Are you accepting new clients?

Yes, I currently have openings for both in-person and virtual sessions. I do not offer evening or weekend availability at this time. I offer a free 15-min phone consultation to determine if I am a good fit for your needs, and to answer any of your questions.

What can I expect from therapy?

I am often a good fit for individuals who are curious about themselves and want to further their understanding of who they are.

Our first 1-2 sessions are an opportunity to explore your goals for therapy, and for me to get a better understanding of your concerns. I will ask questions about your history in order to gather a fuller picture of the ways in which your concerns have impacted you.

At the end of our first session, we will discuss whether or not we want to work together. If you or I believe that you will be better served elsewhere, I will offer referrals to other therapists as well as any resources that might be supportive to you. I truly want you to find a therapist you connect with, so I will help in any way I can.

After our first few sessions, therapy will start with me inviting you to share whatever is on your mind. All of your thoughts, feelings, memories, and experiences are important, and there is nothing too big or small to discuss. The more freely and openly you can share, the better. I will offer support and ask questions if you find that you are getting stuck, or having difficulty with opening up.

How long are sessions and how frequently do we meet?

Each session is 50 minutes in length. At the start of therapy, I encourage all clients to attend on a weekly basis to support the building of trust and connection. However, I understand that this may not be realistic for everyone, and I am happy to consider what works best for you. As therapy progresses, frequency of sessions can be adjusted to your needs.

What is your cancellation policy?

Because your therapy time is reserved exclusively for you and is not easily filled at the last minute, I require 24-hours notice prior to cancelling, in order to avoid being charged the full session fee.

What are your rates? Do you accept insurance?

My rate is $150 per 50-minute session. I offer a limited number of sliding scale spots for clients who are committed to attending therapy weekly and who cannot afford my full rate. Please ask if this is your situation.

I do not accept insurance, but I can provide a superbill, (receipt with a diagnosis and service code), for you to submit to your insurance company for potential reimbursement. You may want to contact your insurance company ahead of time to confirm your out-of-network benefits and to ask about how to submit a superbill.

What is a good faith estimate?

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical and mental health 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 expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy services.  

You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare services, including psychotherapy services. You can ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a 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.
