Individual therapy offers a dedicated space to slow down, reflect, and begin healing the deeper wounds that shape how you show up in the world. You might be feeling overwhelmed, emotionally stuck, or caught in patterns that no longer serve you. You may carry the weight of early experiences that taught you to suppress your needs, minimize your feelings, or prioritize others at the expense of yourself.
At BattleRobin Counseling, we specialize in helping people heal from experiences, like trauma and toxic stress, that leaves you questioning your worth, struggling to trust, or unsure how to feel safe in closeness. Therapy is a place to understand how those early relationships, past hurts, and formative experiences continue to echo through your emotions, relationships, and sense of identity. Together, we’ll work to untangle those patterns and create space for something new: self-trust, clarity, and more meaningful connection.
What Therapy with Me Looks Like
Our individual therapy work is grounded in psychodynamic, narrative, and interpersonal approaches, enriched by multicultural and liberation-focused perspectives. This means our work will be collaborative, depth-oriented, and rooted in the belief that healing is not just internal, but also relational and cultural.
In our sessions, we may:
- Gently explore painful or complex emotions, especially those you’ve had to hide, avoid, or carry alone
- Identify relational patterns that keep you stuck, and practice new ways of connecting
- Examine how early experiences shaped your self-concept, values, and emotional responses
- Reflect on how systems of oppression, marginalization, and cultural messaging have impacted your story
- Use our relationship as a space to experience safety, authenticity, and trust, especially if that’s been hard to find elsewhere
- Practice self-compassion, emotional regulation, and boundaries that support your healing and growth
We don’t offer one-size-fits-all strategies or surface-level solutions. Instead, we meet you with warmth, curiosity, and respect for the full context of your life, your inner world, your relationships, your culture, and your community. Therapy with us is active, relational, and attuned to both the personal and the systemic.
Clinical Alchemy – Spiritually Integrative Care
Our Clinical Alchemy program is a spiritually integrative approach to individual therapy that weaves together evidence-based psychotherapy with clients’ own spiritual beliefs and practices. In addition to being a licensed clinical psychologist, Dr. Battles is also a certified Reiki practitioner, Reiki Master-in-training, and tarot expert and teacher. This program honors the whole self, mind, body, spirit, and community. Depending on each client’s preferences and traditions, we may integrate ritual, meditation, tarot, Reiki, or other forms of energy work into the therapeutic process. Our goal is to support healing and transformation through an approach that balances scientific knowledge with spiritual wisdom, creating space for deeper alignment and empowerment.
Cultural and Social Justice Commitment
We center cultural humility and a commitment to social justice. We integrate multicultural and liberation-focused frameworks. This supports healing that is not only personal, but also collective and culturally responsive. We place a high value on understanding how individual differences, multicultural and systemic concerns, and the intersectionality of identities all play into one’s overall mental health, as well as each person’s sense of identity. Much of Dr. Battles’ training and continued education is focused on understanding her power, privilege, and positionality. We aim to comprehend how these factors affect our work with you. We encourage and welcome these dialogues into our sessions, as we see them as pivotal to deeper healing.

Insurance
BattleRobin Counseling contracts with an external clinic, for which we accept Aetna for individual therapy services and some groups (D&D group therapy not included). We are otherwise “out-of-network” and accept private pay. We do accept Health Savings Plans and Loveland Foundation vouchers. Please contact us for more details.
For out-of-network clients, we are happy to provide a “superbill” for those seeking independent reimbursement. A superbill serves as a coded invoice for your insurance provider. This helps you get part (or sometimes all) of this fee reimbursed. This can be confusing, so if you need assistance we are happy to check these benefits on your behalf.
Good Faith Estimate
Under the law as of January 1, 2022, health care providers are required to provide those who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy services. You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your mental health care will cost. You may ask me for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule your service. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call (800) 985-3059.
- Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services, such as psychotherapy services.
- You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees. You have a right to this when you appointment is scheduled three or more days in advance, and you will not be using insurance to pay for the visit (or you do not have insurance). You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.
- If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. This must be done within 120 calendar days of receiving the bill.
- Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
- Please note that you are not required to go “out of network” or “private pay” for psychotherapy services. You are at free will to choose a provider who is “in network” with your insurance company.
For more information on your right to a Good Faith Estimate, please visit www.CMS.gov/NoSurprises, or call 800-368-1019 with any questions.
