HEAR FROM OUR HAPPY CLIENTS
How Individual Therapy Works
Modern live, with its ups and downs, affects our nervous systems. It keeps our brains and bodies locked in a loop of fear, shutdown, or hypervigilance, even long after the original event is over.
In therapy, we gently disrupt that loop. We do this by:
Establishing safety first. There is no pressure to dive into stories before you’re ready.
Helping you notice how life stress shows up in your body and daily reactions.
Using evidence-based tools to process this stress and trauma energy while feeling safe..
Supporting you as you build new emotional and relational experiences that feel safe, grounded, and real.
The goal is to work through our feelings about our lives, so we can get unstuck. Circumstances will no longer control how you feel, how you relate, or how you live.

Healing starts with feeling safe. Our therapists are not only clinically trained in mental health. They bring real presence, cultural humility, and deep care to every session. Each one creates a space where your story is heard, your pain is honored, and your healing is possible.

Insurance, Privacy, and Your Care
"We work outside insurance so your personal information stays in your hands and not in an insurer’s files. You get care tailored to you, without insurance-imposed limits on how often we can meet or how long our sessions can be, and without required diagnoses or treatment shaped by insurance company rules. This lets us focus fully on your needs, protect your privacy, and keep your therapy consistent. If you’d like, I can provide a superbill so you can request possible out-of-network reimbursement while still choosing the therapist you trust. Submitting a superbill means your insurer will receive limited session details, but not ongoing therapy notes."
Frequently Asked Questions
What is done in therapy?
In therapy, we begin by creating a safe, supportive relationship. And only then do we gently explore trauma at a pace you can manage. Sessions often involve tracking how trauma shows up in your body and emotions, processing traumatic memories safely, and developing new ways to feel grounded and resilient.
Which type of therapy is best for me?
There isn’t one universally “best” approach. Our clinicians use evidence-based methods like cognitive-behaviorally informed, person‑centered, and existential approaches that are tailored to your individual needs. Therapy is collaborative and structured around what resonates best with you.
How do I heal my nervous system from stress and trauma?
By gradually learning to notice and regulate trauma-driven responses, such as hypervigilance or shutdown, you strengthen your capacity to relax and feel safe. In therapy, we support you through grounding, breathwork, narrative integration, and skills that restore a sense of calm and control.
How long does therapy last?
Sessions are typically 50 minutes long. Therapy may last for a few months or longer, depending on what you’re working through and how you’re progressing. It’s flexible, sometimes short-term for specific goals, sometimes longer to build sustained change.
Does insurance cover individual therapy?
Navigating Courage is not contracted with insurance providers. We offer private-pay care and provide a detailed Superbill (receipt with billing codes) that you can submit to your out-of-network insurance plan. Many clients receive partial or full reimbursement this way. Acceptable payment methods also include HSA and Flex spending accounts.
Is therapy confidential?
Absolutely. Everything you share in therapy stays between you and your provider, with very limited exceptions as required by law (e.g., safety concerns). We create a safe, private space for your healing journey.
Will I ever cry in therapy?
You might, and that’s perfectly ok. Emotions are a sign that healing is happening. A compassionate therapist helps you feel held through whatever emotions come up, whether tears, relief, or reflection.
How do I get started?
Simply fill out the contact form on this page, email us, or schedule directly with our client portal. A team member will contact you within 24–48 hours to pair you with a therapist and schedule your first session.
