Commonly asked questions

Whether you are new to therapy, or you have had mixed success in the past, we at Resolute Counseling and Consulting may be able to help answer some common questions that we hear.

How do I know if therapy is what I need?

It can be difficult at times to know exactly what we need. Chances are, if you are searching for therapist, there is a pull in your heart that you need help with tackling problems in your life. It is usually a good idea to follow that intuition. If you still find yourself questioning if you need therapy ask yourself a few simple questions.

Do I currently have the tools that I need to tackle these events in my life?

Do I currently have the social support to be able to talk about my problems without fear of judgement or retribution?

If the answer to either of these questions is no then you may benefit from therapy.

I have been through through many therapist with no success. How do I know this time will be different?

One of the most important aspects of therapy is something called a therapeutic alliance. This is, simply put, the connection that you have with your therapist. For someone to be able to be successful in therapy they must know that they are safe from judgement and that their therapist is competent in their practice. Without this, it is difficult to be vulnerable enough to open up. It is also difficult to follow the advice of the therapist. As a therapist I understand that I will not connect with every client, and you must understand that you will not connect with every therapist. Sometimes it is important that we “shop around” to find a therapist that fits our needs.

The first session that you have will be centered around this understanding. At Resolute Counseling we offer a free initial consultation to ensure that I am a good fit for you and your current needs.

What is EMDR and can it help me?

EMDR is one of the most researched treatment methods that currently exists. It works by stimulating the left and right side of the brain through the use of various forms of Bilateral stimulation (BLS) either in the form of visual stimulation, following an object as it moves to the left and right, tactile stimulation, I utilize a handheld device that the client holds in each hand that vibrate from the left side to the right side, or through auditory stimulation, listening to a auditory tone as it moves to the left and then right. By stimulating the brain in this way we are able to open up new neural pathways, of communication highways, inside of the brain. This allows a client to reprocess events with new clarity and less of an emotional reaction than other methodologies.

It has been shown to treat various mental conditions (anxiety, grief, depression and trauma to name a few) with a high degree of success. It is important to understand that EMDR is not a one-size-fits-all solution. While it is extremely effective in treating  some areas, other situations may call for different interventions.

Are you in-network with insurance providers?

I am currently In-Network with BCBS and TriEast Humana. I am also a Community Care Provider with the VA allowing Veterans to see me through their VA benefits.

I can work with Out-of-Network benefits by providing a Superbill at the end of each month. I also am able to provide a sliding scale for session rates based off of need. Before thinking you can’t afford therapy please give me a call. You may be surprised at the end result.

What are your fees?

Free initial consultation (30 mins) – First session will always be free to make sure we are a good fit.


45 min session – $175

I am able to offer a sliding scale on a limited basis. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me even if you do not believe you can afford it.
Where is your physical office located?

My physical office is located at 1301 Shiloh rd Suite#530, Kennesaw, Ga 30144. It is at the intersection of Wade Green and Shiloh Road by the I-75 Wade Green Exit.

I have only ever done EMDR in face-to-face sessions. Is it possible to do EMDR over a virtual platform?

While there are certainly advantages to doing EMDR face-to-face it is still equally effective to be able to utilize it over a virtual platform. I utilize a service called RemotEMDR, that allows use to provide Bilateral Stimulation through Telehealth.
