Question 1

Q: How much does therapy cost?

Accepted Answer

A:   50 minute individual sessions is $250.       75 minute couple session is $275.       Most couples feel an increased level of security when there is enough time to express themselves in a session. To make headway toward healing a little quicker, I begin with 75 mins for couples/families.

Question 2

Q: Do you offer a sliding scale?

Accepted Answer

A: Yes. I am happy to discuss. It is dependent both on your individual needs and whether there are openings at the time of inquiry and I very much support having this conversation when we have our first consultation.

Question 3

Q: Do you take insurance?

Accepted Answer

A:  I am not in-network with insurance companies. They have requirements for mental health providers, for example, diagnoses and limits on length of treatment covered. If you have insurance and would like to ask if they offer partial reimbursement, here are some helpful questions you should ask your insurance provider:Do you accept superbills?Can I use an out-of-network provider?Is there a limit on sessions per year? How much will you reimburse?What is the policy year (i.e. Jan 1 – Dec 31)?

Question 4

Q: Do you do Telehealth?

Accepted Answer

A: Sure do! I offer in-person sessions as well as Telehealth on a HIPAA compliant platform.

Question 5

Q: What are the steps to begin?

Accepted Answer

It is important the therapist you find feels aligned for you which is why I offer a complimentary initial phone consultation to chat for a few minutes and figure out what's the most important things you are facing right now you'd like help with.Once you decide you are ready to begin therapy, I find a weekly time slot which will be set aside for you - so be mindful of what works best for you this way your weekly schedule feels right for you.After your calendar(s) are checked and we find an available window, this becomes your dedicated timeslot every week.I then send you digital consent forms to sign and we set the date to begin.   ​

Question 6

Q: I've heard of Superbills. What is that & do you offer them?

Accepted Answer

Short answer is yes! Absolutely (and many therapists do!) It is essentially a "statement of charges" which shows what you have paid, usually distributed once per month; you then submit it (often online, sometimes snail mail) and they (may, first need to check) help with a partial reiumbursment. Because I am not in-network with insurance providers but do supply Superbills, this might be something you can do - again, first want to see if they accept them from "out of network" providers.   ​If you do have insurance, contact your insurance provider to find out if they will accept a Superbill from an out-of-network mental health provider. See the FAQs here  for more information on what you can ask them specifically.

Question 7

Q: What kinds of therapy do you offer?

Accepted Answer

A: I offer individual and couple therapy. I specialize in EFT for relationships, though I factor in everyone's unique needs by bringing in the exploration of your past. We explore existential topics and work to rebuild secure attachments through experience in the room. We dip in to your history to understand old wounds. The goal is to find where you're stuck and help you  feel more congruent within.

Question 8

Q: How do I choose the right therapist for me?

Accepted Answer

A: Great question. First priority is that you feel comfortable and empathized with. You want to feel respected and that your intersectionality is understood. You want to be challenged,  empowered, and that it is safe to be vulnerable. Sometimes it takes a couple sessions to determine how you feel. Trust your intuition. And, as I wrote above, it is important that we are a “good fit” so that the work you are doing feels deeply helpful for you, which is why I offer a complimentary initial phone consultation.

Question 9

Q: What if my loved one isn't ready for therapy, but I am?

Accepted Answer

I would be happy to hold a free consultation to talk this through with the both of you (or family, thrupple, etc) - we could explore what therapy can look like to help your partner or loved-one better understand what the goals are, how i work, voice their apprehension or worries. But for conjoint therapy to deepen, we do want everyone's willingness to be there. That said, MANY people are "asked" (or dragged) into therapy and this also makes sense. This is not unusual or "bad". Part of the work for all parties is exactly about voicing what's real for them, re-finding emotional safety and having resistance or fears acknowledged. I do need speak with all parties before we begin in our consultation however.  We want to ensure everyone's willingness in the process.

Question 10

Q: How long do I need to go to therapy, before I feel better?

Accepted Answer

A: Because each person is unique, so too is your process. Some find 6 months is helpful, and affordable, while others find that having this safe place to discuss deep topics that arise on an ongoing basis is what is preferred, and needed, for years to come. The schedule can shift becoming more flexible once the work has been established and stability has taken root.

Question 11

Q: I think I want to separate, should we do therapy to help us through this process?

Accepted Answer

While I can't opinionate or suggest one way or the other which avenue is best for you and your loved one, whether it is divorce, separation, break up, a short break, or cutting off from a family member, "Clarity is Kind" as they say. I work with people lovingly letting go. This would not be a long journey together (2 to 6 sessions) but if the goal is to separate using empathy, if the goal is to understand each other so as to release yourselves from the kind of hurts that trap us and follow us around into our next relationships inadvertently, then yes: uncoupling as Kathrine Woodward phrased it in her book Conscious Uncoupling might be beneficial. 
Or, start with her book! Read together & see where that takes you.
