Getting to know Cadara Parks
Hello, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Registered Play Therapist. I served 22 years in the US Army and deployed 3 times. I have a therapy dog, Apex who will be 2 years old in November, two Savanah cats and 3 sugar gliders (flying squirrels). I was born in Lexington, Ky, got my undergraduate at Eastern Kentucky University and my MA at North Alabama University.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
During the first session we will go over the intake forms, talk about expectations from each other and what you would like to get from therapy. I will ask questions to ensure I am able to design a treatment tailored to your individual needs.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
What makes me unique? I have served in the military for 22 years while raising children, moving multiple times, 3 deployments, and served in Germany from 1999-2008. I understand what many other therapist do not about the effects deployments can have on the spouse, children and family as a whole. I also understand from how deployments affects the service member. My main therapeutic approach is Reality Therapy because now is most revenant to the present. If needed, as therapy progresses, we may explore childhood or other periods of life that are relevant to the situation. By adapting your treatment plan to your situation, it will flow as your progress increases.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I have clients from pre-birth (pregnant mothers and their unborn babies) through senior life. I specialize in grief therapy with children and their families, has well as assist with parenting questions that many foster parents have as to how to handle certain behaviors in the children that stay with them.

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.
