Frequently Asked Questions

• What are your fees and how do you work with insurance?  

  I charge $186.30 per 50 minute session. To account for the rising cost of living and the ongoing expenses associated with maintaining and improving my practice, there is a 3.5% annual fee increase, occurring every March 1st.

• If your insurance benefits include “out of network” mental health or behavioral health, you may be able to get reimbursed.  I am happy to provide you with paperwork (called a superbill) needed for you to submit to your insurance.  Please be aware that I am required to include a diagnosis in this paperwork.  

• What if I miss or need to cancel an appointment?  

  I understand that life can be unpredictable and things happen.  Please provide at least 24 hours if you are not able to attend any scheduled appointments and we can discuss cancelling or rescheduling.  If less than 24 hours notice is provided, the full fee will be charged for the session.  

• What happens in the first appointment?  

  The initial session is spent discussing more about what therapy is and going over some basic information and paperwork.  We will also talk about what you want to work on and what brings you to therapy.  You will not need to spend a lot of time completing paperwork during this first appointment, as you will receive all paperwork in advance.  Please make sure to complete and return all paperwork prior to your first appointment so that I have time to review and prepare.
