Frequently Asked Questions
What will my first session be like?
The first time we meet, we will get to know each other, begin history taking, establish goals and I will answer any questions that you may have for me. It is important to our therapeutic process that you are comfortable and that you feel I am a good fit for you.
As a client, what do you expect from me?
By starting therapy or coaching you are making a commitment to bring growth and/or recovery into your life. This process is simply not possible without your commitment. It is important to arrive on time for appointments, to do the work necessary to implement the changes that we discuss, and to remain open and willing.
How long are the sessions and how long will I be seeing you?
Sessions are typically 50 minutes in length. How long we will work together and how frequently we meet, will be based on your individual needs and goals established.
Do you offer Telehealth /Virtual sessions?
Yes, when suitable. Overall, I prefer in person sessions because I believe there is a beneficial connection and energy that happens. However, when therapeutically appropriate, we can use Telehealth. The platform I use is Doxy.me, which is HIPAA compliant.
Do you take insurance?
No. However, I can provide you with the information needed should you want to pursue out of network reimbursement with your insurance.
Do you practice Good Faith Estimate?
Yes. If you would like a Good Faith Estimate, please just let me know. If you would like to know more about the Good Faith Estimate, you may follow this link cms.gov/nosurprises
How do you accept payment?
Payments are accepted in cash, check or credit card. As a reminder, counseling and coaching is an investment you are making in yourself for your own growth and well-being.
What is your cancellation policy?
If you need to cancel, I ask for a 24 hour notice. For any appointments missed or cancelled without a 24 hour notice, clients could be responsible for a fee.
