How do I know if you're the right therapist for me?
The therapeutic relationship is a big part of what makes therapy work. I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation so we can connect, talk briefly about what you're looking for, and see if it feels like a good match. If I’m not the right fit, I have a fabulous network of colleagues, and I’m more than happy to help you find someone to support you best.
I’ve never done therapy before. Is that okay?
Absolutely! I'll help you get started. All you have to do is be curious and willing to show up. I’ll meet you where you are, and we’ll go from there.
Do you offer online divorce therapy for Tennessee residents?
Yes. I offer both in-person divorce therapy and divorce coaching sessions in Nashville and East Nashville and secure telehealth sessions for clients across Tennessee. You’re welcome to choose what feels best for you or switch it up as needed.
What types of divorce counseling approaches do you use?
My approach is intuitive, relational, and emotionally attuned. I draw from evidence-based modalities like Internal Family Systems (IFS), Narrative Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and the Gottman Method (for couples). I tailor our work uniquely to you and your needs using an eclectic approach known as Common Factors.
Do you offer divorce support coaching in addition to therapy?
Yes, I provide both divorce therapy for emotional processing and divorce support coaching for practical guidance with decisions and life transitions.
What's the difference between divorce therapy and divorce coaching?
Divorce therapy focuses on emotional processing, grief, and mental health support. Divorce coaching is more practical, helping with decisions, logistics, and building your post-divorce life.
Can you help with high-conflict divorce situations?
Absolutely. I specialize in high-conflict divorce therapy, helping clients manage difficult communications, reduce emotional intensity, and develop coping strategies for contentious separations.
Do you work with couples considering divorce (discernment counseling)?
Yes, I offer discernment counseling for couples unsure about divorce. This structured process helps you gain clarity about your relationship's future without pressure to reconcile or separate.
What are your rates?
Divorce therapy session rates range from $150 to $200, depending on the day, time (weekend or later evening hours), and whether we are meeting individually, as a couple, or as a group. I also reserve a limited number of sliding scale spots, as I believe therapy should be accessible and affordable. If cost is a concern, please don’t hesitate to reach out — I’m happy to discuss options together.
Do you take insurance?
I am not in-network with insurance providers. However, I can provide a superbill if you'd like to submit claims for possible out-of-network reimbursement. I also offer a limited number of sliding scale spots to help keep care accessible. If you're interested in sliding scale, reach out to discuss options; I'd be delighted to find a way to work together.
How often will we meet?
Most clients start with weekly sessions, but we can always adjust based on your needs, schedule, and goals. Consistency helps the work go deeper, but there’s no one-size-fits-all approach. Over time, some clients move to monthly maintenance sessions or occasional check-ins every few months. We’ll collaborate on a rhythm that feels supportive and sustainable for you.
What if my partner is hesitant about therapy?
That’s completely understandable. It’s common for one partner to feel more ready than the other. If your partner has concerns, I’m happy to answer questions or clarify what to expect. If they’re open to just one session, that can be a good starting point. We’ll take it from there, gently and collaboratively.
What are your hours?
I currently see clients Tuesday through Sunday, with availability between 10am and 8pm. I’m happy to offer both weekend and evening sessions to help therapy fit into your life. If you're curious about scheduling, feel free to reach out and I’ll do my best to find a time that works for you.
Where are you located?
I see clients in person at Nashville Therapy Group’s offices in both Nashville and East Nashville, and I also offer secure telehealth sessions for clients across Tennessee. You’re welcome to choose the location and format that feels best for you.
Will it be like the TV show?
Kind of! I love that show too, and while real therapy doesn’t come with cameras, the heart of it is the same: people working to be heard, understood, and connected. Like Orna, I draw from evidence-based approaches (including EFT and the Gottman Method), but our sessions will be tailored to your unique relationship. It’s worth noting that the show compresses months of work into short episodes. In real life, progress unfolds more gradually, with space to explore and return to themes as they come up.
