Questions about what it’s like to work together?

Therapy is an individualized process. In the beginning, we will be getting to know each other. I will inquire about relationships, work, mood, strengths, challenges and your goals and intentions for being in therapy.

Together, we will collaborate on fostering a space of trust and safety that will support you on your healing journey.

Sessions may include the following:

• Traditional talk therapy: sharing information about yourself and past/present experiences. Examine past coping strategies and relational patterns.

• Participate in guided imagery and mindfulness practices (fostering awareness around noticing thoughts, emotions and body sensations)

• Learn coping skills/resources and practice self-compassion

• Dreamwork

I see the majority of my clients online for virtual telehealth therapy. On occasion, I make arrangements to meet with people in person. Please inquire and we can always discuss this option in more detail.

$175 for 50 minutes of individual therapy

$200 for 50 minutes of couples/family therapy

I offer a limited number of sliding scale spots based on one’s financial situation. Please inquire to see if I have any openings for reduced fee sessions.

Payment is due on the day of your session. I accept all major credit and debit cards as forms of payment. I request clients keep a card on file, which will be billed on the day of your session. If you want to pay by a different method, we can discuss options and I will let you know if I can accommodate.

No, I do not accept insurance. I am an Out-of-Network (OON) provider for insurance companies.

Upon request, I will provide you with a monthly Superbill for you to submit to your insurance for possible reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses.

Please contact your insurance provider directly for information regarding your eligibility and reimbursement rates.

Here are some questions you can ask your insurance provider:

1. Do I have out-of-network benefits?

2. What is my deductible?

3. At what percentage will I be reimbursed?

If you utilize this option, please be aware that a mental health diagnosis is required and will be listed on your Superbill.

Typically, I meet with clients weekly on the same day and time each week. On occasion, clients who have been in therapy for awhile may reduce to session frequency to every other week.

The first session of therapy is a “get to know you session” that can help you determine if you feel safe, comfortable, and engaged with me and the process. If you determine that we are not a good fit, I am happy to provide you with a list of referrals.

The duration of therapy varies for each individual. Each person brings unique circumstances, needs, and goals to therapy. It is influenced by factors such as the nature of your concerns, the depth of exploration desired, and the progress you make. Some clients find resolution in a few months, while others choose to continue for an extended period. The decision to conclude therapy or continue is collaborative and based on your evolving needs and goals.

Consistency enhances the effectiveness of therapy, and sometimes… life happens. Your weekly session time is dedicated and reserved for you. I have a 48-hour cancellation policy. I request that you give me at least 48 hours notice if you need to cancel or reschedule. Otherwise, you will be responsible for the fee. If clients are unable to attend a session and provide at least 48 hours notice, I will make an effort to find an alternative time within the same week; however, I am unable to guarantee a rescheduled session time.

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost. Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.

You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.

• Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.

• If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.

• Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
