At Tella Psychology, you’re at the center of everything we do. We understand that starting therapy can feel intimidating, and, at times, confusing. That’s why we’re committed to being transparent with you every step of the way.

We understand how past experiences can impact your mental health. At the same time, we focus on achieving real results in the here-and-now, so you can make meaningful changes in your daily life. Our approach is designed to be both supportive and empowering, helping you feel safe while making progress. Our psychologists are trained in evidence-based therapies like eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), internal family systems (IFS), and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). We’ll teach you practical tools that you can start using right away, and we’ll track your progress to ensure that your treatment is effective, adjusting your plan as needed to support you. At the same time, we understand that healing can take time, and we’ll never rush you through the process.

  • The number of therapy sessions varies based on factors such as the specific goals you want to achieve, the severity of your symptoms, and the type of therapy we use. While it's difficult to give an exact number upfront, here’s a general idea based on our experience with evidence-based approaches:

    • For anxiety and depression, clients typically see significant improvements within 12 to 20 sessions using therapies like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) or EMDR. Some clients experience relief sooner, while others may benefit from continued support over a longer period. If your anxiety or depression is in thesevere range, you may require more than 20 sessions to fully recover from the diagnosis.

    • For trauma, the number of sessions can vary more widely. For single-event traumas, therapies like EMDR or Trauma-Focused CBT may help in 6 to 12 sessions, while more complex or long-term trauma may require 20 or more sessions.

    • For insomnia, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) is often effective in 5 to 8 sessions, helping you develop healthier sleep habits and manage the factors contributing to sleep difficulties.

    Every person's journey is unique, and we tailor the treatment plan to your specific needs. We’ll regularly review your progress to ensure that therapy is working and adjust the plan as needed to support your healing. You’re always in control of your therapy, and we’ll work at a pace that feels right for you.

  • We offer free consultations by phone or video chat. If you prefer to meet in person, Dr. Klement offers in-person initial evaluation and follow up appointments in North Dallas.

  • Sessions are typically 50 minutes long, but we also offer extended sessions depending on your needs. We can discuss what works best for you during the consultation.

  • The frequency of sessions will depend on your individual needs and goals. Some clients come weekly, while others may come bi-weekly. After you initial visit, we’ll recommend a schedule that fits your treatment plan.

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost.

Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.

You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.
