Insurance, Fees & Specialized Intake Options
We accept Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS) for most of our clinicians. For private pay and out-of-network care, our standard rate is $250 per session, with an income-based sliding scale available for clients with reduced income.
If you utilize out-of-network benefits, we provide fully compliant monthly Superbills containing all required medical and diagnostic codes to streamline your insurance reimbursement process.
We believe in therapeutic equity. To ensure high-quality trauma treatment remains accessible across the state, our sliding scale also applies to teletherapy options for remote clients residing anywhere in Alabama.
Somatic Therapies That Actually Work… Fast.
Our Therapy Services in Birmingham & Hoover
EMDR Therapy
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a highly effective, evidence-based treatment for PTSD and severe anxiety. It helps the brain reprocess traumatic memories so they no longer cause emotional distress.
Learn About EMDR ›Brainspotting
A powerful, focused treatment that locates and releases core neurophysiological sources of emotional and physical pain. Excellent for clients who feel "stuck" in traditional talk therapy.
Learn About Brainspotting ›Somatic Experiencing
Trauma isn't just in the mind; it is stored in the nervous system. This body-oriented approach gently releases "fight or flight" energy to heal trauma and chronic stress disorders.
Learn About Somatic Therapy ›Jungian Depth Psychology
Move beyond simply managing symptoms. We use dream analysis, shadow work, and archetype integration to help you discover the root of your depression and find deep, lasting meaning.
Learn About Jungian Therapy ›QEEG Brain Mapping
We use objective, scientific diagnostics to get a precise picture of your unique brain function. This allows us to create highly targeted treatments for ADHD, Autism, and brain injury.
Learn About QEEG ›Internal Family Systems (IFS)
A transformative, parts-based therapy that helps heal complex trauma (CPTSD). IFS helps you understand and harmonize the different protective "parts" of your personality.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does therapy cost, and do you take insurance?
Blue Cross Blue Shield is accepted for most of our clinicians. Private-pay sessions are $250 with an income-based sliding scale, and we provide monthly superbills for out-of-network reimbursement.
How do I know which therapist or treatment is right for me?
You don't have to. Your first call is a free 15-minute conversation with our intake coordinator, who matches you with the clinician best suited to what you're dealing with.
Do you offer online therapy?
Yes. Secure video sessions for anyone physically in Alabama, with the same sliding-scale options. QEEG brain mapping and ETT require an office visit.
Do I have to talk about my trauma in detail?
No. EMDR, Brainspotting and somatic therapy process trauma with minimal narration, and nothing is processed before you're ready.
Where are you located?
2025 Shady Crest Drive, Suite 203, Hoover, off I-65 near Riverchase, about ten minutes from Vestavia Hills, Homewood and Mountain Brook.
