Help Shouldn't Come With A Price Tag

Affordable Behavioral Health began with a simple observation: the rising cost of therapy keeps too many people from getting help when they need it most. We built our practice around removing that barrier, offering self-pay and sliding scale fee options so quality mental health care stays within reach. Financial circumstances shouldn't determine whether someone can access support, healing, and the chance to build a healthier life.

Meeting You Where You Are

We believe healing happens through connection, not diagnosis. Our practice is built around a safe, welcoming environment where clients are seen as people first, with care shaped around each individual's history, needs, and goals rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. Respect, understanding, and genuine collaboration guide every session, from your very first appointment onward.

A Practice Built For Every Stage Of Life

Our practice welcomes individuals, couples, families, and groups across every stage of life, from young children to older adults. We also work with social workers seeking a supervisor of record as they pursue licensure. Clients can meet with us virtually anywhere in Kentucky or Indiana, or in person at our West Point, Kentucky office.

Terri Phillips | Founder & Licensed Clinical Social Worker

Terri Phillips is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Kentucky and Indiana, and a transplant from Chicago who now calls West Point, Kentucky home. Over more than 16 years in practice, her work has spanned every stage of life, from early childhood through the geriatric years, giving her a wide-ranging understanding of how mental health needs shift across a lifetime.

Terri holds certifications in WRAP, SPARCS-I, Nurturing Parenting, Mindfulness-Based Substance Use Treatment for Adolescents, and Trauma-Informed Care, and she is an EMDRIA-trained EMDR therapist. She has also completed training in Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders, allowing her to support clients through the mental health challenges that can arise during and after pregnancy. Her approach draws from CBT, EMDR, narrative therapy, Motivational Interviewing, psychodynamic techniques, and play therapy, adjusted to fit each client rather than the other way around.

Terri has worked with individuals facing depression, anxiety, trauma, substance use, relationship issues, DCBS involvement, and a wide range of other life stressors. She takes a strengths-based, person-centered approach, meeting each client where they are and working together to build a plan toward their goals in a safe, accepting environment.

Approaches We Draw From

Every client is different, so we draw from a range of evidence-based therapeutic approaches rather than a single method. Here's a closer look at the modalities that shape how we work together.

EMDR ❧

A structured therapy using guided eye movements to help process and reduce distress from traumatic memories, often used for PTSD.

CBT ❧

A goal-oriented approach that helps identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors contributing to anxiety, depression, or other struggles.

Person-Centered Therapy ❧

An approach built on empathy and genuine acceptance, letting your own goals and pace guide the direction of care.

Psychodynamic Therapy ❧

Explores how past experiences and underlying patterns shape present emotions and behavior, often through open, reflective conversation.

Narrative Therapy ❧

Helps you re-examine and reshape the stories you tell about your life, separating your identity from the problems you're facing.

Motivational Interviewing ❧

A collaborative conversation style that strengthens your own motivation and commitment to change, especially useful for substance use concerns.

Internal Family Systems (IFS) ❧

Views the mind as made up of different parts, helping you understand and work with them toward greater inner balance.

Play Therapy ❧

Uses play as a natural way for children to process emotions and experiences they may not yet have words for.
