I’ve put together this FAQ with answers to common questions.
Please feel free to reach out to me if have any other questions about my practice at [email protected].
What should I expect for our initial consultation?
I’ll start by asking you to explain what is bringing you to therapy at this time and what you hope to accomplish. You’re welcome to come prepared with any questions you might want to clarify or any other information that you feel would be valuable to share before getting started. From my end, I’ll give you a brief summary of my therapeutic approach and values but ultimately hope that our conversation will give you a sense of how it will feel like to work with me. I encourage you to trust your gut for this part and take your time making a decision.
Is it normal to feel doubtful or unsure about starting therapy?
It can be difficult to overcome the indecision and doubt of starting therapy. You might be questioning if another person could actually help or if you’ll be able to trust them enough to open up.
I think it can start with saying “hello” and seeing where it takes you. You might find yourself surprised by what can happen after you take that first step.
Are you taking in-person appointments?
Yes, I’ve been back in the office on Fridays since October 2022. Looking forward to seeing everyone in-person again!
What are your fees?
My session rate is $185 for individual therapy and $225 for couples counseling.
I offer a sliding scale based on financial need.
Do you accept insurance?
I’m not on any insurance panels but will gladly furnish an invoice for you to submit to your insurance provider. Please confirm your out-of-network coverage with your insurance provider to see if you’re eligible for reimbursement.
How long can I expect therapy to last?
It’s largely dependent on your goals in treatment. Generally speaking, I would recommend six months as a timeline to assess your growth and progress. However, I routinely follow up on how therapy is going for you, especially during the early stages of our work.
Do you like your job?
This is my favorite question because I can always earnestly say how grateful I am for the practice and for all my past and present clients. Your resiliency and stories have deeply touched and inspired me.
