FAQs
Starting therapy can feel overwhelming.
Here are answers to common questions about Evidence-Based Counseling and LENS Neurofeedback in Washington, DC.
What can I expect in the first session?
Our first session is a time to get to know each other. We’ll explore what’s bringing you in, what you’re hoping for, and how we might work together. There's no pressure to "have it all figured out"—just come as you are.
What is Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP) and how can it help me?
ISTDP (Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy) is a powerful, emotion-focused therapy that helps uncover and resolve unconscious patterns that may be holding you back. Together, we gently explore how past experiences may be affecting your current emotional life, relationships, and physical wellbeing. The goal is lasting change – not just coping, but healing at the root.
Do you take insurance? What are your rates?
I currently offer private pay sessions and can provide superbills if you'd like to seek out-of-network reimbursement through your insurance. Often times neurofeedback is not a covered service.
Please reach out to discuss rates for neurofeedback as well as in person and virtual 50-minute therapy sessions. I hold a few spots for clients navigating financial challenges – let me know if cost is a concern. We can explore what might be possible together.
If you are seeking clinical supervision, send me a message at dianemillerlicsw@gmail.com and we can talk further.
What is neurofeedback and how does it work?
Neurofeedback is a non-invasive brain training method that helps regulate the nervous system. Using real-time feedback from brainwave activity, it supports greater calm, focus, and emotional resilience. It’s like going to the gym—but for your brain.
Is neurofeedback safe?
Yes. Neurofeedback is a safe, drug-free, and evidence-informed modality used by therapists and healthcare providers around the world. Most people find it relaxing and notice positive shifts over time.
Where are you located, and do you offer virtual sessions?
If you're in DC, Maryland, or Virginia, we can meet virtually through secure telehealth. Alternatively, and regardless of your home state residence, we can meet in person in my office in Brookland, Washington, DC. Neurofeedback sessions are offered entirely in person in Brookland, Washington, DC.
