Telehealth is somewhat more impersonal than in-person.

Attention! Dr. Z does NOT take medical insurance. Dr. Z is an out-of-network provider. A “superbill” for each session, which you can provide to your medical insurance for reimbursement or for application toward your deductible, is available upon request. You will be able to obtain reimbursement or application toward your deductible, provided your medical insurance coverage allows for out-of-network and includes mental health. Note that only psychotherapy (with diagnosis) is usually covered, and that counseling (e.g., couples counseling) is usually not covered by medical insurance. Check with your provider for details.

Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) is a cost-effective psychotherapy model due to its emphasis on rapid, goal-oriented change, typically requiring only 5 to 10 sessions. Dr. Z offers a six session intensive that will work well in most cases. By focusing on solutions rather than the origins of problems, SFBT minimizes time spent in treatment, resulting in lower cost. Its adaptability across various issues allows for broad application in individual, couple, and family contexts. Additionally, SFBT enhances efficiency and reduces system-wide expenses, making it an economically sustainable alternative to longer-term therapies.
Hundreds of clients from all walks of life have worked with Dr. Z. SFBT is Dr. Z’s first line of intervention to provide immediate help. An initial diagnostic interview will determine if SFBT or another therapy (CBT, EMDR, CPT) is appropriate for your case. Solution -Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), as well as Spiritually Integrated Counseling (Christ-centered), will be chosen as appropriate after a thorough assessment.
