What can I expect from the initial consultation?
The complimentary 30-minute consultation is an opportunity for us to speak briefly about what brings you to therapy and for you to ask any questions about my approach. It's a chance to sense whether there might be a good fit between us. There is no obligation to proceed following this conversation.
How long does therapy typically last?
Depth-oriented work is not brief therapy. While the timeline varies considerably depending on individual circumstances and goals, most people who undertake this work do so for one to several years. We will discuss expectations during our assessment period.
Do you work with insurance?
I maintain a private-pay practice and do not participate in insurance panels. I can provide a superbill that you may submit to your insurance company for possible out-of-network reimbursement. Many PPO plans provide partial coverage for psychotherapy.
What is your cancellation policy?
I ask for 48 hours notice for cancellations. Sessions cancelled with less notice are charged at the full rate. I recognize that emergencies occur and handle such situations with understanding on a case-by-case basis.
