Prior to your first session, I will schedule a phone or video call consultation with you that will last about 15-20 minutes. During this call, you can tell me a little bit more about your goals for therapy, and I will explain my practice policies. During this call (which is always free), we can decide together if it makes sense to schedule an initial session.

During our first session, we will discuss why you decided to come to therapy, your goals for therapy, and some of your biological, psychological, social, spiritual, and cultural history. We will also talk about some of ways we can spend our sessions moving forward.

Together we will decide how often you need to come to therapy. Some people benefit from coming weekly or every other week. Some people even benefit from coming more than once a week. At some point, you may even decide that you only need to come once per month, or that you don’t need to come to therapy regularly anymore.

Everyone is unique. The amount of time you spend in therapy is completely up to you! Of course, we will talk together about my recommendations, but that will be different for every person based on your history, needs, and life situation. Coming to therapy isn’t necessarily a life-long commitment, though some people do spend years in therapy if they feel it is beneficial for them. One benefit of paying privately for therapy rather than using your in-network health insurance benefits is that you and I have full freedom to decide together how frequently and how long we work together, whereas health insurance companies often assign rules about frequency of meetings and length of treatment which does not take into consideration your unique needs.

I require at least 24 hour notice for cancellations and reschedules. Clients will be responsible for paying a $75 cancellation fee for individual therapy and a $100 cancellation fee for family/couples therapy if the cancellation or reschedule request is less than 24 hours before the scheduled session. The only exceptions are unexpected illness or emergency. This is necessary because a time commitment is made to you and is held exclusively for you. If you are late for a session, you may lose some of that session time. The standard meeting time for psychotherapy is 50 minutes.

I do not offer text support in between sessions, because I am not always available to respond to texts, emails, and phone calls right away. Please only use text, email, or phone call for scheduling purposes or non-emergencies. I am often not immediately available; however, I will attempt to return your call within 24 hours. If a true emergency situation arises, please call 911 or any local emergency room.

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical and mental health care will cost.

Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy services.

You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare services, including psychotherapy services.

You can ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service.

If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.

For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises.

If you have a question, please reach out to me via email or phone. I look forward to speaking with you!
