Frequently Ask Questions

  • Book a consultation with me and we can arrange for a time to have a free 15 minute call. During that time, we will discuss your concerns and how we might work together in therapy. If we determine we are a good match to move forward in care, we can book a follow-up time for an initial appointment that works well with your schedule.

  • Following our phone consultation, the initial appointment will allow further opportunity to discuss your concerns and what brings you to therapy in more detail. We will also determine a focus of treatment that aligns with your goals and needs.

  • How often you are seen and for how long will be determined by your own unique situation and concerns. Often times clients start with weekly care and may reduce frequency of visits as they experience a reduction in the symptoms that brought them to therapy. I am here to support you in a plan of care that is tailored to your personal circumstances.

  • Our sessions are 50 minutes in length.

  • All counseling sessions are conducted via a secure and easy-to-use telehealth platform Established clients can also hold some sessions by telephone, if needed. I will be offering in-person sessions in the near future.

  • I am currently in network with Aetna and United Health Care. My cash fees are 175 per session. I am happy to accept flexible spending accounts (FSA) and health spending account (HSA) cards as well as provide receipts for reimbursement.

  • I require 24 hours notice of cancellation or you will be charged the full session fee. I am happy to try to arrange a different appointment time that same day if permitted in my schedule.

Good Faith Estimate

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your 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. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises
