What kind of client is most likely to benefit from your services?
The people who tend to benefit most from working with me are thoughtful, high-functioning adults who are ready to look honestly at themselves, strengthen their relationships, and make meaningful changes. They aren't looking for someone to simply listen. They're looking for insight, practical strategies, and lasting growth.
How many sessions will I need to attend? How often will I come?
After our first session, we'll decide together what makes the most sense for your goals. Some people come for short-term support around a specific issue, while others choose longer-term work to create deeper, lasting change. I'll make recommendations based on your needs, and we'll adjust as your goals evolve.
Do you accept my health insurance plan?
I am not a provider for private insurance carriers. I can provide you with an insurance-ready statement if you would like to file for reimbursement; however, I would like to discuss the implications of this so you are fully informed.
Why don’t you accept private health insurance?
I am intentionally an out-of-network provider because I believe it allows me to offer the highest level of care while protecting your privacy.
If an insurance claim is filed for your session, providers are required to give you a mental health diagnosis. In order for your insurance to cover charges for the session, your diagnosis must be considered “serious enough” to warrant therapy.
If an insurance claim is filed for your session, confidentiality is no longer guaranteed. I may be required to release session notes and other records to your insurance company. These then become a permanent part of your medical record.
Insurance companies usually pre-determine the number of sessions allowed to each client, regardless of the client’s needs or circumstances. I believe this is a decision to be made jointly by the client and clinician rather than by an employee of your insurance company who has never met you or me.
How do I pay for therapy sessions?
Sessions are automatically charged to your credit card on file through my practice management system. HSA and FSA cards are accepted.
How do I know if we're a good fit?
The best therapeutic relationships are built on trust, honesty, and mutual respect. If you're looking for someone who will challenge you thoughtfully, help you recognize patterns, and give you practical tools for change, we may work very well together. If I don't believe I'm the best person to help with your goals, I'll gladly recommend someone who is.
