Dr. Lindsay Bira's therapy and coaching specialties

THERAPY + COACHING

WEEKEND + EVENING APPOINTMENTS AVAILABLE

PTSD

Posttraumatic stress disorder can develop after a traumatic experience. I specialize in treating adults and children for trauma from accidents, deaths, sexual assaults, combat and more. I use what research shows works, and combine approaches as needed to get symptoms resolved as quickly as possible. I offer CPT, PE, EMDR & mindfulness-based therapy.

ANXIETY + MOOD

Anxiety and depression are the most common mental health symptoms. They may come out-of-the-blue or may be triggered by life events. Either way, I help you take steps to explore patterns, take back control, and get better. Includes: Panic attacks, OCD, social anxiety, guilt & worry, low self-esteem, depression, suicidal thoughts.

HEALTH + BODY

I treat insomnia, sleep issues, chronic pain, tinnitus, tic disorders (i.e., Tourette Syndrome), and sexual dysfunction. I also help with weight loss, smoking cessation, adjusting to medical conditions (e.g., HIV, cancer, renal disease, diabetes), and more. Cognitive behavioral therapy can be very effective for making change and adjusting.

IMPROVING LIFE

Along with treating mental health disorders, I help people improve their lives through coaching. Issues may include: navigating life events, career change, communication barriers, dating, stress management & more. How might you live better? Let's explore that and find a path that leads you there.

TEENS+YOUNG ADULTS

Teens and young adults deal with special issues related to social life, school, independence, self-esteem and college decisions. Developing skills to manage issues means life is smoother and parents worry less -- finding a healthy path to follow now leads to more open doors later.

VIDEO + IN-VIVO SESSIONS

VIDEO:

I have HIPAA-compliant video technology that allows me to meet with clients anywhere. No program or download is required -- just a simple sign-in to a very protected site from a device with a camera. It's the same care but from the comfort of your home or work space. This is available to particular clients with particular needs and I am happy to discuss the option. For coaching clients, Skype is available.

IN-VIVO:

I sometimes hold sessions in-vivo, or in the world outside the office. In-vivo treatment sessions are prescribed for certain treatment reasons and can be especially effective for anxiety-related disorders, such as phobias, PTSD and social anxiety. I join my client in the process of recovery beyond the therapy office.

Full Session (50 min.) .................................. $180

I am an out-of-network provider but most all clients can get partially reimbursed through their insurance -- I help you navigate that process. I also take Health Savings and Flex Spending Accounts (HSA/FSAs). I am not on insurance panels by choice to ensure that I am able to protect my patients' privacy and provide the best care. Insurance companies require a formal diagnosis to be recorded in their system, and they often restrict the number of treatment sessions, which does not align with research on what works and also discounts individual needs. My focus is on alleviating your symptoms in a way that is right for you.

I accept payment via cash, check, major credit cards, Paypal & Venmo.
