At ALIRA Pathways, we offer individual and couples counseling—including but not limited to trauma recovery, grief, relational distress, identity challenges, and navigating major life transitions.

As a private pay practice, we do not accept insurance directly and are considered “out of network” with all insurance providers. However, we strive to make the financial process as seamless as possible by utilizing an online payment system and accepting payments from Health Savings Accounts (HSA). We can provide clients with a superbill for sessions, which may be submitted to insurance companies for potential reimbursement. Clients are solely responsible for filing any reimbursement claims with their insurance provider. ALIRA Pathways cannot guarantee any coverage or reimbursement from your insurance.

Sessions with Gina typically last 90 to 120 minutes, and she usually meets with clients every other week. She finds that this structure allows for more intensive work in each session. The number of sessions depends on the individual or couple's goals and needs. Some clients benefit from short-term work, while others may need longer-term support, especially when addressing complex trauma or relational issues. Gina’s hourly rate is $120, so 90 minute sessions are $180 and 120 minute sessions are $240.

While Gina personally integrates Christian principles such as grace, faith, and healing into her work, she honors and respects all faiths regardless of her personal beliefs. Gina’s approach is rooted in unconditional love, acceptance, and a deep belief in the healing power of emotional connection. She strives to create a space for clients to explore their spiritual journey (if they choose) and work through their challenges in alignment with their own beliefs or values.

Intimacy Therapy, developed by Dr. David Ferguson, is a biblically-based, clinically-sound counseling model that emphasizes the importance of close, caring relationships with God and others for a fulfilling life.

By integrating spiritual principles with therapeutic techniques, Intimacy Therapy helps clients build deeper emotional, spiritual, and relational connections.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a trauma-informed therapy designed to help individuals process and heal from distressing memories. It helps rewire how these memories are stored in the brain, reducing their emotional charge and helping individuals move forward with greater peace and clarity. It’s a powerful tool for addressing trauma, anxiety, and past emotional wounds.
