Appointments

My initial appointment with an individual or family is generally 75  minutes long, and is considered an "intake". I make sure to gather the poignant information and background information needed, as well as allow the client to get to know who I am. Appointments then after are usually 50-60 minutes in length. I attempt to start appointments on the hour. If an appointment begins a few minutes late, I will be sure the client receives a fifty minute session without encroaching on the next client's time. Normally sessions are weekly; however, dependent upon the need of the client, sessions can be scheduled more or less frequently.

Insurance & Fees

I am what's considered to be a 'private pay therapist'. This means that I do not file with insurance companies. I will be more than happy to provide you with a receipt including the necessary information for you to submit to your insurance provider for out of network reimbursement. You will have to contact your insurance company to find out what your benefits are. If you do choose to file on your own, please be aware that the insurance company may require me to disclose confidential information, as well as provide a diagnosis to have on file, which may potentially remain in your insurance file. Whether you decide to file for out of network reimbursement or not, I do require payment at time of service in the form of cash or personal check.

I have a sliding-scale fee schedule, and I work to make therapy an affordable process. Please contact me for fees.

Cancellations

I require notice of cancellation 24 hours in advance. I often have a waiting list and need time to contact waiting parties. 24 hour notice is the standard notification period in the profession. Half of my fee is required if notice is not received. There are exceptions for emergencies.
