Insurance

I work with other insurance panels as an out of network provider, and will provide you a monthly statement with the necessary information to seek reimbursement from your insurance company. Many private plans do provide significant out-of-network benefits, which may reimburse you 50-100% of the cost of therapy. If your insurance doesn’t cover, reimburse, or fully reimburse out of network mental health, you may be able to use funds from a flexible spending account (FSA), health savings account (HSA), or health reimbursement account (HRA).

Initial phone consultation

I offer a free 15-minute consultation by phone or video call to briefly discuss what you are looking for and to make sure that I am a good fit for your preferences and goals. If it seems like we are a match, we’ll schedule our first full session, and I’ll send you an intake packet with full information about my practice and questionnaires for you to complete and return prior to our first session.

Sessions

Therapy sessions are about 50 minutes long unless we decide otherwise. I typically meet with clients weekly or bimonthly.

How long does therapy take?

The length depends on what brings you to therapy. Early on, we will work together to clearly identify your main concerns and goals. This will allow us to get a sense of how long treatment may take. I provide both short and long-term therapy depending on the need and preference.

What is your cancellation policy?

I have a 48 hour cancellation policy to avoid a charge. Whenever possible, I will try to find another time within the same week to reschedule the appointment.
