Getting to know Dr. Darlene Witcher
Greetings,
As a clinical psychologist with over 30 years of experience and a PhD in Clinical Psychology from Louisiana State University, I am prepared to help you address common psychological struggles. By guiding you to identify triggers and maladaptive behaviors, we can develop coping strategies to alleviate symptoms of anxiety and depression. If there are underlying trauma issues, I have extensive experience working with those situations as well. Additionally, I have helped many clients struggling with behavioral medicine issues such as weight management, poor sleep, smoking cessation, and substance use.
Once coping skills are in place to enhance functioning and help you feel a greater sense of control, we can explore your personal history and underlying factors that contribute to your difficulties, if desired. At regular intervals, we will evaluate your need and preference for ongoing therapy. Thus, treatment will be tailored for a limited problem-focused approach or an in-depth approach as warranted.
I believe that a collaborative effort in therapy leads to the best outcome. You may be asked to track thoughts and behaviors for review in the sessions. Completing homework assignments is an important component of treatment. I look forward to being with you on your wellness and recovery journey.
What should a new client know about working with you?
We will strive for you to have an improved feeling of well-being, a greater understanding of the nature of your struggles, enhanced coping skills, and better self-care habits.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
