Where is your office located?
Do you offer tele/video counseling?
What forms of payment do you accept?
Payments are due at the end of each session unless prior arrangements are made.
Do you accept insurance?
I am considered an “out-of-network” provider and do not directly accept insurance.
Utilizing insurance often comes with many barriers, such as declaring your mental health diagnosis, restrictions on number of sessions, release of health information, and more. I believe individuals have a right to control their health information and treatment process, which is why I have chosen this approach.
Depending on their plan, many clients receive reimbursement from their insurance providers. I can provide you with a “super bill” (pre-completed forms for you to send to your insurance company) for reimbursement.
Please make sure to call your insurance company before starting services and ask them if they provide reimbursement for mental health services.
Do you accept sliding-scale fees?
What is your cancellation policy?
I offer a 24-hour cancellation policy. Sessions missed or cancelled after 24 hours will be charged the full fee.
The only time this fee is waived is in the event of a serious or contagious illness or inclement weather.
What’s the deal with confidentiality?
Are you going to make me meditate?
Only if you want. Meditation and mindfulness are very popular, but not for everyone. Therapy is what you make it, and you get what you want out of it.
I may challenge you to try new things and expect you to be honest with me when something is way out of your comfort zone.
