Getting Started

Getting started is simple. Below you’ll find what to expect when scheduling your first appointment, including session options, fees, policies, and answers to common questions. If anything is unclear, you’re always welcome to reach out before booking.

What to Expect

During your initial consultation, we’ll discuss your goals, determine the most appropriate session structure, and review any logistical questions you may have. Session length and frequency are tailored to your individual needs.

Privacy and Confidentiality

The law protects the relationship between a client and psychotherapist/analyst. Any information cannot be disclosed without written permission.

The exceptions of the laws include:

• If a client intends to harm him/herself, I will make every effort to ensure their safety. If they are unable to cooperate, I will have to take further measures without their permission that are provided to my by law in order to ensure their safety.

• Suspected child abuse, domestic violence or elder abuse. I am bound by law to report this to the appropriate authorities.

Fee range: $325–$475

Initial Consultation

Limited sliding scale availability may be discussed during the first appointment.

Insurance

I participate in out of network insurance only. Your health insurance carrier may cover your psychotherapy services in full or part. I would suggest that you check your coverage and ask the following:

• Do you have mental health benefits? If so, do you have in-network or out-of network benefits?

• If so, is there a deductible and has it been met by other medical services other than mental health?

• How many sessions per year does your health insurance cover?

• What is the coverage amount per therapy session?

• Do you need approval from your primary physician?

Payment

Services are private‑pay. Insurance is not accepted directly; however, a monthly superbill can be provided upon request for out‑of‑network reimbursement.

Accepted payment methods:

• Credit or debit card

• Zelle

• Venmo

Payment is due at the time of service.

Teletherapy

Secure teletherapy sessions are available via a HIPAA‑compliant platform. Teletherapy fees are the same as in‑person sessions.

Cancellation Policy

Appointments are reserved specifically for you.

• 48+ hours notice: no charge

• Less than 48 hours notice: full session fee

• Missed appointments/no‑shows: full fee
