Question 1

What are your fees?

Accepted Answer

My fee for therapy services are $140 per 50 minute session. I offer sliding scale pricing as well.

Question 2

Do you take insurance?

Accepted Answer

I am not currently in-network provider for insurance companies. This allows me to maintain smaller caseloads and provide focused, intentional, and up-to-date, evidenced-based treatment.  You are welcome to contact your individual insurance company to inquire about your out-of-network benefits. As an out-of-network provider, I have the flexibility to decide how much, if any, information is shared with your insurance company. I will be happy to provide you with a superbill or documentation to submit to your insurance company. In addition, you may do so directly through your insurance company. Advekit is also an out-of-network insurance claim-filing app that helps patients understand and use their out of network insurance coverage without having to work directly with their insurance companies.

Question 3

What happens if I cannot attend my scheduled appointment?

Accepted Answer

I am committed to your individual treatment goals and plan. When you schedule an appointment with me, I set aside time to provide you with quality care. Therefore, it is important that you contact me as soon as possible if you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment. This gives me time to schedule other clients who may be waiting for an appointment.  As a courtesy, I will send appointment reminders 24 hours in advance of your appointment time. I request that you give us at least 24 hours notice if you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment. If you do not do so within that time frame, then a fee will be charged to your card on file. This fee will also be applied for no show appointments.

Question 4

How soon will I see change?

Accepted Answer

Change is dependent on presenting problems and the therapeutic process. Parent involvement and consistent attendance are closely tied with progress.

Question 5

What if my teen is resistant?

Accepted Answer

Resistance is a built-in part of working with youth, as some are slower to warm up than others.  I will meet you and your child where you are at, and encourage parents/guardians to talk with their children about attending therapy prior to coming. See below for a brief letter to teens if you're unsure how to talk to them about attending therapy. Keep in mind that any relationship takes time, but one of my primary goals is to build trust and rapport from the outset.
