Frequently Asked Questions
Below are answers to common questions about therapy sessions, scheduling, insurance, and fees. If you have any other questions about therapy sessions or mental health services, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
I provide treatment services in-person, virtually, or in a hybrid format depending on your clinical needs, preferences, and availability.
Yes, when clinically appropriate and agreed upon in advance. Availability may depend on location and scheduling needs.
I don’t offer recurring evening or weekend sessions, but I do my best to provide occasional flexibility for urgent needs.
Individual sessions are typically 50 minutes. We may decide to meet for shorter or longer sessions based on your goals and treatment needs.
Most appointments are weekly at the start of therapy. As progress continues, we may space sessions further apart - such as biweekly or monthly - based on your preferences and treatment plan.
The length of therapy depends on your goals and the issues you’re addressing. Many patients see meaningful progress within 12–30 sessions while others prefer ongoing support for continued growth.
I am an out-of-network provider, which means I do not bill insurance directly. This allows me to provide a highly personalized and confidential care experience without the limitations that are often imposed by insurance companies.
Most insurance companies provide different levels of coverage for “in-network” vs. “out-of-network” providers. If you wish to receive insurance reimbursement, it is very important that you find out what mental health services your insurance policy covers. I can provide a detailed medical receipt (called a “superbill”) for you to submit to your insurance for out-of-network benefits or for tax purposes.
Insurance coverage for therapy varies by plan. If your policy includes out-of-network benefits, you may be reimbursed for a portion of your session cost. I am happy to provide a superbill to help you file for reimbursement. Many people find it helpful to use a service, such as Reimbursify (https://reimbursify.com/), for submitting claims.
My therapy fee is $325 for a 50-minute session with rates prorated for longer or shorter appointments. As noted above, you may be able to get partial reimbursement through your insurance company.
Payment is due at the time of each service and may be made by all major credit card (American Express, MasterCard, Visa, and Discover), HSA/FSA cards, ACH transfers, Zelle, or check.
