THERAPY

The Value of Therapy

Therapy can provide you with a safe and supportive environment to explore your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, leading to personal growth, self-understanding, and improved mental well-being.

Therapy helps you gain insight into the root causes of your difficulties, develop healthier coping strategies, and acquire tools to navigate life's challenges more effectively. It promotes self-reflection, emotional healing, and the development of new perspectives, empowering you to make positive changes, improve relationships, and achieve a greater sense of fulfillment and balance in your lives. In addition, therapy can strengthen and heal intimate relationships by facilitating effective communication, conflict resolution, and emotional connection.

Treasure Therapy

Dr. Luttrell’s clinical work emphasizes the use of mindfulness-based and experiential psychotherapy models in working with individuals, couples, and families. He developed a proprietary form of psychotherapy called “Treasure Therapy,” which integrates components of other popular therapy models, such as Gestalt therapy or emotionally focused therapy (EFT). His unique approach sees the inherent dignity, beauty, and worth (the “treasure”) in all people and accepts you where you are. As a therapist, his five main objectives are to: ​

A therapy buddy is an innovative and empathetic approach to enhancing emotional well-being and personal growth. Rooted in the principles of companionship and emotional support, a therapy buddy is a trusted individual who provides a safe space for open communication, understanding, and self-discovery.

  1. Build a trusting, safe environment for you to talk.

  2. Raise awareness and insight about your problems.

  3. Create possible solutions together.

  4. Instill a sense of hope and peace.

  5. Identify your strengths and how you are adapting to challenges.

After each session, you will be asked to provide feedback and evaluate if these objectives were met.

  • 1. What is psychotherapy?
    Psychotherapy, also known as talk therapy or counseling, is a collaborative process between a trained therapist and an individual seeking support. It aims to explore thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and experiences to promote personal growth, emotional well-being, and address specific concerns. Psychotherapy encompasses various approaches, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, psychodynamic therapy, and humanistic therapy, tailored to meet the individual's needs.
  • 2. How long does psychotherapy last?
    The duration of psychotherapy varies depending on several factors, including the individual's goals, the complexity of their concerns, and their progress throughout the therapeutic process. Some individuals may benefit from short-term therapy, consisting of a few sessions or weeks, to address specific issues or provide immediate support. Long-term therapy may span several months or years, focusing on deeper exploration and ongoing personal development. The therapist and individual collaborate to determine the appropriate duration of therapy based on their unique circumstances.
  • 3. How do I find the right therapist for me?
    Finding the right therapist involves considering several factors. It's important to seek a licensed and qualified therapist with expertise in the specific concerns you want to address. You can ask for recommendations from trusted sources, such as healthcare professionals or friends who have had positive experiences with therapy. Online directories and therapist matching platforms can also help you find therapists in your area. Additionally, it's crucial to feel comfortable and have a good rapport with your therapist, so scheduling an initial consultation or phone call to assess the fit is recommended.
  • 4. Do you accept insurance?
    For mental health issues, we accept Blue Cross Blue Shield and affiliates (CareFirst, Anthem, BCBS Federal Employee Program, etc.) and Cigna or Evernorth. HOWEVER, please note that to qualify for insurance benefits, therapy must be related to a mental health diagnosis, like anxiety, depression, PTSD, etc., that has medical necessity. Most insurance plans do not cover relationship or sexual issues. Yes, it is sad considering that these are often the primary drivers for mental health issues. Please do not ask us to bill your insurance for relationship or sexual issues without first contacting your insurance company to check to see if your plan covers it. (We don't want to keep asking them.) Also, we cannot make up a diagnosis either, as this is insurance fraud and can cost us our license and result in serious penalties. Plus, insurance companies occasionally audit psychotherapy notes to ensure that treatment is related to the reported diagnosis. You can always choose to skip insurance and pay for therapy out of pocket. This will maximize your privacy and widen your pool of therapists. Thank you for your understanding.
  • 5. Is psychotherapy confidential?
    Confidentiality is a fundamental principle in psychotherapy. Therapists are legally and ethically bound to maintain the privacy and confidentiality of the information shared during therapy sessions. However, there are a few exceptions to confidentiality, such as when there is a risk of harm to oneself or others, child or elder abuse, or when a court order requires the disclosure of information. Your therapist should explain their confidentiality policy and any exceptions during the initial sessions.
