Frequently asked questions.

How do I get started?

To get started, schedule a free 20-minute consultation with me. You can do so by selecting the “free 20-minute consultation” button on the home page. First, I’ll ask you questions about what brings you to therapy and what you hope to accomplish.  Next, we’ll establish whether or not we are a good “fit.” If we are, then we’ll move forward with scheduling an intake. If not, I’ll assist you with referrals for other providers to reach out to.

What services do you provide, and how?

I provide individual psychotherapy. At present, I’m only offering Telehealth services via phone or video.  Prior to our session, you will be provided with a link that will connect you to our session on a HIPAA-compliant platform.

Do you accept insurance?

I am not credentialed with any insurance companies and am what is considered an out-of-network provider.  I value my client’s confidentiality and cannot have this if I work with insurance companies where I have to provide a diagnosis as well as justification for treatment. I can provide you with a monthly superbill, which is a fancy receipt that I can give you after you’ve paid for your sessions. You provide that to your insurance company. In some cases, they will provide you with partial reimbursement for your sessions.  However, I cannot guarantee that your insurance company will reimburse you, nor can I submit the claim on your behalf.

What are your fees?

My Fees are as follows: Initial Individual 90-minute Intake: $400.  Individual 50-minute psychotherapy Session: $200. I do not offer sliding scale payments or reduced fees.

Will my employer be made aware that I’m in therapy? How about my spouse/significant other?

This is a concern that many clients express to me prior to engaging in therapy.  To get straight to the point, I cannot contact anyone in your life and let them know that you are in therapy without a signed consent from you.  In cases where I assess you to be a danger to yourself or others, emergency services will be contacted for your/their protection.

What is your cancellation policy?

I charge 24 hours prior to my client's session. I do this to secure services and resolve any payment issues before the session, should they arise. If a client needs to cancel, they must do so 24 hours before their session.  Should a client cancel within 24 hours or less, or "no show," they will be charged the full price of the session.
