Frequently Asked Questions
Am I candidate for therapy
Sometimes the first step is the hardest; however, I will do all I can to ease this process for you. Addressing your mental health is just as important as any other physical health concern. Therapy is confidential and the treatment is tailored to your individual needs.
What are the next steps
The next step is to give the office a call or send an email. During our initial contact, we can briefly discuss your concerns.
If you reach my voicemail, please leave a message. I will call you back within 24-48 hours to schedule a consultation or appointment.
What to expect during my first appointment?
The first appointment will be an intake appointment and we will explore what brought you to therapy. This appointment will be 90 minutes and at that time, we will discuss the support you think you need and what I will be able to provide. The intake appointment is an opportunity to share your concerns and ask questions. Together we will establish goals for your treatment and determine how often you should come in for treatment (weekly or bi-weekly).
Rates and Payment Options
Insurance
I currently accept private insurance through Care First BCBS, Cigna, and United Healthcare. If I do not accept your insurance, I can provide you with a monthly statement, also known as a "superbill," for you to submit to your insurance provider for reimbursement. This monthly statement can be forwarded to your health savings account or flex spending account for reimbursement. Please check with your insurance provider for possible reimbursement for out-of-network providers or with your HSA or FSA custodian on payment for mental healthcare.
I understand that cost is one of the most significant barriers to mental health treatment. I have a limited number of income-based sliding-scale rates for clients.
