Frequently Asked Questions

What are your fees?	My fees are based on specialized expertise and standard rates for doctoral-level clinicians. My rate starts at $250 per 50-minute session. I do not provide sliding scale or reduced rate services at present. The fee is due at the time of the session.
Do you take insurance?	I do not take insurance at this time. Most PPO insurance plans will provide some out-of-network reimbursement for therapy sessions, and I can provide a monthly statement that you can submit for reimbursement. This statement includes all the information needed to submit a claim to your insurance provider. Please speak to your insurance provider prior to scheduling a session to understand whether your plan provides for reimbursement, the amount that will be reimbursed, and what you will need to provide to receive reimbursement.
Where is your practice?	All sessions are conducted via telehealth using a HIPAA secure platform
How long does therapy take?	The length of therapy varies based on a number of factors, but across all types of concerns, research shows that, on average, 10-20 sessions of cognitive behavioral therapy may be sufficient to experience significant improvement and/or meet one’s treatment goals. Depending on the concerns being addressed, and the type of therapy being implemented, sometimes fewer sessions are needed, and sometimes more sessions are recommended. Some clients choose to continue treatment after experiencing initial improvement in order to maintain treatment gains.
What can I expect from therapy?	During your initial session, we will get to know one another. I will ask about your history and what you would like to work on in therapy. I will ask about many different areas of your life in order to better understand your experience and develop a treatment plan. You can ask me any questions you may have. After this assessment stage, if we decide together to move forward with treatment, we will collaboratively develop goals. Next, I will explain how treatment will look. Sessions after this often have a beginning, a middle, and an end: in the beginning of the session, you will check in about the previous week and any goals you set for the week, in the middle, you will implement skills and strategies pertaining to the topics you are working on, and in the end, you will wrap up and set goals for the upcoming week.
