When can I meet with you?
Please contact me by email, phone, or through this website to see when I am available.
How long is a session?
Typically, individual sessions are 50 minutes long.
How often will I see you?
In the beginning, I prefer to meet with a new client weekly. If the client prefers, I am open to consider changing the frequency of our meetings to every other week or just once a month after some time. Every therapeutic process and journey is unique and it depends on the needs of the client.
How long do I need to be in therapy?
There is no set number of sessions that is recommended. Again, each client has different needs. My recommendation is to work with a trusted therapist until the symptoms, issues, or concerns that caused you to get help are significantly reduced or until you have more of a sense of well being in your life.
What forms of payment do you accept?
I accept cash, checks, and credit card payments.
Do you accept insurance payments?
I am a provider for some insurance companies. Please check with your insurance company to determine if I am a provider. If I am not a provider for your insurance, I am happy to give you a monthly invoice that you can submit for reimbursement. I also offer a sliding scale fee on a limited basis for those who need it to be able to afford therapy.
