacy, and convenience, empowering you to begin your healing journey with fewer obstacles. Teletherapy allows you to take control of your environment, making therapy feel less overwhelming and helping you take the first step toward recovery.
Benefits of Working With Me
I am a trained Trauma & PTSD specialist. I use a compassionate, individualized approach to promote long-term recovery. I focus on your unique strengths, autonomy, and needs, creating a safe, trusting environment to support your healing journey.
I understand that trauma impacts every part of your life—emotionally, physically, and relationally. By treating you as a whole person, not just focusing on symptoms, I help you move from survival to lasting recovery and post-traumatic growth.
I have significant expertise providing teletherapy to ensure virtual treatment is just as effective as in-person therapy. By using the latest research and tools, I strive to make therapy accessible, comfortable, and convenient for you.

The Process
-
Ready to take the first step toward healing? Schedule a free, confidential consultation call to discuss your needs and explore how therapy can support your journey. During this call, we'll get to know each other, address any questions you may have, and determine how we can best work together to help you achieve your goals. Whether you're navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, or having difficulty coping with significant life challenges or transitions, I’m here to offer guidance and support.
-
Finding the right therapist is a crucial step in your healing journey. I believe that a strong therapeutic relationship is key to successful outcomes, and that's why I prioritize the "goodness of fit." During your initial consultation, we’ll explore your needs, preferences, and goals to ensure that my approach aligns with what works best for you. This collaborative process allows us to create a personalized path to healing that feels comfortable, safe, and supportive. Your well-being and positive experience during your therapy journey are my top priorities. If at any point you feel that another approach or therapist might be a better fit, I’ll happily guide you toward the resources and alternative supports that best suit your needs.
-
Once we have completed the consultation call and determined we would be a good fit to start our therapeutic work together, we will schedule the initial intake session (60 minutes). Afterward, clients are encouraged to commit to weekly individual therapy sessions (50 minutes) at the beginning of treatment as this promotes effectiveness in your therapy and ensures quality of care. Decreasing the frequency of sessions over time will be collaboratively explored based on your overall progress and meeting established treatment goals.
The Benefits of Investing in Private Pay Therapy
While psychotherapy requires a financial commitment, the potential benefits for improved mental health, personal growth, and overall well-being can be profound, often making it a valuable and worthwhile investment.
Carolina Trauma Recovery has chosen to remain a private pay outpatient clinic in order to provide the highest standard of care to clients. There are many benefits of psychotherapy being private pay including:
Enhanced privacy and confidentiality.
Freedom to choose a therapist based on compatibility, expertise, and personal preferences.
Flexible, stigma-free therapy without the need for a formal diagnosis.
Autonomy over personalized treatment plans with no time limits.
Access to specialized, high-quality care without long wait times.
Filing for Out-of-Network Reimbursement
Most clients can file claims on an "out-of-network" basis. The process is fairly simple and often clients can receive significant reimbursement as a result. However, it is highly recommended that you speak with your insurance provider prior to scheduling an appointment to learn about the specific benefits and requirements of your plan.
Should you choose to file “out-of-network” claims, you will be provided with the necessary documentation in the form of a “superbill” to submit to your insurance company after every session. Additionally, I recommend using https://reimbursify.com to file claims as it makes the process very easy and convenient with a minimal fee.
Questions to Ask Your Insurance Company:
Does my plan include "out-of-network" coverage for mental health? If so, what is the percentage or amount per session that is covered?
Is there an annual deductible for “out-of-network” mental health benefits that I need to meet before I may be able to use my “out-of-network coverage?” If so, what is the annual deductible amount and how much do I have left to pay before I am able to use my “out-of-network “coverage benefits?
Is there a limit to how many sessions or expense amount my plan will cover per year?
