Therapy FAQs

What is your rate?

$300 per 45-minute session.

I accept payment via debit or credit card, HSA or FSA card at the time of each session.

Do you accept health insurance?

I do not accept insurance at this time. However, if you receive Out of Network (OON) benefits from your insurance coverage I can offer a receipt with appropriate details for you to request reimbursement from your insurance carrier if applicable. Please call your insurance and ask the following:

Do I have out of network benefits for mental health visits?

If so, what is my out of network deductible and has it been met?

How much will I be reimbursed for therapy sessions?

Do you offer a sliding scale?

Not at this time, but feel free to email me if you’re having trouble finding an affirming provider. I’m happy to contact my network to help you find a therapist with reduced fees/ sliding scale options.

What is your cancelation policy?

There is no charge for cancellations made at least 48 hours prior to the session. Cancellations made fewer than 48 hours beforehand may be charged the full fee.

How often will we have sessions?

Therapy is only effective when there is consistency, I recommend starting once a week.

How should I prepare for my first session with you?

You can feel free to prepare what you want to talk about, or you can just bring yourself in, and we can figure it out together. Generally, the first session is an opportunity for you to identify the goals that you want for therapy which will provide a framework for our sessions going forward.

How can you tell if I am benefiting from therapy?

Healing can look different for many people. You might notice yourself reflecting upon the work we do in your day-to-day life. You might notice changes in your thoughts or actions that no longer serve you. Sometimes you might notice yourself responding or reacting differently in situations that previously triggered you in different ways than they impact you now. It could be feeling more compassion or flexibility for yourself and the people around you.

Is there ever a time when you would encourage me to leave or graduate from therapy?

I would encourage you to leave therapy when the goals you’ve set have been met and you feel more confident in navigating your challenges. In my experience, an indicator of this is when a client comes in and only has positive things to report or they report a conflict or difficulty and follow up with a way in which they efficiently handled it. When that starts to happen consistently, I may bring up the possibility of termination, and we would explore that together.
