Frequently Asked Questions
What type of clients do you see?
I primarily work with adults, ages 18 and over. Please see the therapy services page for more information about my approach, modalities, and specialities.
Are you flexible in your schedule?
I understand that schedules can shift quickly and am happy to accommodate schedule changes, however, I ask that you let me know at least 24 hours ahead. If you do not, you may be charged your full session fee.
Do you have evening/weekend hours?
At this time, I only have daytime, business-hours availability. This is subject to change over time and I encourage you to contact me directly is something that you will need.
How long does treatment last? Do I have to come every week?
The length and frequency of treatment varies for each individual and is influenced by a range of factors such as presenting concerns, ongoing stressors, emotional context, personal drive, and commitment. While most clients start with weekly sessions, I also offer bi-weekly and monthly appointments when determined clinically appropriate. The frequency and duration of therapy can be addressed during the initial phone consultation, once I have a more comprehensive understanding of your history and reasons for seeking therapy. Additionally, I prioritize transparency and collaborative decision-making by consistently updating clients on progress and discussing any adjustments to goals openly.
Do you prescribe medication?
As a psychologist, I do not prescribe medication. However, I have a network of trusted providers to refer you to.
What is a Good Faith Estimate?
You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical and mental health care will cost. Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy services.
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare services, including psychotherapy services. You can ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service.
If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call (800) 985-3059.
