CONSULTATION & PSYCHOTHERAPY

Therapy begins with an evaluation of your needs. By the end of our first meeting, I will offer some initial impressions of what our work should include and a treatment plan to follow. The length of treatment varies depending on whether we choose to focus on a short-term goal or undertake a more open-ended journey. If we decide to work together, we’ll schedule once- or twice-weekly 45-minute sessions.

FEES & INSURANCE 

Please call or email to discuss my fee. I do not work directly with insurance companies, but if you have a PPO or another plan that allows you to select an out-of-network provider, you may be eligible for reimbursement. I assist with this process by directly submitting a copy of my statement to your insurance company. While you would be responsible for payment at the end of each month, this makes the reimbursement process go as smoothly as possible.

Policies vary significantly, and I recommend checking with your insurance company to determine the extent of your out-of-network mental health (or “behavioral health”) benefits, including your annual deductible, the number of sessions covered per calendar year, and whether or not your sessions need to be pre-authorized.
