Proven Path is built on a clear belief: therapy should be deliberate and effective. When treatment is structured, targeted, and grounded in proven methods, it addresses root causes rather than simply managing symptoms—and meaningful progress follows. This practice exists to provide a clear, results-driven path forward.

What Is Boutique Therapy?

Boutique therapy means you’ll work directly and exclusively with me—no hand-offs to associates, no assembly-line approach, and no rigid treatment models. I keep my caseload intentionally small so you receive focused, highly personalized care that actually moves you forward.

This approach allows:

• A deeper connection and trust that build over time

• Strategies tailored to your goals and adjusted as you grow

• Flexibility in session structure when life or schedules change

• Direct access to me for scheduling, billing, and feedback

Because I’m not constrained by corporate quotas or insurance demands, I’m able to prepare thoroughly, think strategically, and show up fully focused for every session.

Many of my clients have felt stuck in previous counseling. Sometimes their therapist kept circling the same issues without creating real momentum. Other times, the therapist avoided asking hard questions or challenging unhelpful patterns—fearing it might drive the client away. And in some cases, the counselor simply didn’t have the advanced training needed for complex issues like pornography and sex addiction, trauma, or deeply rooted anxiety.

The truth is, you can spend years—and far more money—on endless sessions that never get to the root of the problem. Focused, expert-level therapy helps you heal more directly and effectively, without keeping you in therapy forever.

My approach is different. You receive a unique blend of specialized clinical expertise and practical, real-world strategies designed to uncover and address the true drivers behind your struggles. This isn’t endless talk with no change—it’s deep, evidence-based work that leads to healing, growth, and lasting freedom.

Absolutely. We meet through a secure, HIPAA-compliant platform with clear video and audio—no clunky headsets or awkward angles. You’ll have a direct, unobstructed view of my expressions and posture, making sessions feel just as personal and focused as if we were in the same room.

For many high-functioning professionals, telehealth offers a more time-efficient and flexible way to stay consistent with therapy. Research consistently shows that online therapy is just as effective as in-person care, and many clients actually prefer it for the comfort, privacy, and convenience it provides. No commute, no waiting room—just expert guidance from the privacy of your own space.

No, not at this time. Because our practice serves clients across three states, in-person sessions aren’t logistically possible. Research consistently shows that virtual therapy is just as effective as in-person care, and many clients prefer it for the flexibility and privacy it provides. Still, we understand that everyone has different preferences, and we’re happy to discuss what would make therapy feel most comfortable for you.

Yes. In some cases, I offer therapy intensives for clients who want to do deeper, more focused work in a shorter period of time. Intensives may involve extended sessions or half-day or full-day formats, designed to build momentum and allow for concentrated work around specific issues—such as entrenched anxiety, trauma processing, pornography or sexual compulsivity, or major life transitions. They are not appropriate for every client and are offered selectively based on clinical fit, readiness, and goals. If an intensive format might be helpful for your situation, we can discuss whether it’s an appropriate option during a consultation.

Yes. While I’m best known for my work with men and boys, I also work with women. As a licensed clinical counselor, I can treat everything a generalist can—but with advanced, focused expertise in the areas where I’m most trusted. The same specialized, evidence-based methods apply—focused, effective, and tailored to each person’s goals.

No. My specialty is deep, one-on-one work with individuals. This focused approach often addresses the root issues affecting a relationship, making couples therapy unnecessary for many clients. When helpful, I can refer you to a trusted couples therapist, and in some cases, a spouse or partner may join a session by invitation.

No. My focus is on men, women, and teens who have the self-awareness and readiness for deeper, insight-driven work.

Not at all. I’m a dedicated, licensed clinical mental health counselor who offers faith integration only by request. While many of my clients are Christian, others come from different faiths or cultural backgrounds. I provide the same gold-standard, evidence-based, and ethical care to every client—your beliefs will never stand in the way of receiving expert, compassionate counseling.

No. Proven Path Counseling is an out-of-network, private-pay practice. Many clients choose this arrangement because it allows for greater privacy, flexibility, and depth of care.

That said, many insurance companies cover some or most of the cost of mental health care with an out-of-network provider. I provide a detailed invoice (“superbill”) that you may submit to your insurance carrier if your plan includes out-of-network mental health benefits. Coverage and reimbursement vary by plan and are determined solely by your insurer.

My practice is intentionally boutique, designed to provide focused, specialized treatment without the restrictions or documentation requirements imposed by insurance companies. This allows me to work directly for my clients’ goals—not an insurance company’s policies.

Therapy is an investment that can change your life and relationships for years to come. In this field, the saying “you get what you pay for” holds true—specialized, focused work produces deeper and longer-lasting results.

While it may be tempting to look for the lowest rate, the truth is you can spend far more in the long run working with a generalist who isn’t equipped to treat the specific issues you’re facing. Specialized therapy saves time, frustration, and emotional cost by targeting the root of the problem so you’re not stuck in therapy that never gets to the heart of what’s really going on. Working with an expert helps you create real, lasting change—so you don’t have to keep coming back or therapist shopping for the same struggles year after year

No. My practice is intentionally boutique and focused on deep, insight-driven therapy—not legal documentation or mandated services. I don’t provide court evaluations, reports, or custody-related counseling. My work is designed for clients seeking lasting personal growth and transformation, not compliance requirements. If you’re looking for mandated or court-related services, I’m happy to refer you to professionals who specialize in that type of work.

No. Ethical therapy never guarantees outcomes.

What I do guarantee is a focused, structured, evidence-based process delivered with expertise, accountability, and clear direction. Therapy outcomes depend on many factors—including effort, honesty, consistency, and life circumstances—and no responsible clinician promises identical results for every person.

That said, Proven Path Counseling was built specifically to move beyond passive, open-ended therapy. Men seek this work because it is intentional, specialized, and designed to address the deeper drivers beneath anxiety, unwanted behaviors, and chronic patterns—so progress is more likely to hold outside the therapy room.

I don’t promise quick fixes or universal outcomes. I offer a proven clinical approach, applied with care and precision, for men who are ready to engage in real work toward meaningful, lasting change.
