Therapy FAQs

Whether you’re starting therapy for the first time or have been in therapy before, you may be wondering about our policies and how we work.

 

Below are answers to some commonly asked questions:

I'd like to start. What is the process?

Please call or email to arrange a time to speak on the phone. After gathering some basic information about you, we will set up a time to meet. If we are unable to work together, we would be happy to refer you to another psychotherapist in order to ensure you get the appropriate care to serve your needs.

Is therapy covered by my health insurance?

Depending on what kind of health plan you have, you may be eligible for financial reimbursement towards your therapy bills. We are not currently an in-network provider for any insurance companies. If you have out-of-network mental health benefits, you may be able to submit claims to cover a large portion of your payment after you meet your deductible.  If you are unsure about what benefits you have, the best thing to do is to contact your insurance company directly.

What are your rates and how do I pay?

Rates for services are discussed during the initial phone consultation. Payment is accepted at the time of service by credit card. 

How often do we meet and for how long?

Sessions are typically scheduled in 45-minute blocks and often at the same time each week. However, the course of treatment is different for every person, and session length, frequency of appointments, and duration of treatment may vary according to need.

What is your cancellation policy?

If you do not show up for your scheduled therapy appointment, and you have not notified me within two business days, you will be required to pay the full cost of the session.
