Frequently Asked Questions.
-
The consultation is for you and I to connect and see if we are a good fit for each other. You will be asked questions to understand your best hopes for therapy, which areas you would like to see growth in, and if you have had any previous experience with therapy. This is also a great time for you to ask any questions about the therapy process.
-
The number of sessions you would attend depends on your specific problem, your needs, how long the symptoms and/or the situation have been present, your support network, and other health concerns that may be additional stressors. I have some clients that see me for a handful of sessions, while others are with me for over a year.
-
Client can use insurance towards their sessions. Direct billing to insurance companies is not provided. You will be sent an invoice after the session has taken place which you can submit to your insurance provider for reimbursement. Please check to see if psychotherapy is covered in your insurance plan.
-
Minimum of 48 hours advance notice is required for cancellations. Cancellations 4-5 days in advance is strongly preferred as your session could be rescheduled for the same week depending on availability. Cancellations within a 24 hour time period and no-shows will be charged at full fee.
-
Most clients begin with weekly session, then move to biweekly, then monthly, and finally irregular appointments. This is typically what I have noticed, but this is not set in stone. Some clients have met with me twice in the same week.
