A.  During your initial consultation, we'll discuss what brings you to therapy, what you hope to gain from it, and whether my experience and approach fit your needs.  If we decide to work together, the first few sessions will give us a better sense of whether we're a good therapeutic fit.

Q: How long are the appointments?

A.  Individual therapy sessions are typically 60 minutes.  Longer sessions may be available upon request and must be scheduled in advance.  Group therapy sessions are 90 minutes.

Q: How often will we meet?

A:  The frequency of therapy depends on your individual needs and goals.  I typically recommend meeting every other week, although weekly appointments may be appropriate.

Q: Do you accept insurance?

A: I currently accept Medical Mutual.   All other clients are self-pay.  If you have out-of-network benefits, I can provide a superbill that you may submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement.  Because coverage varies, I recommend contacting your insurance provider directly to learn about your benefits.  Copays and session fees are due at the time of service.

Q:  What is your cancellation policy?

A:  I understand that plans sometimes change.  Please provide at least 24 hours' notice if you need to cancel or reschedule and appointment.  Late cancellations and missed appointments may be subject to a fee.

Q: Do you prescribe medication?  

A:  No, as a therapist I do not prescribe medication.  If medication may be helpful, I can encourage you to speak with your primary care provider or a qualified psychiatric prescriber.

 Q.  Will I feel comfortable being myself in therapy?

A.  Yes.  My goal is to provide a welcoming, respectful space where you can speak openly and be your authentic self.  I value diversity and work with people of different backgrounds, identities, experiences and perspectives.  Discrimination, hateful behavior, and prejudice are never tolerated.
