Therapy Services

More than just “talk” therapy…

Jacquelyn Broadus, LLC specializes in providing trauma-focused therapy to children, adolescents, adults, and families. Treatment options include individual, caregiver/child, family, and group therapy sessions that can be in-person or virtually online through a HIPAA compliant website.

Therapy can be hard work, and it is an investment of time, money, and being. While there will be space to process current issues, Jacqui will have topics or activities prepared to assist in keeping treatment moving and on track. Treatment will include information gathering, assessment, and the creation of a plan that identifies goals and lays out steps to reach those goals. As every one is unique, each path to recovery will look a little different, and some seasons of treatment may need more or less time than others.

Treatment Approaches:

  • Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) is an evidence-based form of therapy that utilizes right/left or bilateral stimulation (BLS) to accelerate the brain’s ability to process and heal an upsetting memory, thought, or phobia. BLS can include directed eye movements, tapping, or auditory tones that signal the right and left sides of the brain to rebuild connections, get troubling memories unstuck, and help make meaning from the events. BLS stimulates the same eye movements that occur during Rapid Eye Movement (REM) or dream sleep. EMDR is not hypnosis. You are completely conscious and awake during the BLS process and will be adequately prepared before starting.

    EMDR is effective for the treatment of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, phobias, panic attacks, anxiety disorders, stress, sexual abuse, physical abuse, disturbing memories, challenging life events, complicated grief, crisis events, and chronic pain. EMDR can be adjusted to fit the needs of different ages.

    While some experience positive effects in just a few sessions, others may need more sessions, especially if there is complex trauma or more than one disturbing life event. For this reason, there is not a set range for the length of treatment as it varies upon what each individual needs. Sessions typically last from 60-90 minutes.

    Jacquelyn Broadus is certified in EMDR and a member of EMDRIA, an international association of EMDR practitioners.

  • Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavior Therapy (TF-CBT) is an evidence-based treatment for children and adolescents impacted by trauma. It includes parents or caregivers in the process as trauma is healed in safe relationships. As a components-based treatment model, it has distinctive steps that incorporates trauma-sensitive interventions with cognitive, behavioral, family, and humanistic principles and techniques.

    TF-CBT has proved successful with children and adolescents (ages 3 to 18) who have significant emotional problems (e.g., symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, fear, anxiety, or depression) related to traumatic life events. It can be used with children and adolescents who have experienced a single trauma or multiple traumas throughout their lives. TF-CBT can also be used to assist Youth with Problematic Sexual Behaviors (YPSB). Additional focus is given to safety and boundaries. Cases that include YPSB will be screened and assessed for appropriate level of care.

    A season of TF-CBT ranges from 12 to 45 sessions depending upon the complexity of the traumatic event, caregiver support/involvement, and treatment engagement.

    Jacquelyn Broadus is certified in TF-CBT and has specialization in working with YPSB.

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is an evidence-based form of psychotherapy that assists clients in challenging negative thoughts of self and the world in order to adjust overwhelming emotions and decrease unwanted behaviors. It is more goal-oriented and problem-focused to develop more effective ways of coping with life’s difficulties. It emphasizes the present over past events and traumas.

    CBT has been effective for a variety of problems including depression, anxiety disorders, alcohol and drug use problems, marital problems, eating disorders, and severe mental illness. Numerous research studies suggest that CBT leads to significant improvement in functioning and quality of life.

    CBT is generally short-term, ranging from 5 to 20 sessions.

    Jacquelyn Broadus is trained in CBT.

  • Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) is type of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy that is evidence-based and that uses strategies to help manage painful emotions and decrease conflict in relationships. “Dialectical” means an integration of opposites that include acceptance and change. It is a comprehensive approach that focuses on distress tolerance skills, emotional regulation, mindfulness, and relationship skills.

    While DBT was originally designed to treat those with suicidal, self-harm behaviors and borderline personality disorder, it has been adapted for other persistent mental health problems (like mood disorders, eating disorders, ADHD, and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) that impact safety, relationships, view of self, work, and emotional well-being.

    DBT typically includes individual sessions and involvement in a DBT group. Treatment length is recommended to span 12 months.

    Jacquelyn Broadus is trained in DBT and uses aspects of DBT in treatment.

  • Various expressive interventions can be added, adapted, and applied to evidence based models in order to meet a client’s needs and to reach treatment goals. Aspects of play therapy, sandtray therapy, expressive arts therapy, and Animal Assisted Interactions can be included in therapy sessions when appropriate.

    Jacquelyn Broadus has training in various expressive arts interventions and is a registered therapy animal team with Cody.

Fees for Therapy Services

Effective April 01, 2024

$200

initial orientation and intake

The first session is a time to get oriented with the therapy process and your rights as a client. It can range anywhere from 60 to 90 minutes. It is laid back and more about information gathering and giving. This is a time to get introduced to the process instead of diving into any deep therapy work. Information provided will be used to create a client file and begin to setup plans for assessment and treatment.

$160

55 minute therapy session

After the initial orientation and intake, therapy sessions typically last 55 minutes but may be shorter or longer depending on the flow of the session. Treatment needs will determine how often sessions are recommended to be scheduled, whether weekly or every other week.

$220

90 minute complex session

Some treatment models, like EMDR, or life situations, like crisis events, may require a longer session to get through deeper material and to make sure that you are ready to go about the rest of your day. These can be planned in advance.

The Payment Process

Jacquelyn Broadus, LLC is only in-network with Optum (a Behavioral Health component of United HealthCare). Clients covered by Optum will be responsible for any co-pays or deductibles as outlined in their policy. In turn, I will file service claims.

Jacquelyn Broadus, LLC is a Certified Non-Participating, Non-Network TRICARE East provider. This means that clients pay the full cash rate out-of-pocket at the time of service and that I do not file billing claims to TRICARE. Instead, I will provide a receipt at the end of the month called a superbill to the client that includes information about the services provided and who provided the services. The client in turn would submit that superbill along with a medical claim form to their TRICARE claims department. TRICARE would reimburse the client a percentage of the out-of-pocket expenses that would depend on the member’s TRICARE plan. It is important for the client to verify what is needed and what to expect by contacting TRICARE. Some plans require a special authorization before services can begin.

Outside of these options, Jacquelyn Broadus, LLC is a private pay service provider and is not in-network with insurance companies not listed above. This means that your insurance will not billed and that fees are the responsibility of the client and are due at time of service. If you do have insurance and pay out-of-pocket, you can consider the following options:

1) You can opt-out of using your insurance for services, and this would be indicated on your intake paperwork. With this option, you would make payments to Jacquelyn Broadus, LLC, and your insurance would not be involved in your season of therapy.

2) You can contact your insurance provider to ask about their out-of-network (OON) options. Many insurance companies can approve an OON provider like Jacquelyn Broadus, LLC for specialized therapy services especially if there is a lack of in-network professionals in the area who have availability. Once approved as an OON for your carrier, Jacqui would create a detailed receipt of your payments or “superbill” for you to submit to your insurance provider for the reimbursement rate outlined in your insurance policy. At this time, Medicaid/Medicare do not approve OON as they have their own internal network of providers, so this would not be an option for those with this coverage.

With either option, you will be provided with a “Good Faith Estimate” (GFE) of projected therapy service fees.

Jacquelyn Broadus, LLC uses IvyPay, a secure and HIPAA compliant app designed for debit/credit card payments for therapy services. A link to setup an account and enter a card would be sent via text message to your phone. IvyPay will then keep your card on file to bill future invoices. Jacquelyn Broadus, LLC will not have access to your card information. Any cash payments would receive an emailed receipt.
