Rooted Counseling & Wellness FAQs

I am currently private pay only. I do offer my clients bulk billing who would like to submit to insurance for out-of-network benefits. I also accept FSA, HSA cards and Care Credit as forms of payment. Please click here if you would like to learn more about Care Credit: https://www.carecredit.com/go/971NSK/

If you would like to learn more about why I choose not to be paneled with insurance and how this benefits my clients, you can read more about this in my blog post here: The Rooted Blog - How Private Pay Benefits You

Rather than using a single fixed fee, Rooted Counseling & Wellness offers a tiered, values-informed rate structure designed to support both accessibility and sustainability of care. Rates are guided by current financial capacity, access to resources, and individual circumstances, rather than income alone.

Clients are invited to explore a rate that feels accessible and supportive of consistent therapy. For an overview of the different rate tiers and guidance on how rates are determined, please visit the Ethical Therapy Rates for a Shared Community page.

Yes. Rooted Counseling & Wellness offers financing through CareCredit for clients who are interested in spreading the cost of therapy over time. CareCredit is a third-party healthcare financing option that may allow you to make monthly payments, depending on eligibility.

This option can be especially helpful for extended sessions or intensive work. Clients are encouraged to review CareCredit’s terms and pre-qualification process to determine whether this option fits their financial needs.

Yes, Rooted Counseling & Wellness offers a limited number of reduced-rate and fully subsidized (pro bono) therapy sessions as part of a tiered, values-informed fee structure.

Pro bono sessions are available in very limited numbers and are reserved for individuals experiencing acute financial hardship or systemic barriers that make payment inaccessible at this time. Availability depends on current capacity and is reviewed periodically.

If you are interested in learning more about how this process works, including what rates are, how rates are assessed and reviewed, you can find additional details on the Ethical Therapy Rates for a Shared Community page.

I offer both in-person and virtual sessions to meet a client’s preferences. For all virtual sessions, client’s must be located in the state of Wisconsin, have a private area to chat, and a working web camera.

I work with individuals aged 18 and up. I have also had the privilege of working with Native American communities for several years. My approach is grounded in cultural humility, and I strive to create a space that respects and integrates each client’s unique cultural identity, traditions, and ways of healing.

You're not alone in feeling hesitant—many people come to me after previous therapy experiences that felt unhelpful or disconnected. One of the most important elements of effective therapy is the relationship between you and your therapist. That’s why I offer a free 15-minute consultation. This gives us a chance to talk, explore what you're looking for, and see if we’re a good fit—because you deserve to feel safe and supported.

In addition to building that connection, I also take a different approach. Instead of only talking about your experiences, I integrate somatic therapy and Brainspotting to help you process trauma through the body, not just the mind. This can be especially powerful for people who feel stuck or overwhelmed by traditional talk therapy. Together, we’ll work gently and at your pace to help you find relief and healing from the inside out.

Yes! I pride myself on making myself accessible to my clients. Juggling family, work, beating traffic, and a list of to-do’s all while trying to make time for yourself to squeeze in some therapy is hard.

I always offer several post-5 p.m. slots to my clients. Brainspotting Intensives are available for weekend bookings as well.
