How frequently do we meet?
Weekly therapy sessions are recommended at the start of our work together. Consistency allows for a dedicated space to build a therapeutic relationship and deepen the healing work effectively. Throughout the course of our work together, we can adjust the frequency if appropriate.
Do you offer flexible times, including evening and weekend appointments?
Yes, I offer a variety of days and times including weekend availability.
Do you accept insurance?
I do not accept insurance, and am considered an Out of Network provider. If you have a PPO insurance plan, you may receive reimbursement for my services depending on your out-of-network provider benefits. If you are seeking insurance reimbursement, I can provide monthly superbills for you to submit to your insurance provider. Please check your coverage carefully to see if you receive out-of-network benefits.
Are there benefits to paying out of pocket?
Paying out-of-pocket allows for more freedom, privacy, and independence, and keeps insurance out of the details of your therapeutic work. Insurance companies mandate a diagnosis, oversee your health records, and may request access to your personal health information while in therapy. By being out-of-network, I can work directly and privately with you which gives us greater flexibility and a higher level of confidentiality throughout our work.
Do you offer online therapy or telehealth?
Yes, I can provide online therapy through an online, secure video, HIPAA compliant conferencing platform.
