Question 1

What should I expect from therapy?

Accepted Answer

Sessions are 1-hour sessions (90 minutes for couples) and depending on your needs can be twice a week, weekly, or bi-weekly based on what we determine is the appropriate level of care. The duration of therapy will be determined by your needs and goals as identified by you and me collectively.

Question 2

How does virtual therapy work?

Accepted Answer

For virtual therapy to work smoothly, you will need, at minimum: 
•	A computer and/or smartphone. 
•	A reliable internet connection. 
•	An email address you check regularly. 
•	A free HIPAA-secure mobile app (I will send you a link for this). 
•	The willingness to access communications and materials online. 
•	The willingness to either use secure sign-on methods or sign a waiver to use unsecured methods. 
•	The willingness to remit payment online through secure applications.

I also offer virtual therapy by phone. Phone sessions fees are the same as those for video sessions.

Question 3

What are your fees?

Accepted Answer

Payment is due upon booking your initial session. 
Therapy Sessions for Individuals: $145/60 minutes
Therapy Sessions for Couples: $225/90 minutes

At this time, I am in network with Optum, Cigna, Aetna, Oscar Health, Oxford, and Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield.

For my out of network clients, I work with Mentaya, a platform that helps clients get money back on out-of-network therapy sessions. If you have out-of-network benefits, Mentaya will file claims and handle the insurance paperwork to make sure you get reimbursed. They charge a 5% fee per claim and have helped people get thousands of dollars back per year.

In an effort to make therapy affordable for more people, I reserve some of my time for people with lower household incomes and I charge reduced fees for those clients. If you need to pay a reduced fee, please do not hesitate to ask me about it and I will offer what I can.

Question 4

What is your Cancellation Policy?

Accepted Answer

Consistency is an essential part of the counseling process and when you schedule an appointment, that time has been specifically reserved for you. If you are unable to keep an appointment, I require 24 hours advance notice, or you will be charged for the full fee amount of the canceled or missed appointment. Thank you for respecting our time and valuing the time that has been set aside for you.
