Frequently Asked Questions
Who do you work with? I offer individual counseling to teenagers and adults of all genders. Sessions are held for individuals and may include loved ones for support. Each path toward healing is unique, and I don’t require specific issues to work together. As a non-emergency service, I do require clients to be beyond crisis and acute care.
How much does therapy cost? The cost of therapy depends on the frequency and duration of our time together. My rate is $150 per 50-minute session. This rate is carefully considered and reflective of my education, experience, training, and licensure. Payment is due at the time of service. I accept credit cards, debit cards, HSA cards, checks and cash payments.
How often do we meet? We will discuss your goals, including what feels like an appropriate amount of sessions. Most of my clients begin by seeing me weekly or biweekly. Therapy can be short-term or long-term, lasting weeks, months, or even years. You consent to each session, and I will celebrate your growth when our time comes to an end.
Do you accept insurance? I am not paneled with any insurance companies, though I can provide a superbill for clients to pursue “out-of-network” (OON) reimbursement. Out-of-network benefits vary depending on the provider and the plan. My recommendation is that you check in with your insurance provider—before beginning our therapeutic relationship—if you intend to seek reimbursement.
What is your cancellation policy? I require at least 48-hour notice to cancel an appointment without being charged for the session. My entire schedule is reserved, often weeks in advance. A session scheduled for one is a session made unavailable to another. Please let me know if scheduling challenges might compromise our time together.
Can I swear, curse, and/or really talk about anything? Yes. The basic ground of the therapeutic relationship is safety, and that includes confidentiality. So long as there is no life-threatening content, what you say in session stays in session. I want you to be your whole, real, and authentic self.
