Therapy has no set time limit. However, I tell all my patients to expect at least 1 year from start to finish. It may take longer, or less time depending on the issues we explore and what comes up during therapy.

In some cases yes your health insurance will cover therapy. This often depends on your provider and the plan you have selected. You can also seek reimbursement from your health insurance provider. You will have to reach out to them to learn their process for this.

Not all providers at DRT take insurance. Currently DRT is working to panel with multiple insurance companies. Some of our therapists take Medicaid/Medicare, Aetna, Humana Tri-Care, BCBS. It is important that you talk to your individual provider, or the provider you wish to see specifically about the insurance that they may or may not take at this time. Please note that throughout 2024, and 2025 we will be paneling with various insurance agencies and increasing our ability to take insurance. Our goal, is to assist our clients however possible so that they can attend therapy. If your chosen therapist does not take insurance please talk to them about sliding scale rates.

Cost of therapy is always one of the most crucial and often times prohibiting factors for clients. While I do not seek to be cost prohibitive it is expensive to operate. 1:1 therapy: $175.00 Couples: $350.00 Sliding Scale: 75-175

DRT serves primarily adolescents and adults.

DRT does not see clients in person. We see all of our clients via telehealth for your convenience, comfort and safety.

Our gender, and sex are often conflated. Gender is a social-construct created by society to help us understand masculine and feminine roles in a more succinct way. Gender expression is how we display these cues for others so that they can decide how to categorize us. This is complex especially when working with transgender clientele since society conflates gender and sex. In short, DRT will work with you to help you achieve the expression you want that you are most comfortable with for the stage in life that you find yourself based on standards of care for WPATH.

Each therapist has their own particular operational Modality Sara Kennedy: My primary theoretical orientation is Reality Therapy and Choice Theory. You can learn more by clicking the button below. I also utilize a mixtures of Feminist Theory, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Action Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Gestalt Therapy based on your individual needs at the time. We might use CBT to work on changing cognitive thought patterns related to anxiety, or DBT to change certain maladaptive behaviors. ACT comes in handy when we start talking about how our heroes/heroines both comic or anime speak to us, and how we identify with them. Or how we identify with certain pop cultural artifacts. Gestalt might come in handy when we are grieving or having difficulty communicating with another. While Reality Therapy and Choice Theory are my primary modalities I pull from others as necessary. No one size fits all though I utilize the others in specific circumstances.
