What can I expect from our consultation call?

I offer a free 20-minute consultation so we can get to know each other. You can share what brings you to therapy, ask questions, and see if my approach feels like a good fit. We’ll also discuss scheduling and logistics.

There’s no pressure to commit. If either of us feels another provider might be a better fit, I can offer referrals or resources.

What can I expect from therapy?

Everything shared in therapy is confidential, and I will review the limits of confidentiality in our first session. The first session focuses on getting acquainted and exploring your concerns and goals for therapy.

After that, sessions are guided by what feels most relevant in the moment. No topic is too big or small. The work unfolds naturally at a pace that feels comfortable for you.

How long are sessions and how often do we meet?

Sessions are 50 minutes. I recommend weekly sessions at the start to build trust and connection. Some clients transition to bi-weekly sessions as therapy progresses. Consistency is important, but we can adjust to your needs and preferences.

What is your cancellation policy?

I require 24 hours’ notice for cancellations to avoid being charged the full session fee. I understand emergencies happen and am flexible in those cases.

What are your rates? Do you accept insurance?

• Standard fee: $150 per session

I offer a sliding scale for clients with financial need. Please contact me to discuss what works for your situation. I am out-of-network and do not bill insurance directly. I can provide superbills for potential reimbursement if you have a PPO plan. I recommend you contact your insurance company ahead of time to confirm your benefits.

What questions should I ask my insurance company?

• Do I have out-of-network mental health coverage?

• Is telehealth covered?

• What is my deductible and how much remains?

• What reimbursement will I receive for CPT codes 90834 and 90837?

• How do I submit a superbill, and are there time limits?

What is a Good Faith Estimate?

You have the right to a Good Faith Estimate of expected costs for therapy services. If a bill exceeds the estimate by $400 or more, you can dispute it. Keep a copy for your records.
