Frequently Asked Questions
What are your fees?
Individual psychotherapy sessions are $280. I periodically raise my fees. You will be notified well in advance of any changes.
If you’re seeking low-cost therapy options, you can find a list of resources here.
Do you accept insurance?
I am an out-of-network provider and can provide a superbill for you to submit to your insurance company. Many clients with out-of-network benefits receive partial reimbursement (often 50% or more), depending on their specific plan.
What is Good Faith Estimate?
A Good Faith Estimate (GFE) is a document that provides you with a clear breakdown of the expected costs of your therapy sessions. It is part of the No Surprises Act, designed to help clients better understand and plan for the financial aspects of their care. Learn more here.
Where do you offer therapy?
Sessions are held by secure, HIPAA-compliant phone or video.
What is your cancellation policy?
Your scheduled session time is reserved specifically for you, and the full fee is required whether or not you attend. Each client is allotted one courtesy cancellation per 52-week period for each weekly session they hold (e.g., clients in twice-weekly therapy receive two courtesy cancellations per year).
If you need to cancel, you are welcome to schedule a make-up session during the week before, the week of, or the week after your missed appointment, if our schedules align. I will make every effort to find a time that works.
I typically take the last week of each month for professional development and do not hold sessions that week. I also observe all U.S. holidays and encourage clients to take vacations and holidays therapy-free. You are never charged for sessions I cancel.
If you cancel your appointment, the session fee will be charged by the end of that day.
In our early sessions, we move at a steady pace to help you feel grounded and oriented in the work. We’ll begin with an initial assessment to understand your history, needs, and goals, and we’ll review confidentiality, privacy, and any practice policies so you know exactly what to expect. We also spend time helping your nervous system settle, so you can feel safe and supported as we begin the therapeutic process.
What can I expect in the first few sessions?
How long does therapy take?
The length of therapy varies from person to person. Research from the American Psychological Association (APA) shows that many clients begin experiencing meaningful improvement within 12–18 weekly sessions, especially for acute concerns. Some evidence-based models are designed for about 12–16 sessions, while others continue longer depending on your goals, history, and the depth of the work.
In practice, many clients choose to stay beyond the initial 3–4 months to support more complete healing, integrate new skills, or continue deeper emotional and mind–body work. We will check in together about your progress and adjust the pace as needed to support sustained growth.
Who do you work with?
I work with adults ages 21 and older.
Do you see children and or families?
I specialize in working with adults (21+) and do not see children or families. If you're seeking care for a young person or a family system, I’m always happy to recommend local resources that may be a better fit.
How do I book a consultation?
Note, a consultation is not a commitment to therapy. It’s a chance for us to see if we are a good fit. Just click here to schedule a free 15-minute phone consultation. We’ll talk briefly about what’s bringing you in and whether we’re a good fit to work together.
