About me

I'm Dr. Tricia Steeves, a licensed counseling psychologist with over a decade of experience working with adults. I believe change starts with insight. Before you can do things differently, you have to understand what's actually going on; why you respond the way you do, where those patterns came from, and what they're costing you. Awareness isn't the whole answer, but without it, most attempts at change don't stick.

Therapy with me is mostly an intentional, structured conversation. I can be a sounding board, a guide, or a collaborator — depending on what you need. I draw on evidence-based approaches, but use them as tools, not a program to follow.

You are the expert on you. I bring knowledge of psychology, an outside perspective, and a set of tools — and together we figure out what's getting in the way and what it might actually take to change it.

Services provided

I provide individual psychotherapy with adults dealing with a range of concerns, including:

  • Anxiety

  • Depression

  • ADHD

  • Life transitions — career changes, relationship shifts, identity questions

  • Relationship struggles

  • Recovery from traumatic experiences

  • Recovery from addictive behaviors (I can work from the 12-Step model and the Harm Reduction model).

I also have extensive experience working with veterans, active duty service members, and first responders. These communities face unique pressures — and unique barriers to asking for help. I understand that culture, and I take it seriously.

I work with adults in Nevada, Utah, Colorado, and New Hampshire, and across 40+ states through PSYPACT — all sessions are held online.

Fees & Insurance

Initial Intake (60 mins): $225
Ongoing Therapy (50 mins): $185

I offer private-pay sessions to clients in 43 states through PSYPACT, and I'm in-network with select insurance plans in Colorado, Nevada, New Hampshire, and Utah. Clients in those four states can choose either option. All sessions are held virtually through a secure, HIPAA-compliant platform.

Private pay keeps our work private — no diagnosis on your record, no session limits, and no outside party involved in your care. For people in fields where a mental health record could affect security clearances, licensing, or employment, this matters.

Using insurance makes therapy more financially accessible, though it does require a formal diagnosis and is subject to plan limitations on session type and frequency.

 FAQs

  • If I am considered out-of-network for your insurance plan, I will not be able to bill your insurance directly. However, I can provide you with a superbill — a detailed receipt that you can submit to your insurance company for potential reimbursement, depending on your specific plan.

    To better understand your benefits, I recommend contacting your insurance provider and asking the following questions:

    • Do I have out-of-network mental health benefits?

    • Is telehealth/virtual therapy covered?

    • What is my out-of-network deductible, and how much of it has been met?

    • What percentage of session costs will be reimbursed once my deductible is met?

    Keep in mind that using out-of-network benefits typically requires a formal mental health diagnosis and may involve meeting specific documentation requirements set by your insurance company.

  • This is entirely up to you. Many clients choose to pay out of pocket for various reasons, including:

    • Greater Privacy: Your therapy records are kept entirely between you and your therapist, without sharing information with insurance companies.

    • No Formal Diagnosis Required: Private pay clients are not required to meet criteria for a mental health diagnosis to access services.

    • More Flexibility: Therapy can be tailored to your goals and needs, not restricted by insurance definitions of "medical necessity."

    • Long-Term Growth Focus: We can work at a pace that fits your growth, rather than focusing only on symptom reduction or short-term treatment plans required by insurance.

    Whether you use insurance or opt for private pay, we can discuss what feels most aligned with your needs and goals.

  • PSYPACT is an agreement between participating states that allows licensed psychologists to provide teletherapy across state lines legally and ethically. If you are physically located in one of the 42 states that participate in PSYPACT, you can work with a PSYPACT- authorized psychologist, even if they live elsewhere.

  • No. PSYPACT sessions are private-pay only at this time. Contact your insurance providers for more information about out-of-network coverage.

  • A superbill is a specialized receipt that includes all the information your insurance company requires to process an out-of-network claim.

    If you choose this option, you would pay for sessions out-of-pocket and then submit the superbill to your insurance company for potential reimbursement.

    Please note that many insurance plans require you to meet an out-of-network deductible before any reimbursement is issued.

    To better understand your coverage, I recommend contacting your insurance provider and asking about your out-of-network benefits for behavioral health services.

  • I am 100% virtual and am unable to offer in person sessions at this time.

  • You can reach out through my contact form or email me directly to request an initial consultation. I’ll follow up to schedule a brief, 10-15 minute free phone call.

    If we decide to move forward, I’ll send intake paperwork through a secure online portal and we’ll schedule your first session from there.

  • I ask for at least 24 hours’ notice if you need to cancel or reschedule an appointment.

    I understand that life happens, and I’ll always do my best to be flexible when possible, but the following policy helps me hold space for all clients consistently and respectfully.

    First late cancellation is chalked up to “life happens.” No fee.

    Second late cancellation is a $50 fee.

    Any late cancellations afterward is a full session fee.

    Any no-call-no-show is a full session fee.

    Please note that insurance will not cover cancellations and no-shows.
