Attachment Lab Counseling: Individual and Couples Therapy in Uptown Dallas

Most therapy approaches focus on changing thoughts, modifying behaviors, or teaching coping skills, and those things are helpful when collaboratively tailored to the needs of the client. Attachment-based therapy in Dallas, however, goes a layer deeper, exploring the why behind the those thoughts and behaviors and tracing them back to the relational patterns you learned in childhood. Rather than just teaching you tools to manage a “symptom,” attachment therapy helps you understand the pain driving it and how it helped you survive. Integrated with approaches that honor your body’s wisdom and your nervous system’s cues, this work allows you to get to the root of the issue and experience healing at the core.

The short answer is no, not at all. I tell me clients that “we don’t have to go hunting for trauma” to explore and heal relational patterns. We will talk about what was impactful to you about the way you grew up, and, if we find something that you hadn’t recognized as unhealthy before, we have the tools to treat that appropriately. Life experiences do not have to be obviously traumatic to affect you, and I am much more interested in your goals and wellbeing than putting you in a labeled category.

Considering that therapy is an investment on your part in so many ways, this question is so helpful to ask at the beginning and one of the many reasons why free consults are helpful, because the answer is genuinely different for each person. Some clients come in with a specific event to process (a painful breakup or recent traumatic incident) or a concrete goal (preparing for marriage or engagement), and are ready to “graduate” therapy after three to five months. Others with complex trauma or long-standing relationship cycles need deeper work and find that twelve to eighteen months gives them the space to really feel safe, open up, and process effectively. At Attachment Lab, we check in regularly on your goals and ask for feedback so that you're never in therapy longer than is meaningful to you or rushed out before you're ready.

50 minute individual sessions are $160 and 55 minute couples sessions are $190.

Have you ever reached the end of a therapy session and felt like you were JUST getting to the good stuff? 80 minute sessions are available to address this concern and are priced at $220 for individuals and $275 for couples. Extended sessions are available in-person in Uptown Dallas or virtually across Texas.

I am an out-of-network provider, so payment for sessions is direct and due at the time of service. This allows you more confidentiality, privacy, and freedom of choice in your treatment. Specifically, it avoids both a mental health diagnosis going on your permanent record AND insurance companies having access to your confidential records. It means that I work for you, not the insurance company, so we can customize treatment length and approaches to fit your goals.

However, this doesn’t mean that you can’t use your benefits. Some insurance plans reimburse out-of-network mental health appointment between 50% - 80% of the session cost (the rate of repayment is unique to your plan). I utilize a benefits calculator during our consult call to help you instantly determine your out-of-network coverage. If you have benefits, I will automatically provide you with a superbill which is essentially a detailed receipt for services that contains all the information your insurance needs to reimburse you for appointments.

To book a session in Uptown Dallas or virtually anywhere in Texas, can access my calendar directly by clicking the “book a free consult” button below and scheduling yourself a free 15 minute phone call. This is a time to help you determine if I am a good fit for your needs, ask any questions you have, and make sure you feel comfortable moving forward in scheduling. At the end of the consult, if we both feel that it’s a good fit, we will schedule your first session for either in-person in Dallas or virtually anywhere in the metroplex/Texas.
