Frequently Asked Questions

​

What should I expect in my first session?

​

Your first few sessions will consist of mainly history gathering. You will spend time talking about your family, education, relationships, work, who you are, what you've been though, and what you've survived. I will be asking general and direct questions, in addition to open-ended questions to learn more about patterns that may be contributing to your troubles. You will then explore what goals you would like to accomplish and together we will work to come up with specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and time-based steps to reach those goals.

​

How long is a therapy session?

​

A therapy session is 45-50 minutes typically once a week. A family and couples session is 60-90 minutes once a week.

​

How much does a session cost and do you take insurance?

 

A session is $150 for individual and child/adolescent sessions. I do not accept any insurance at this time. A sliding scale can be discussed. Payments can be made via online HIPPA compliant card system.

 

What happens if I can't make my session?

 

I understand that things happen. Please give at least 24-hour notice if you are unable to keep your scheduled session. If time permits, we will reschedule within the same or following week. If you no-call, no-show more than once (you get one freebie) or cancel same day of session, a 50 percent cancellation fee will be charged. If session is canceled due to therapist reasoning, you will not be charged for the session.

 

How long does therapy take before I see some results?

​

The answer to this question is based on your readiness for change. If you are consistent and motivated to put in the hard work it takes to function in this ever-changing world, then expect to see changes in the way you think, feel, and behave. If you have expectations that you can change the way others think, feel, and behave or have expectations that I can "fix" or "save" you, then expect results to take longer than expected.
