How do I get started with therapy?

To inquire about appointments with Brenda Cochran, LCSW, email her directly here. We can discuss what you’re looking for, appointment availability, and payment options. Please keep your initial email brief; you do not need to share your trauma history to get started.

Can I include my faith in therapy?

Yes. If you would like to include your Christian faith or spiritual beliefs, we can explore how they support your healing. Clients of all faith backgrounds, or none, are welcome. Your preferences guide whether and how faith is included in our work.

How does CBT fit into trauma therapy?

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps us notice how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors influence one another. In our work, we may gently examine self-blame, harsh self-judgment, or beliefs shaped by painful experiences and practice more balanced ways of thinking. We combine this with attention to safety, emotional regulation, and your individual pace.

  • ​Private Pay and Good Faith Estimate

​​

​You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost. Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.​

 

  • You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.

  • Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your healthcare provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.

  • If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.

  • Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
