LET’S GET STARTED

How To Know This Will Be A Fit For Me?

Let’s talk. A brief, 30 minute consultation at no charge is offered by phone, telehealth or in-person. This provides an opportunity to discuss what you are hoping to get from counseling, to learn about the counseling process and to answer your questions.

What Should I Expect?

In advance of the initial session, intake paperwork can be completed online. The first counseling session will be devoted to gathering information and discussing what brings you to counseling. From there, over the next couple of sessions, we will decide the best course of action and work together to create treatment goals.

How Often Should I Come to Counseling?

For individual counseling, weekly sessions are important at first. This allows the counseling to gain momentum. After a period of time, we may decide to reduce session frequency. This is, of course, something that will be an on-going conversation between us.

How Long Do Counseling Sessions Last?

The standard length of time for individual counseling sessions is 50 minutes.

How Long will Counseling Take?

This is a difficult question to answer since each client is a different, attends counseling for different reasons, and has different goals. Broadly speaking, you should devote at least 6 months to counseling sessions.

How Much Does Counseling Cost?

Sessions are billed at 60 min for $140.
If you choose private pay, there is a sliding scale option based on your financial need and ability to pay.

If you have out-of-network insurance coverage, I can provide you with a monthly super-bill (medical receipt) that can be submitted to your insurance company for reimbursement.

What If I Need to Cancel My Session?

Please cancel within 24 hours of your session to avoid an out-of-pocket fee. No shows and late cancellations are charged $60. Please note that your insurance does not pay for canceled sessions. With that said, life happens and there are emergencies that can’t be planned so there is flexibility on a limited basis.
