How We Work · Knoxville, TN
Simple, Flexible, and Built Around Your Life.
No insurance hassles. No waiting lists. No disappearing from your life to get help. Here's everything you need to know before we talk.
Need to Know
The practical stuff, up front.
These are the questions most people have before they reach out. We’d rather you have the answers now.
Private pay only. We do not bill insurance directly. If you have out-of-network benefits, we provide a superbill for reimbursement, or can point you to a service that handles the filing automatically.
Sessions are one full hour — $175 per session.
Email correspondence between sessions is included. Not an add-on. Part of how we work.
Available in person in the Knoxville area including Oak Ridge, Lenoir City, and Clinton and by telehealth across Tennessee.
You schedule directly using our online booking link. No phone tag, no waiting for a callback.
Why This Works
What makes this different from other approaches.
Most counseling asks you to fit your life around treatment. Inpatient programs pull you out of your world entirely. Insurance-based therapy moves slowly, limits sessions, and restricts what kind of help you can receive.
This is different. You stay in your life, your job, your family, your responsibilities; while we build something that actually works inside it. Sessions are supplemented by email between appointments, so the work doesn't stop when the hour ends. And because we're private pay, the focus is entirely on what you need; not what a billing code allows.
This is a flexible approach by design. A crisis calls for intensity; we bring it. Deeper, slower change calls for a different pace: we build it. The strategy adjusts to what you're working on, what you need, and what your life has the bandwidth for.
What to Expect
How it starts and where it goes.
Step 1 Free 30-minute video consultation
This is where we start. No commitment, no pressure. You tell me what's going on, I tell you how I work, and we see if it feels like a good fit. If it does, we schedule your first session right then.
Step 2 First session
Your first full session is about understanding your situation in depth — where things are, what you've tried, what matters most. We begin mapping a direction together.
Step 3 Ongoing work
From there, we work at a pace built around you. In-person, video, or a mix of both — whatever fits your life and your situation. Weekly, every other week, or monthly — we find the Goldilocks zone. Often enough that momentum stays real. Not so often that we're covering the same ground twice. As your situation changes, the approach adjusts with it.
Step 4 Building something that lasts
This isn't a short-term fix. Real change is built slowly, honestly, and with your whole life in mind. We track progress, adjust the strategy, and keep moving forward.
Transparent pricing, no surprises.
Costs & Payment
Sessions are $175 for a full hour. That includes email correspondence between sessions, not as a separate service, but as part of how we work. Staying connected between appointments is part of what makes this effective.
We are a private pay practice and do not bill insurance directly. If you have a PPO or out-of-network plan, you may be eligible for partial reimbursement, sometimes 30 to 80 percent depending on your plan. We provide a superbill to submit to your insurance, or can connect you with a service that files on your behalf.
Payment is collected at the time of service. We accept cash, HSA, and major credit and debit cards.
Where to Next
Let’s talk.
The consultation is free, low stakes, and takes 30 minutes. We ask that couples be on the call together, even if you’re in different places.
Just show up, we’ll meet and have a chat about what’s going on, and how I might be able to help you. You’ll have time to ask any questions you might have.
