Our Therapy

Sessions are 60 minutes.  When working with children and teens, parents/guardians are involved in the session, typically at the start and end of each session.  This allows for communication of goals/treatment plan and practice of new skills learned in session.

We will decide this together.  Typically for solution-focused or cognitive behavioral therapy, 6-8 sessions are needed to build skills and problem solve present concerns.  We can also delve into deeper emotional or relational issues that may need longer term therapy to properly address.

We decide this together.  Upon first meeting, it works best to schedule weekly sessions in order to build report with one another.  Thereafter, we can set up bi-monthly sessions or even monthly sessions to maintain.

Initial phone consultation: FREE

50 Minute Session: $150

I am in-network with BCBS.  Rates when using your insurance will vary, based on your insurance plan.  I always recommend calling BCBS prior to your first session with me, to determine costs.

If you have an insurance plan not listed, you may receive reimbursement for my services depending on your out-of-network provider benefits.  Upon payment after each session, I can provide you with a bill which you can submit to your insurance for reimbursement.  Calling your insurance provider before starting counseling is always a good idea.  Below are questions you may consider asking:

*Do I have mental/behavioral health insurance benefits?

*What are my out-of-network provider benefits for mental/behavioral services?

*What is my deductible and has it been met?

*How many sessions per year does my health insurance cover?

*What is the coverage amount per therapy session?

*Is approval or pre-authorization required?

Yes, I provide telehealth sessions through a secure video conferencing platform in which I can bring my office to you.  Telehealth can be beneficial for those whose schedule does not allow for in-person meetings.

If, after your free 20 minute phone consultation, you decided that I may be a good fit for you or your child/teen, I will send you an email with a link to my online client portal in which you can access and sign my practice forms and consents electronically prior to our first visit.  Once all paperwork is complete, we will schedule your first appointment.

All forms and records are kept online in a secure EHR (electronic health record) system which gives you access to billing, payment records, and scheduling.  For those using their insurance for which I am an in-network provider, I file all insurance claims electronically through this EHR for you.  Telehealth sessions are also provided through the EHR.
