Therapy at Brave Space
What is therapy like at Brave Space for Healing with Rhoni?
At Brave Space, therapy is rooted in warmth, curiosity, and genuine connection.
I strive to create a supportive space where you can slow down, feel seen, and explore your experiences with honesty and care. Together, we’ll make room for the emotions, relationships, old wounds, and protective patterns that have shaped how you understand yourself and move through the world.
Many of these patterns began as ways to survive. In therapy, we can meet them with compassion while gently noticing whether they still support the life you want now.
What We Might Explore
Trauma & Healing
Support for painful or overwhelming experiences, including sexual trauma, religious trauma, relational wounds, and the lasting impact of trauma on your sense of self, safety, and connection.
Relationships & Intimacy
Support for attachment wounds, communication struggles, intimacy concerns, sexuality, desire, and the patterns that shape how you connect with yourself and others.
Self-Understanding & Growth
Support for high sensitivity, shame, self-worth, identity exploration, emotional overwhelm, and reconnecting with yourself in more honest and meaningful ways.
A note about Sex Therapy & Sexual Healing
I offer sex therapy-informed support for individual clients. I do not currently provide couples, family, or polycule therapy.

Body image and confidence
Feeling more comfortable, connected, and present in your sexuality
Sex therapy can offer a supportive space to explore intimacy, desire, sexuality, body image, sexual shame, relationship patterns, and the impact of trauma, religion, culture, or past experiences on your sexual self.
While I am not currently a certified sex therapist, I am actively completing specialized sex therapy training through the Sexual Health Alliance and receive supervision/consultation to support this area of my work.
How Therapy Feels at Brave Space
Therapy is more than techniques or diagnoses. My hope is to create a space where you feel safe enough to become curious about your inner world, and experience meaningful change through relationship.
❤️ Relational
Healing happens in relationship. Together we'll build a space where you don't have to perform, hide, or have all the answers before you arrive.
🌿 Depth-Oriented
Rather than only reducing symptoms, we'll explore the emotions, beliefs, and protective patterns beneath them so healing can happen at a deeper level.
🛡 Trauma-Informed
Your nervous system matters. We'll move at a pace that feels safe, honoring the ways you've learned to survive while gently exploring new possibilities.
💜 Emotionally Focused
Emotions aren't problems to solve. They're meaningful sources of information that can help us better understand your needs, relationships, and experiences.
✨ Mindfulness
Sometimes the most important work begins by slowing down enough to notice what's happening inside with curiosity instead of judgment.
Every person is different, so I don't believe in forcing therapy into one model. Instead, I draw from several complementary approaches, choosing what feels most helpful for your goals, experiences, and pace.
The Approaches That Inform My Work
🌸 AEDP
A relational and experiential approach that helps transform emotional pain through healing experiences in therapy.
🌿 Attachment Theory
Understanding how early relationships shape current patterns, allowing new experiences to create lasting change.
💙 EFIT
An attachment-based approach that helps people understand emotions and create more secure relationships with themselves and others.
🌙 Sex Therapy
A supportive, shame-free space to explore intimacy, desire, sexuality, body image, pleasure, and relationships.
I may not be the best fit if you are primarily seeking quick fixes, direct advice, parenting coaching, crisis-only support, court-ordered treatment, psychological testing, medication management, or highly structured therapy centered on worksheets, homework, or skills training.
I may also not be the right fit if you prefer a rapid, highly conversational pace or want to focus only on recent events without exploring the emotions, patterns, or meanings connected to them. I tend to listen and speak at a slower, more reflective pace, and my work often includes pauses and time to notice what is happening beneath the surface.
If your needs fall outside my scope, or if a different setting would better support your care, I’ll do my best to point you toward referrals or next steps.

Services & Fees
Intake Appointment
Initial 55-minute virtual session
I start all potential new clients with a full intake appointment. We’ll talk about what’s bringing you to therapy, your goals, relevant history, current concerns, and what kind of support may be most helpful.
This appointment also gives us space to determine whether ongoing therapy together feels like a good fit for both of us. Scheduling an intake does not automatically mean that we will continue with regular sessions afterward.
Standard session rate applies.
Individual Therapy
Ongoing 55-minute virtual sessions
If we both agree to proceed with therapy after the intake, we will book ongoing sessions to help you slow down, reconnect with yourself, and focus on what matters most.
The work I offer is ongoing, intentional therapy rather than quick fixes, simple advice, or homework-heavy support. Sessions may include talking, slowing down, noticing what is happening in the moment, and gently exploring emotions, patterns, and parts of yourself with care.
Private-pay, insurance, and limited reduced-fee options are available.
Payment/Insurance
Private Pay, Insurance, and Reduced-Fee Options
I offer both private-pay and insurance-based therapy. My standard rate is $150 per 55-minute session, with payment due at the time of service for private-pay sessions.
Insurance coverage depends on your specific plan, network, benefits, and current availability. Coverage will be verified before services begin. A limited number of reduced-fee openings may also be available.
For clients using out-of-network benefits, I can provide a superbill upon request for possible reimbursement. Reimbursement is determined by your insurance plan and is not guaranteed.
We will clarify fees and insurance coverage before your first session.
Practice Transparency
I use a HIPAA-compliant AI documentation tool to support clinical note writing. I review and finalize all notes myself, and AI does not replace my clinical judgment, attention, or care. If you are not comfortable with AI-supported documentation, I may not be the best fit, and I’m happy to offer referrals or next steps.
