Do you offer virtual therapy for women anywhere in Texas?

Yes. Sage Women's Counseling is 100% telehealth. I see adult women who are physically located anywhere in Texas.

Do you accept insurance?

I'm in-network with several major insurance plans. Reach out and I can confirm whether I take yours.

Can I see you if I don't live in Texas?

No. Texas licensing rules require that clients be located in Texas at the time of session. I only work with women who reside in Texas.

What can I expect in a first session?

The first session is about getting to know each other. I'll ask about what's bringing you in, your history, and what you're hoping to get out of therapy. You can ask me anything too, it's a two-way fit, not just an intake.

What kind of therapy do you do?

I draw from EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Relational Therapy, and Mindfulness. What we use depends on you, what you're working through, and what actually fits.

Is virtual therapy as effective as in-person?

Research consistently shows telehealth therapy is comparable to in-person for anxiety, depression, and trauma-related concerns. Many women also find it easier to fit into a full life.

Is my telehealth session private?

Yes. Sessions are conducted on a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform.

How do I know if we're a good fit?

Start with a free 15-minute phone consultation. It's a low-pressure way to ask questions, share a bit about what's going on, and see how it feels to talk with me before committing to ongoing work.

Ready to start?

A consultation is the easiest first step. Share a little about what's going on and I'll be in touch to schedule.
