FAQs

WHAT CAN I EXPECT FROM THERAPY?

Therapy is very individual to specific clients, but you can generally expect a discussion of relevant concerns, an exploration of factors in your life that are helping/hindering your progress, and assignment of relevant homework each meeting.

WHAT WILL THIS COST WITH INSURANCE/without insurance?

I bill through Alma, who will provide you with an estimate prior to our first meeting. It is ultimately the client’s responsibility to verify this cost with their insurer.

My self pay rate is $120 per 60 minute session (50 minute session+10 minutes documentation). If this is not affordable, please ask me about sliding scale or shorter appointment options.

HOW LONG DOES THERAPY LAST? HOW LONG WILL WE DO THIS?

This will depend on your specific concerns. Ideally, we will discuss the end of therapy when the concerns outlined on your treatment plan have been addressed and we have discussed a plan to maintain the progress made.

WHAT STAYS BETWEEN YOU AND I?

I am bound by law to maintain confidentiality unless the following applies:

  • Client threatens or attempts to commit suicide/severe harm to self

  • Client threatens grave bodily harm or death to another person.

  • Reasonable suspicion that a client or other named victim is the perpetrator, observer of, or actual victim of physical, emotional or sexual abuse of children under the age of 18 years.

  • Suspicions as stated above in the case of an elderly person who may be subjected to these abuses.

  • Suspected neglect of the parties named in items (3) and (4).

  • If a court of law issues a legitimate subpoena for information stated on the subpoena.

  • If a client is in therapy or being treated by order of a court of law, or if information is obtained for the purpose of rendering an expert’s report to an attorney.

  • A release of information form is on file

WHAT IF I NEED MEDICATION?

I do not prescribe medication but am happy to connect you with a psychiatric provider. I can also provide support with medication adherence.

DO YOU PROVIDE COUPLES/FAMILY COUNSELING?

I do not provide these services but am happy to connect you to a provider if needed.
