Appointments

I meet with individuals and couples at a minimum of once per week.  Sessions are 50 minutes in length and held at the same time each week.  This consistency is intended to help us get to know each other and to provide the opportunity to carefully explore and understand the concerns that bring you to therapy.  Many people find that attending therapy more than once per week significantly increases the benefits of the process.

In our first appointment we can discuss what's going on for you and what you hope to get out of therapy.  Once I have a sense of your needs, I'll share how I think therapy might help and will offer a recommendation about how we might proceed.  Often this is a recommendation for once or twice weekly therapy, and sometimes includes other treatments which might be helpful.
 

Fees, Scheduling, & Insurance

Please contact me for current fees and availability.  As an out-of-network insurance provider, I can provide you with a statement of services which you can submit to your insurance for reimbursement.  In this case, most insurance companies will reimburse you directly for treatment.  If you are interested in receiving reimbursement you may want to call your insurance company and ask the following questions:
          - Are out-of-network providers of mental health services covered?
          - If so, what amount or percentage of sessions are covered?
          - Is there a limit to the number of session that may be covered?
          - Is pre-authorization required?
          - What information do they require for reimbursement?
