Anxiety, Depression & EMDR Therapy in San Marcos, TX

There are options! 🌳 I offer a monthly flat fee that operates much like a (non-contractual) membership. This is great for clients seeking weekly sessions on a regular basis, as it saves you money in the long run. The membership provides you up to four sessions per month, and the flat fee is $350. Any additional sessions per month will be $87.50. 🌿 The next option is to pay as you go. The fee is $95 per session. 🌱 I also offer a sliding scale option for those who request it. I believe in accessible mental health care for all people, so please don't hesitate to ask. Check out the next FAQ about insurance if you need more clarification on what Rooted in Presence offers. I look forward to your free consultation call to chat about next steps!

I am in-network with select insurance plans and also welcome private pay clients. A sliding scale option is available for those who request it. My priority is to offer quality, affordable mental health care. I am currently in-network with: Aetna Ascension Blue Cross and Blue Shield Carelon Behavioral Health Cigna Quest Behavioral Health A note on using insurance: While I do work with select providers, it's worth knowing that insurance requires a mental health diagnosis, which becomes part of your permanent health record. While I provide diagnoses when needed, I believe you are more than a label. What's often seen as a "diagnosis" can be a natural response to difficult experiences, and our work together focuses on easing symptoms and supporting your well-being, not getting stuck on labels. Insurance can also sometimes restrict the number of sessions or end coverage unexpectedly. For these reasons, some clients choose private pay even when they have insurance, and I'm happy to help you think through what feels like the most supportive and consistent path for your healing.

Yes. Therapy can be a blend of different approaches based on your needs, goals, and comfort level. Sessions may include talk therapy for processing and insight, IFS to understand and work with different parts of yourself, EMDR to gently process past experiences, and hypnotherapy to address patterns at a deeper level. I also often help clients who struggle with anxiety and depression. Whichever combination you choose, we move at your pace and adjust the approach as you go, creating a personalized path that supports meaningful and sustainable change.

At this time, I only offer therapeutic services to individuals aged 18 or older. My goal for Rooted in Presence is to expand into more offerings in the future, including EMDR for children, teens, couples, families, and groups.
