Frequently Asked Questions
Scheduling, Insurance, Fees & Confidentiality
I am licensed to practice telehealth in CO, CT, FL, IN, NJ and NY. I invite you to schedule a call for a free 20 minute phone consultation. At this time we can discuss logistics and fees as well as briefly chat about what you are seeking help with.
If need is demonstrated, I offer a discretionary sliding scale for college and grad school students.
Regarding insurance, I am out of network with all providers. Your provider will be able to explain to you if your plan includes these benefits. If you are eligible, I offer paid in full invoices ( Superbills) should you elect to submit for reimbursement. I am happy to assist you regarding the common questions to ask when you call your insurance company.
If after our phone consult you are comfortable with what you’ve heard, we will schedule a virtual session. Generally, individual sessions are 45 mins and couples are 60 mins. Some clients prefer sessions of longer duration and I am usually able to accommodate.
What type of commitment is required of me?
Any ongoing commitment is up to you. Weekly consistency can accelerate rapport and momentum, and may help you achieve more gratifying results. However, life gets busy and many of us have overlapping commitments. I will never pressure you to schedule if doing so is an additional stressor. When we meet for your first session, I will offer you the option of booking another appointment or taking some time to think it over. This will be my approach until you express that you’d like to establish something consistent.
What is my Clinical Approach?
My approach is multifaceted, primarily using solution focused, cognitive behavioral and where appropriate trauma treatment models. However, no one individual is identical to another. Your concerns, circumstances, temperament and goals will guide our collaboration. My service plan is rooted in my commitment to compassion, respect and empowerment.
Confidentiality
Confidentiality is an essential component of the relationship between clinician and client. This means that under normal circumstances no one outside the therapy session is given any information, even the fact that you have been here, without your express written consent. There are a few safety exceptions to this protocol that may be further discussed. Please see the guidelines followed in the HIPAA Confidentiality Notice here.
