Appointments are scheduled in advance for 50 minutes.  My standard fee is $80 per session.  Payment is made at the beginning of each session in the form of cash, check or credit card (Visa, Mastercard). 

I do not bill insurance but generally, insurance companies will reimburse for my services as an out- of- network provider. I am happy to provide you with the necessary forms.  Because out- of- network benefits vary, I recommend contacting your insurance company to find out how much they will reimburse. 

Because I want to remain affordable to those seeking counseling, I offer a sliding fee scale for those who can't afford my fees.  Please feel free to discuss this with me when you contact me.

A few additional questions you may have....

How often would I come in?  Ultimately, this is your decision and one we can discuss during your first appointment.  Generally, most people come in once a week.

How long will therapy last?  This varies with the person and the issue but typically it ends when your initial goals are reached.

What if I don't have specific goals -- I just need general support right now? Coming to therapy for support during a difficult patch in your life can be extremely valuable.  You don't need to have specific goals.  Sometimes it helps to just have someone to talk to!

I encourage your questions!  Please feel free to contact me by phone or email

Counseling Forms

To begin the counseling process, there are a couple of forms that need to be completed and signed.  If you can download them, please bring them to our first session.  Otherwise, plan to come a few minutes early and I will have them available for you to complete before we start our session.

Client Information

Disclosure

What will we do during your first visit?

During your first visit, I will ask you to talk about your concerns and what you hope to achieve through counseling.  I will also ask you some questions about your background. If you are seeing me for an eating disorder or eating concerns, I may use a structured assessment tool designed for eating disorders.

You are welcome (and encouraged!) to ask  questions about my background as well as my style and approach as a therapist. You are making a decision that requires a lot of trust so it is important for you decide if you feel comfortable working with me.
