I do not take insurance, but can provide you with a superbill that you can submit to your insurance for reimbursement. Check with your provider for specific reimbursement policies and rates.

Therapy is undeniably expensive, and I regret that the health care system we have in this country does not make it easy or equitable to access quality care. For this reason, I reserve several appointment spots for low cost and pro-bono clients. Currently, all of my redused fee availability is full, but please feel free to get in touch with questions.

​

If you decide that my rate is not possible, I sincerely hope you won't give up on seeking mental health care. I encourage you to look at options such as OpenPathCollective, and using the low cost/sliding scale filter options of TherapyDen and PsychologyToday.

Our telehealth sessions are conducted on a HIPAA-compliant version of Zoom. When I send you documents to sign before our first session, you will also receive telehealth instructions with the zoom link. 

​

Finding privacy and uninterrupted space can sometimes be a real challenge. Clients meet with me from their car (but not while driving!), closet, backyard, or office. If you would prefer, we can meet by phone instead of video so you can go for a walk while we talk to get some alone time. Confidentiality and privacy is ensured on my end, and I'm happy to help you be creative to find it on yours.

I am telehealth only. Although I never rule anything out, I don't have current plans to return to an office. Although telehealth is different than in-person therapy, I have found it offers the same connection and effectiveness with adults and older / mature adolescents. It is more challenging with young teens and children, but still a useful option, especially as part of family therapy. I understand virtual therapy won't work for everyone, but if you think we might be a good fit, I encourage you to give it a try and see how it feels for you.

Your appointment time is set aside and reserved for you. Therefore, I require 24 hours notice to cancel an appointment or you are expected to pay the full session fee. If I am able to accommodate rescheduling you during the same calendar week, I will with no penalty. However, I am often fully booked and cannot guarantee such accommodation. No-shows are always charged the full session fee. 

Finding the right therapist for you is the most important part of therapy. I mean that literally; research indicates that a good therapeutic relationship is the strongest predictor of positive outcomes. For that reason, I encourage anyone looking for a therapist to keep searching until they find the right person for them. I welcome feedback and honesty about the process of choosing a therapist, and feel no hurt feelings if you decide to go elsewhere. I'm not everyone's cup of tea, and I am confident the right therapist for you is out there. Take full advantage of therapists' offers to meet with you briefly for free so you can get a sense of who we are. Don't give up on finding the right person for you!

Although everyone is different, when beginning therapy, I do not recommend meeting less than once a week. This is the best practice for establishing our therapeutic relationship, clarifying and working toward treatment goals, and getting into the weekly rhythm of this work together. It is my experience that clients who see me every other week feel dissatisfied with the pace of progress and sometimes discontinue therapy. Occasionally, as clients reach their goals and transition away from weekly therapy, we will temporarily move to every other week as a way of tapering down.
