Frequently Asked Questions
The simplest path is to book a free 15-minute virtual consult. We'll talk briefly about what support you're looking for, answer any questions you have, and decide together whether working together makes sense. If it does, we'll schedule a first session from there.
More than OK. Many of the men I work with have never done this before. There's nothing you need to know or prepare. We figure it out together.
The first session, we slow down. There's no script. You don't need to know what to say. I'll listen, ask honest questions, and stay with what comes up. By the end, you'll have a clearer sense of what's been weighing on you and what working together could look like.
Most men meet with me weekly or every other week. Weekly is more common at the start; biweekly often works better once we've established a rhythm. We'll figure out together what fits your schedule and what the work calls for. There is no commitment so frequency can be adjusted at any time.
It varies. Some men come in for a defined stretch, often six to ten sessions, to work through one specific thing. Others stay longer for deeper work. You set the pace. Both are common, and neither is right or wrong.
Both. In-person sessions are held in College Station. Virtual sessions are available anywhere in Texas. Many men do a mix, depending on the week.
Individual sessions are $140. Couples sessions are $150. Sessions run fifty minutes.
Anchor Ridge is a private-pay practice. While I don't bill insurance directly, many clients are able to receive partial reimbursement through their insurance by submitting a superbill, which I'm happy to provide.
Yes. A superbill is generated monthly through the client portal, which you always have access to. A superbill includes the service code, your diagnosis (if applicable), and the amount paid, which is what most insurance carriers need to process an out-of-network claim. Reimbursement rates vary by plan, so it's worth calling your insurance ahead of time to ask about out-of-network coverage for outpatient mental health.
I ask for at least 24 hours' notice if you need to cancel or reschedule. Cancellations made with less than 24 hours' notice are charged the full session fee. Life happens, and exceptions are handled case by case, but the 24-hour window keeps the schedule workable for everyone.
My counseling hours are limited to business hours with availability that varies week to week. I don't see clients on evenings or weekends. Virtual sessions can sometimes make a midday hour easier to fit in between meetings or travel. If timing might be a barrier, bring it up on your consult call and we'll see what works.
No. Men come to me from a range of places: deep faith, recovering faith, no faith, complicated faith. The work meets you where you are. If faith is central to how you process things, we can engage it directly. If it's not, we won't.
It means I take faith seriously as part of how people make sense of their lives, and I'm willing to bring it into the work when it's helpful. It doesn't mean every session opens with prayer or that the work is built on a specific theology. It means your faith, however it shows up, is welcome in the room. It also means clinical work and faith aren't competing here. They're both part of the picture.
If leadership is a significant part of your life, then almost always yes. Leadership pressure tends to be part of what brings men in, not a side topic. If you lead at work, in ministry, or in your family, that context shapes how you experience stress, how you connect, and what you need from therapy. We can work with that directly.
Yes. I've spent years working with pastors and ministry leaders, and I understand the unique weight of leading spiritually while also being a person with your own struggles. Confidentiality is taken seriously here, especially for clients whose role makes therapy feel risky to access.
