FAQs
How can therapy help me?
Therapy provides a supportive space to understand your thoughts and emotions, build coping tools, and make lasting changes to improve your mental health and relationships.
Do I really need therapy? I can usually handle my problems
Many people feel that way. Therapy offers structured guidance and professional tools to help you address deeper patterns and achieve long-term emotional stability.
What issues do you help with?
We help clients manage anxiety, depression, stress, performance challenges, and obsessive-compulsive symptoms, offering evidence-based care for sustainable results.
Is CBT therapy effective for anxiety and depression?
Yes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one of the most researched and effective treatments for anxiety, depression, and related conditions. It focuses on practical tools that help you create meaningful change.
What can I expect from my first session?
Your first session focuses on understanding your background, challenges, and goals. Together, we’ll create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs.
Do you accept insurance?
We intentionally do not accept insurance so we can make therapy more accessible and flexible for our clients.
By remaining out-of-network, we’re able to:
- Keep sessions confidential and avoid sharing your mental health records with insurance companies.
- Offer greater freedom in how we structure your care — no limits on session length, frequency, or treatment type.
- Maintain transparent pricing without unexpected coverage restrictions or denials.
We can provide superbills if you wish to seek partial reimbursement from your insurance provider.
Is online therapy as effective as in-person sessions?
Yes. Research shows online therapy is just as effective as in-person care, providing convenience and accessibility without compromising quality.

Fantastic! Brady does an excellent job of helping me identify the core issues bothering me and helping me treat these areas. I’ve had great success using the techniques he taught me and feel more at peace and comfortable with my past and present. I highly recommend Brady to anybody who needs somebody to talk to in therapy.
Brady is truly an amazing leader and counselor. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to change their lives and seeking freedom. He is empathetic, kind and seeks to understand those he serves. As I met with Brady for sessions, and was part of a team he lead, I learned about what grace truly means and how to give grace to others. Under his guidance and leadership I became a better person and a much better leader.
