The Safe State Counseling is a private-pay practice and does not currently accept insurance. Private pay gives you more control over your privacy and your care, since insurance companies often require clinical information, including a diagnosis, to process claims or determine coverage. However, we can provide you with a monthly superbill (itemized receipt) that you can submit to your insurance provider for potential out-of-network reimbursement, depending on your plan.

I am licensed in Texas as a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate (LPC Associate), License #103731. I have completed my master’s degree and the examinations required for Texas licensure. As an LPC Associate, I practice under supervision while completing the supervised clinical experience required by Texas. I provide therapy under the supervision of Casey Davids, M.Ed., LPC-S, Texas License #72570.

Supervision provides an ongoing space for professional consultation, clinical guidance, and continued growth as a therapist. I remain your therapist and the person you work with directly, while supervision provides an additional layer of clinical support behind the scenes. Your care, goals, and experience remain at the center of our work.
