Frequently Asked Questions
Do you see clients in person or virtually?
1
Yes, I provide both types of sessions. I see great value meeting in person, as I like the connection and rapport that is allowed more fully in the same shared space. However, not all schedules allow for this so virtual sessions work well due to distance and hectic calendars.
Yes I take Aetna, Cigna and United health. I will verify your coverage and file claims on your behalf.
2
Do you take insurance?
Are there benefits to self pay?
3
The benefit to private pay sessions is that there is no diagnosis needed, no medical necessity criteria to meet, no audits from insurance companies, no session limits or dictation on how often sessions can be held.
Is there a late cancel fee or No show fee?
4
Yes - Sessions time slots are held especially for you. If a session is cancelled less than 24 hrs or a client does not show up for an appt, then an $85 fee is applied to the credit card on file.
Therapy allows a safe space to talk openly about issues with someone who is objective, non-judgmental, and clinically trained to support you through a variety of concerns. With the right fit, talk therapy is empirically shown to help reduce or resolve symptoms and assist you in leading a more satisfying life.
