FAQ and Commonly Asked Questions

What to expect in the first session?

The initial session typically entails completing a general intake questionnaire, providing a safe environment for clients to delve into the issues prompting them to seek psychotherapy.

Payment Options

I offer an automated payment system, ensuring all my clients can focus on their sessions without the hassle of managing payments each time.

​

I do offer sliding scale pricing to a limited number of clients based on financial need.

Insurance

As an 'Out of Network' provider, I offer support for clients interested in utilizing their out-of-network benefits. I can supply you with a detailed invoice containing all the required documentation for insurance claim processing. Clients receive a superbill from me to facilitate reimbursement from their insurance providers.

Medication

I am a Licensed Associate Professional Clinical Counselor (APCC) and a Licensed Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (AMFT), not a psychiatrist, and can not prescribe medication. 

Psychotherapy can be effective in managing a variety of symptoms, however, there are times when medication is necessary to alleviate the distress of the individual. If we conclude together that you may benefit from medication, I can provide a referral to a psychiatrist. If you are currently working with a psychiatrist, I am happy and willing to collaborate with him/her to facilitate your care.

Confidentiality

Every session provides a safe space that is completely confidential and where discussions stay between the client and therapist. There are some limits to confidentiality that would require me to break confidentiality which include:

• Intent and plan to harm yourself or others.

• Child and/or elder abuse.

• If a court of law issues a subpoena or a client is mandated to treatment by court order.
