Here are some answers to common questions you may have about my practice. If you have other questions, please email me from this site or at: womackrp@gmail.com

​

Most people with whom I have worked are adolescents, adults of all ages, couples, and co-parents. As my career and practice develop further, I want to extend my work with younger clients (aged 12 and above) as well as those adults who care for them; such as young adults hoping for or planning a family; parents; teachers; child care workers, etc.

​

My fee structure is simple but unusual. You will determine your own fee. There are data and guidelines to assist with this determination on the Payment & Fees tab. Here everyone is welcome regardless of means. 

 

I always want to be able to say, “Yes, I am accepting new clients.” One or two new people are scheduled each week. Because there are often periods when I have more requests for initial sessions than people who attrition out, there may be a wait of a several weeks for the first appointment. I will always schedule you for the earliest possible time. I will also contact you if an earlier option becomes available. If you need earlier attention, check out this page on my website. 

 

I meet all persons through a private, encrypted telehealth video platform. This allows me to work with people from all parts of my home state of North Carolina and other states within the U.S. as well as those who currently reside beyond its borders. In situations where you do not have reliable internet service, or may be visually impaired, we can instead talk by phone. Though a phone call may be more convenient, the loss of visual communication is significant and video should be the first option if at all possible.

 

All sessions are held Monday through Friday. The first begins at 8:30 am and the latest for adults begins at 3:00 pm Eastern time. Sessions are 60 minutes in length. A 4:30 pm session is available for school age children (and teachers). {All 4:30 time slots are taken at this time.}

 

If you know you would like regular sessions, you are encouraged to plan ahead. Bi-weekly clients should plan five to eight sessions ahead depending on the flexibility and particularity of your schedules. Those wishing to come every three or four weeks should plan two or three sessions ahead.

 

My experience is grounded in the conversations held with many clients over a decade of private practice as a clinical mental health counselor. In February, 2022, I achieved 10,000 hours of service. In theory, this makes me an "expert," yet I approach each conversation with a beginner's mind. My clients have been my best teachers. My former counseling practice was grounded in the clinical research and modalities of Rogerian client-centered therapy, attachment theory, emotion-focused therapy, and interpersonal neurobiology. Much of my informal study since 2014 has been in the fields of history, economics, and social equality.
