Are there in person sessions and virtual sessions offered?

Yes, I am offering a hybrid approach of both in- person and virtual.

how does insurance coverage work?

I am considered an out of network provider but I am happy to help you navigate filing your initial claim with your insurance company. This looks different for each company and can be tricky. The fee is collected at the time of the appointment, and the claim is filed after.

wHY DO you not YOU ACCEPT INSURANCE?

Firstly, insurance companies can and do restrict the number of sessions a client has access to. I offer an approach based on data and need to offer access to sessions that meet the individual need of the client.

Secondly, confidentiality is compromised when using insurance. Insurance companies require providers to provide a diagnosis and can also request evaluations and session notes. What happens in session should be kept confidential between you and your therapist (me :) ) and whoever else you have signed releases for.

Lastly, the information obtained from insurance companies for ‘in-network’ therapy, can be used for determining premiums for your health insurance either now or in the future.

What are your fees?

My fees will vary depending on the level of care and partnership you are looking for. Please see below for some estimates:

• 15 min consultation: $25 to be applied at your first session if you choose to start work together and we are a good fit

• Initial intake for services: 220$- this includes any assessments that may need to take place and diagnostic evaluations

• Ongoing therapy sessions for individuals: $185

• Ongoing therapy sessions for couples or family systems: starting at $200 (dependent on system i.e family, couples/partnerships)

• 24/7 Coaching add on to sessions: is offered at no additional cost if you are a client

How often are sessions:

Session frequency is determined based on assessments and needs of the client. With that said, I am flexible on frequency of sessions. If every other week, or once a month are needed from the client, we can make that happen.

What are your cancellation and Privacy policies?

I require 48-hour notice prior to your scheduled appointment time to cancel an appointment. Unless this advance notice is provided, you will be charged the full fee for a missed or cancelled appointment.

I adhere to a strict confidentiality policy in which I will not disclose any of the information you provide to me unless I have your written permission. If you choose to sign a release of information, I am happy to contact and work with any medical providers on your behalf. There are a few exceptions in which I am mandated by the law to break confidentiality, which are explained in my professional disclosure statement.

Do you prescribe medication?

I do not prescribe medication but am willing to refer you to the appropriate medical provider if needed/appropriate.
