Frequently Asked Questions

What is Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)?

EMDR is an extensively researched, effective psychotherapy method proven to help people recover from trauma and other distressing life experiences.  EMDR therapy does not require talking in detail about the distressing issue.  EMDR supports the brain to resume its natural healing process.  EMDR therapy is designed to process traumatic memories in the brain, so the person is informed by these memories but not controlled by them.  Part of the therapy includes alternating eye movements, sounds, or taps.

What are somatic/embodiment interventions?

Somatic/embodiment interventions support clients calm their nervous system and release deeply rooted stress and tension that are not accessible through talk therapy alone. Such techniques include grounding, focusing on the here and now, mindfulness exercises, pendulation, titration, movement, resourcing, and breathwork.

Somatic Experiencing is a specific somatic approach to healing trauma and other stress disorders.  It is the life’s work of Peter Levine, PhD, resulting from his multidisciplinary study of stress physiology, ethology, biology, neuroscience, psychology, and indigenous healing practices, together with over 50 years of successful clinical application.  The SE approach releases traumatic shock and restores connection, which is key to transforming PTSD and the wounds of emotional and early developmental attachment trauma.  It offers a framework to assess where a person is “stuck” in the fight, flight, or freeze responses and providers clinical tools to resolve these fixated physiological states.

For additional information about healing through somatic interventions, we recommend reading Dr. Peter Levine’s book “Waking the Tiger” and “The Body Keeps Score” by Dr. Bessel van der Kolk.

What is Dialectical Behavior Therapy?

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a structured form of psychotherapy designed to help people manage intense emotions, improve relationships, and develop coping skills while balancing acceptance and change.  The term “dialectical” refers to the concept that two seemingly opposite things can both be true at the same time, such as accepting oneself and while working to change unhelpful behaviors.  DBT emphasizes mindfulness, acceptance, and behavioral change, helping individuals navigate emotionaly charged situations more effectively.

What if I want to work with you but you do not accept my insurance?

sIf Enso Holistic Health does not accept your insurance directly, your plan may have out-of-network (OON) benefits, which means your insurance will reimburse you for a large portion of our session cost.  If you have OON benefits, Enso Holistic Health has partnered with Thrizer to handle the out-of-network process automatically for you.  Thrizer will take care of submitting and managing claims for you so you will not have to worry about submitting superbills.  Once you meet your deductible, you also have the option to pay a reduced fee for our sessions, instead of needing to pay our full rate and waiting for a reimbursement check.  Please use the link below to check whether you have OON benefits and your expected fee post deductible.

A second option for reimbursement for our sessions would be through a Flexible Spending Account (FSA) that you may have the option to establish through your employer.  An FSA is an employer-sponsored tax-advantaged account that lets you set aside pre-tax money from your paycheck to pay for qualified expenses, including therapy, that are not covered through your insurance provider.  Contributions are deducted before federal, state, and Social Security taxes, which lowers your taxable income and increases your take-home pay.  Enso Holistic Health accepts most FSA debit cards for payment.

Another option would be applying for financing for our private pay sessions through CareCredit.  CareCredit is a healthcare-focused credit card that is designed to help you cover costs that insurance may not fully pay for, including co-pays, deductibles, and out-of-pocket wellness expenses.  Enso Holistic Health is a CareCredit enrolled provider.
