Services available:
Individual Therapy: For those wanting to treat diagnosable conditions such as anxiety, depression, PTSD, OCD, addiction, excessive anger, insomnia, or anything else with a psychological component. We tend to use Somatic Experiencing, Internal Family Systems, EMDR, and Emotion-Focused models, but also have experience in Cognitive-Behavioral and derivative approaches (ACT, DBT, etc.). If we find that presenting issues are directly linked to current relationships, or that certain relationships could accelerate healing, we may insist on including the relevant people in therapy.
Couples Therapy: No matter the stage of the relationship (dating, engaged, married, separating/divorced...), couples therapy can help to improve relationship skills and increase harmony in the relationship. It may involve individual work with one or both partners in efforts to decrease disruptive emotions and behaviors in couple dynamics.
Child/Parent Therapy: Children of all ages may participate in therapy, though we would only meet individually with children 4 years and older. Though children may be presenting behavioral or emotional symptoms, this therapy will be focused on improving parents' ability to provide therapeutic help. Individual meetings with children will be to build rapport, gather information, and prepare them to receive the most important therapeutic help from their parents.
Family Therapy: If you don't feel free to openly experience your own emotions or beliefs among family members, family therapy may be right for you. We would work to create a safe space in the therapy room, then work to create it at home. This may involve meeting individually, in sub-groups, and as a whole family. However, deeper individual or couple issues may need to be addressed before effective family dynamics can form.
All services are also available over telehealth.
Billing/Insurance: All the above services may be covered by insurance if one of the involved persons benefited by the service meets criteria for a qualifying DSM/ICD diagnosis. Those using insurance will be billed the maximum amount allowed by their plan ($120/hr on average). Otherwise, they are billed at an out-of-pocket rate of $125/hour. Most slots are 60 minutes, but an extra 30 minutes may be scheduled and billed at the out-of-pocket rate (long sessions must be scheduled in-person). All non-session activities (letters, phone calls, consultations, group presentations) are billed at $125/hr and are typically not covered by insurance.
As of 1/1/2024, we are in-network with:
Blue Cross/Blue Shield, including Regence (not Kaprena or Tasha)
Clients may also call their insurance providers to ask about out-of-network benefits.
We are NOT paneled with Medicaid/Medicare. See these links for Medicaid providers around Utah County:

Single Session: This service, designated for Saturdays, is for those that would benefit from a single session without follow-up, or for those wanting to meet before getting on the waitlist. These are billed at the regular rate, and typically are not billed to insurance.
Group Presentations: Boone, Kaprena, or both, can present on various mental health and relational topics to groups of various sizes.. See the blog contents for possible topics. $200/hr + travel expenses.
