This is due at the beginning of each therapy session; credit/debit cards are accepted. I am offering telehealth care in order to best serve all clients across the Nebraska area and increase convenience for their busy schedules. I am an out of network cash pay provider which has many large benefits for my clients.

After years of billing insurance, working in hospitals, and watching administration view patients as dollar signs I wanted to create a place where I could put my clients first. Private pay counseling allows me to skip the insurance companies. No more stigmatizing mental health diagnosis - you can keep your personal life private and confidential. No more increases in insurance premiums. No more hidden fees or deductibles. In fact, if you have a high deductible plan, private pay might be a similar price. No more claim denials because the care is not “medically necessary.” You decide what is necessary for your wellness. Being cash pay allows me to keep fewer clients and deeply focus on your needs . Skip the waitlist with private pay therapy! The Benefit of Having a Therapist with Fewer Clients Let me ask you a question. Would you prefer to be operated upon by a surgeon who has time, energy, new knowledge, and freedom? Or would your prefer a surgeon who is overworked and constricted? It’s a no brainer. What about receiving care from a doctor who hasn’t slept, exercised, or taken a vacation? No, it doesn’t sound ideal to me either. This sounds like a provider who cannot fully hear or treat me, even if they have the skills to do so. This concept applies directly to mental health services. Accepting insurance or working in hospital systems can prevent therapists from focusing clients. We have less time for clients and more administrative burden. Many of us are compensated much less than our billing amount which forces us to book unsafe numbers of patients. We are required to use documentation and sometimes treatments that do not match our patient concerns, and we spend large amounts of time justifying diagnoses and billing to insurance companies. This creates a situation where we spend more time in the day managing administrative tasks than caring for our clients. I have lived this reality, and something is wrong with this picture. I became a psychologist to offer my clients freedom and knowledge and I’ve opened this practice because I know there is a better way for both clients and therapists. Consider this alternative. Let’s say you choose private pay as a client. Your provider has the time they need to fully address your concerns. This includes creating a list of questions tailored to you, preparing for session through scientific literature review, reviewing evidence based therapy practices, creating an arsenal of practice skills, finding books/handouts/meditations, performing the session itself, and documenting this interaction. Your therapist has more availability so wait times are reduced. Your therapist can “practice what they preach” and authentically live the psychological wellness skills they impart. Not to mention cutting out the middleman of insurance helps to increase client privacy. Sound better? Yes, it does to me too.

My name is Dr. George and I am a clinical psychologist who provides online therapy and counseling services to individuals and couples throughout the Omaha and greater Nebraska area. My practice is best described as authentic, transparent, and “salt of the earth.” I am open, honest, and use team work to help build trust with you from the first therapy session. I work best with clients who are motivated to grow, those with a sense of humor, and people who appreciate a clear goal-oriented approach. I use a combination cognitive therapy and mindfulness counseling skills to help clients see relief. Feel free to look through my website under “evidence based therapy” for a description of the treatments I offer. My Therapeutic Background I have a strong background in research which helps me to be stay informed about cutting edge mental health treatments. I completed my Bachelor’s of Science in Brain Behavior and Cognitive Science at the University of Michigan. After that I earned my PhD in Clinical Psychology from the University of Missouri St. Louis. I then completed a one year internship and one year residency at the St. Louis Veteran’s Affairs Medical Center. I have specialized training in health psychology, trauma treatment, perfectionism, women’s health (perinatal and postpartum depression), and mood issues like depression and anxiety. I have extensive experience working in medical facilities and ten years of experience in treating clients. My PhD makes me a bit different than many therapists and counselors. I have additional years of training, I have personally designed successful online treatments for mental health conditions, and I know how to interpret the latest science on counseling, therapy, and clinical practice. If you come to psychotherapy in my practice I will lend you the mind of a scientist and the heart of a healer.
