Starting out

  • Sessions range from 45-50 minutes. The first session being an assessment, can last up to 60 minutes. 

    Generally I meet with my clients once per week.  However, if symptoms are severe and we decide together that it is beneficial we can meet twice per week until we decide together that a once weekly appointment would be sufficient.

  • Our first session is a 60-minute assessment for us to get to know each other. We focus on what is happening in your life that is presently most difficult for you to cope with.

    You will also have a chance to get to know me and ask questions that you find important to your safety and growth in our collaboration.

  • Our conversations are protected and remain confidential as this is a standard health service (information is protected under HIPPA law). Any limits to confidentiality will be discussed at the time of our first visit.

    The remote-therapy video application we will use is also HIPAA-compliant and secure.

  • I accept payment through Zelle, cash, or check, or directly from your health insurance.

    I am covered in-network for: United Health, Aetna, Cigna, Molina, Fidelis, Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield. If your insurance is not listed here or you lack a mental health benefit, we can discuss affordable rates and the option of out-of-network benefits.

    Copays should be submitted before we meet each session.

Nitty gritties

  • One hour of time is set aside for your session.  I will be available for the remainder of the time we have scheduled together once you arrive but will not be able to meet beyond that window of time.

  • There is a 24 hour cancelation window.  If appointments are canceled within 24 hours, the individual will be responsible for the full fee of the office visit.  As insurance does not cover missed appointments, the individual will be billed out of pocket for this expense.

  • No, I don’t.  If we decide that medication is a needed adjunct to our work together we will discuss options for a medication assessment.
