On the first day of therapy, we go slow. We go over the initial paperwork and talk through some of my policies. After this, I start getting to know you. I also like to learn about what you want to change. Often people are concerned that therapy is telling you what you are “doing wrong” or need to change. I don’t work in that way. There is no room for judgement in the work that we do together.

This depends on the client. Some people like to do therapy for a few months at a time. When this is the case, I think 12 sessions is about the average length of care. Other clients will do intensive or weekly sessions for a period of time and then reach back out as needed. Others prefer to do sessions every couple of weeks.

While I am covered under Medicaid and Medicare, there are county specific behavioral health organizations that manage these benefits. I am not a participating member with each county. Let’s connect through email to see if I am covered under your plan.

As soon as you know, let me know. I get it, life happens. I offer a late cancel one-time freebie for each client for this reason. After the freebie, I need 24-hour notice so you can avoid the charge. I charge the full cost of your session.

My clients with Medicaid, do not get charged for cancellations as this is policy for Medicaid plans. However, after two late cancellations/no shows we will have a conversation exploring readiness for therapy.

As of January 2027, I will no longer be working directly with private insurance companies. However, you can explore using your Out-Of-Network (OON) benefits for our work together. If this applies to you, here are the steps:

1. Call your insurance company and see if they will reimburse you for OON therapy sessions. If they say yes, ask them what details they need from the provider to process these requests. They often have a form they can give you to pass along to me.

2. I will complete the necessary paperwork for you to get reimbursement.

3. You will pay me directly each session.

4. Insurance will reimburse you partially for the cost of your therapy sessions.
