Frequently Asked Questions

I'm currently working on insurance credentialing. In the meantime, I provide superbills for out-of-network reimbursement. Many clients receive 50-80% reimbursement from their insurance companies. I can help you verify your out-of-network benefits.

Individual therapy is $150 per session, couples therapy is $200 per session, and career counseling is $125 per session. I also offer sliding scale rates for qualified clients experiencing financial hardship.

I accept credit cards, debit cards, HSA/FSA cards, and offer monthly package options. Payment is due at the time of service. I also provide superbills for insurance reimbursement.

Yes, I offer sliding scale rates for clients experiencing financial hardship. Please discuss this during your consultation or reach out to discuss your situation.

Standard therapy sessions are 50-60 minutes. Initial intake sessions are 60-90 minutes to allow time for comprehensive assessment and treatment planning.

Most clients attend weekly sessions initially. As progress is made, we may adjust to biweekly or monthly sessions. The frequency depends on your goals, needs, and preferences.

We require at least 48 business hours' notice to cancel or reschedule without penalty. Cancellations made within 48 business hours are charged the full session fee and count as a no-show toward your attendance record.

Any missed appointment or late cancellation (less than 48 business hours' notice) is recorded as a no-show. Two no-shows within a 12-month period will result in the loss of your recurring appointment slot and placement back on our waitlist.

Yes. Every client receives one courtesy exception per year. It waives the fee and the no-show record for that occurrence. It does not roll over.

You're welcome to rejoin the waitlist at any time. We'll reach out when an opening becomes available that fits your needs.

Please contact us before missing an appointment whenever possible. We'd rather problem-solve with you than lose you as a client.

Yes, I offer both in-person and telehealth sessions. In-person sessions are available for clients in my service areas. We can discuss location options during your consultation.

Yes, everything discussed in therapy is confidential with few exceptions: if you're at risk of harming yourself or others, if there's suspected child or elder abuse, or if records are subpoenaed by court order. I'll always discuss these limits clearly with you.

Yes, all services are fully HIPAA compliant. Client information is encrypted, stored securely, and never shared without your written consent (except in the legally required situations mentioned above).

I specialize in Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), and Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (C-PTSD), working with adults, couples, and families.

Treatment integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Existential Therapy, Psychoanalytic/Psychodynamic Therapy, Somatic-Informed Practice, and Internal Family Systems (IFS)-informed parts work, sequenced to the client's clinical presentation and goals.
