Our intake appointment includes a review of your history, your primary concerns, and what you’d like from therapy. Prior to our first appointment, you will complete an intake form and fill out some questionnaires to help guide the goals of treatment and to help get you where you want to be. We will review informed consent, including your rights to confidentiality, and I will answer any initial questions you may have.
-
Initially, I see clients once per week. Depending on your needs, we will likely continue sessions for a minimum of three months. We will continue to discuss your specific needs for ongoing therapy. Therapy looks different for each client.
If you would like accelerated and concentrated healing, intensives are a good option.
-
I am considered an out of network provider.
Prior to our first appointment, you will be required to have a credit card on file. You can also pay via FSA (flexible spending account), or HSA (health savings account).
I have partnered with a service called Thrizer for clients with PPO insurance plans. Thrizer submits the claim to your insurance company, and you are reimbursed via check or direct deposit depending on the reimbursement allowed by your plan. Please note, the reimbursement is provided to the plan subscriber. HMO plans do NOT allow for out of network reimbursement.
Please know that not all insurance plans offer reimbursement for out-of-network providers and some plans may have a deductible or an allowable amount. I recommend calling the customer service number on the back of your card and speak to a representative for details about your specific plan. -
Sessions are Monday through Thursday between 1pm and 5pm.
Intensives are offered on Saturdays.
