"Are sessions conducted in person, Video, or Telephone?"
I am currently only offering video sessions via a HIPAA compliant platform. (This is an easy platform to use that is similar to Zoom. HIPAA compliant means that we can have a legally private and protected therapy session via the platform.)
"How do I start therapy with you?"
Contact me to schedule a free 15 minute introductory chat and we can determine if I would be a good fit for you as a therapist. If we move forward, then I will send you an email with links to fill out intake and consent forms, as well as schedule our first session. I will send you a link to our virtual appointment which will be held via a HIPAA compliant platform, similar to Zoom.
"What can I expect during the first session?"
The first session is an opportunity for us to meet virtually face-to-face! At this time, I will conduct a comprehensive assessment, which will take into account your personal history, present-day concerns, and what you might be hoping for in the therapeutic process. Together, we'll address any concerns or questions you have regarding therapy, and identify a plan to move forward. We can talk about what approach might be best for you. If, for any reason, at anytime (during our first session, or beyond), you and/or I don't believe that working together is the best fit for you, I will provide you with specific referrals based on the comprehensive assessment provided.
"How long will I be in therapy for?"
Depending on your needs and goals, we can determine together how long would be most helpful and beneficial to you.
"How often do I need to come in, and how long is an individual appointment?"
Usually, therapy is most powerful when it's conducted weekly. This is verified by research and my professional experience as a therapist. Occasionally, it may be appropriate to meet more or less often, depending on your needs. A standard individual session is 50 minutes long. Appointments are typically at the same day and time each week.
"What is the cost of each session?"
Depending on the type of therapy (individual, couple, or group), my rate is $150-220. You will be informed of the rate prior to commencing therapy with me.
"Do you accept insurance?"
I currently do not accept insurance.
"What forms of payment do you accept and when is payment due?"
I accept payment on the day of each session via Zelle, PayPal, Venmo, or credit/check card.
