WHAT ARE YOUR FEES?
If you are interested in my services, please contact me to discuss my rates. Payment is due at the time of service. I accept credit card, cash, and checks.
ARE SERVICES COVERED BY MY HEALTH INSURANCE?
I accept some commercial insurance. Please contact me to find out which ones.
I am also an out-of-network provider. This means that it is possible that my services may qualify for reimbursement. To determine if you are eligible for reimbursement, please call your insurance provider prior to our initial meeting and inquire about out-of-network mental health benefits.
DO YOU OFFER SLIDING SCALE RATES?
Yes. Please contact me to discuss fee modifications.
HOW DO I MAKE AN APPOINTMENT?
If you are interested in being seen for therapy, email or call to schedule a free 15 minute phone consultation. If I feel like a good fit, we can schedule an initial assessment at that time. During the initial intake appointment, important background information will be obtained and we will develop your goals for therapy.
WHAT HAPPENS IF I NEED TO CANCEL MY APPOINTMENT?
There is a 24 hour cancelation policy in place. If you should need to miss an appointment, you will be expected to provide notification at least 24 hours in advance. If you miss an appointment, or cancel in less than 24 hours, you will be charged the full fee for the session.
HOW LONG DO SESSIONS LAST?
The initial assessment appointment is about 60min. All follow up sessions are about 50min.
HOW LONG WILL I BE IN THERAPY?
People are in therapy for varying lengths of time, typically based upon the severity of symptoms and treatment goals. Some people only need short-term therapy, while others opt to engage in long-term therapy. Each person's experience with therapy is unique.
