Frequently Asked Questions: Your Path to Resilience

​​

1. Commitment and 30 Day Trial

 

Is there really a 30-day trial?

​

Yes. I’ve spent 20 years refining this somatic model, and I know that for a high-anxiety professional, "fear of the unknown" is a major barrier to healing.

 

To de-risk your investment, I offer a 30-day trial of the Blue Sage Ecosystem.

 

You will have full access to the Somatic Resource Vault, our Integrative Support Group (Beta), and your first two sessions.

 

If it doesn’t feel like the right fit by day 30, you can walk away with no further obligation.​

​

Why 6 months?​​

​

Some of the most common issues I have seen over the past 20 years is how confused clients feel about:

 

• How often should come to therapy in order for it to be effective?

• How can I best utilize my session time (reporting and venting versus focusing on solutions)?

• What should I be working on in-between sessions?

• When is the work done?

• How can I tell if I'm getting better

​​

Because our Monthly Care Plan is based on outcomes not attendance it is intentionally designed to move you from 'reporting' on the past to 'resolving' for the future.

 

By prioritizing a bi-weekly rhythm, we ensure that our sessions aren't spent simply catching up on a month’s worth of stressors, but instead dive deep into the high-impact work that creates lasting transformation.

​

This consistent momentum prevents the 'mental bottleneck' of carrying a month of updates alone and allows our insights to build upon each other in real-time.

​

It is a structure built for those who value depth and efficiency, ensuring every minute of our time together is focused on your progress rather than just your history.

​

2. Our Somatic Approach

​

How do I know if this is the right "fit" for me?

​

This is the right fit if you are tired of "talking in circles" and want a bottom-up, somatic approach that resolves the biological roots of your anxiety.

 

We start with a FREE 30-minute Consultation Call to ensure our styles align before you ever commit.

​

You also have 30 days to walk away with no further commitment.

​

What is Somatic Therapy, and how is it different?

​

Traditional therapy is "top-down" (focused on thoughts). But if you’re a high-achiever, your "thinking" brain is already overworked. We work from the body up.

 

By regulating your nervous system first, we quiet the mind naturally.

 

We use experiential tools to create changes that stick, rather than just managing symptoms.

​

How will I know it’s working?

​

Beyond physiological resilience, you’ll notice these shifts in your daily life:

​

• Proactive Decision-Making: You find yourself making choices based on your goals and values rather than reacting out of fear or "people-pleasing" impulses.

​

• Reduced "Recovery Time": When a conflict or stressor occurs, you spend minutes or hours in a state of upset rather than days or weeks.

​

• Internal Self-Soothed: You find you have a "toolbox" of internal strategies that actually work, reducing your reliance on external distractions or numbing behaviors.

​

• Restored Cognitive Bandwidth: You have more mental energy for creativity, hobbies, and career growth because your brain isn't constantly tied up in "threat detection" or rumination.

​

• Improved Relational Boundaries: You feel a new ability to say "no" without a wave of guilt, and "yes" only to the things that truly align with your capacity.

​

• A "Quieter" Internal Narrative: The harsh inner critic begins to lose its volume, replaced by a more neutral, observant, and supportive inner voice.

​

3. Investment & Insurance

​

What is the total investment?

​

Our Monthly Care Plan is $450/month. This isn't a fee for "time"; it's a fee for a 360-degree support container.

 

We don't do "session-by-session" work because your nervous system needs a stable, consistent environment to truly shift.

​

Why are you an "Out-of-Network" practice?

​

I’m a Charlotte native, and I value the privacy and autonomy of our community.

 

Staying out-of-network protects your records from national insurance databases and ensures that our clinical work is dictated by your needs, not an insurance adjuster’s quota.

​

How do I get reimbursed?

​

While you pay a flat monthly fee, we provide a Monthly Superbill. This document "translates" your holistic care into standard clinical codes for the individual sessions included in your plan.

 

Most clients with PPO plans receive 50–80% reimbursement for these sessions.

​

Can I use my HSA or FSA?

​

Absolutely. Our plans are a qualified medical expense. You can use your HSA or FSA card just like a regular credit card at the time of billing.

​

4. The Client Experience

​

How long are the sessions?

​

Individual sessions are a 60-minute clinical hour. This provides enough time for deep processing while ensuring you can transition back into your professional day without feeling over-stimulated.

 

How should I prepare for my first session?

​

• The "5-Minute Buffer": Don’t jump straight from a board meeting into therapy. Give your body five minutes to downshift first.

​

• Curate Privacy: Ensure you’re in a quiet, private space where your nervous system can feel "unobserved."

​

• Comfort is Clinical: Wear clothes that allow you to breathe and move comfortably.

​

• Leave the "Performance" at the Door: You don't need to have a perfect script. Just bring your curiosity.
