Getting Started

How Do We Start

I offer a complimentary 20 minute phone or video consultation to see if we are a good fit. We’ll talk about your needs and goals as well as the ways I may be able to help you and, of course, answer any questions you may have. Reach out to schedule your free consultation.

Do You Take Insurance?

No, I am an out-of-network provider and I provide you with a monthly receipt or “superbill” to submit to your insurance company if you have out-of-network benefits. Generally, reimbursement can range from 50-90% after you meet your deductible.   It is a good idea to call your insurance company to verify if they offer coverage for mental health services and what the copay, deductible amounts, and reimbursement rates are so there are no surprises.

How Long Are Sessions? How Often Will We Meet?

During our first meeting, we will meet for 75 minutes (session code for insurance 90791) to begin the assessment process. We’ll talk in depth about your reasons for coming to therapy and begin to create our safe therapeutic space. Then we’ll meet weekly for 50 minutes (session code 90834). At the start of this process, it’s helpful to meet weekly while we continue to establish our relationship, begin to address the issues you wish to focus on, and work toward understanding and change. We’ll check in regularly to evaluate progress toward your goals and to assess whether we should change the frequency of our sessions.

Couples have a slightly different assessment process.

How Long Will I Be in Therapy?

Therapy is an individual and personalized process that is different for everyone. We’ll have consistent assessments to ensure that therapy is meeting your needs.
