If we need to schedule longer sessions to meet your treatment goals, we can do that as my schedule allows, at a pro-rated rate.

I am an out of network provider and am not contracted with any insurance providers. This means you are responsible for paying for your sessions. I can provide you with the paperwork you need to submit to your insurance company for reimbursement.

There are benefits to paying for services without going through insurance. I can provide services in the most flexible way possible as we together can best determine your course of therapy. I also do not have to diagnose you with a psychiatric condition for you to be able to receive services. This works best for my practice, as many of my clients are coming in for relational concerns as their primary concern.

I have a 24 hour cancellation policy. I ask that all clients remember to cancel or reschedule 24 hours in advance. Cancellations and re-scheduled session will be subject to a full charge if not received at least 24 hours in advance. 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.

At the same time, I understand that there are times when things are out of our control. I am open to discussion.

Our first few sessions will involve an assessment of your needs. By the end of the assessment phase, I will be able to offer you some first impressions of what our work will include and a treatment plan to follow, if you decide to continue with therapy. You should evaluate this information along with your own opinions about whether you feel comfortable working with me. At the end of the assessment, I will notify you if I believe that I am not the right therapist for you and, if so, I will give you referrals to other practitioners whom I believe are better suited to help you.

If we agree to begin psychotherapy, I will usually schedule one session (one appointment hour of 50 minutes duration) per week, at a time we agree on, although some sessions may be longer or more frequent. Therapy involves a large commitment of time, money, and energy, so you should be very careful about the therapist you select. If you have questions about my procedures, we should discuss them whenever they arise. If your doubts persist, I will be happy to help you set up a meeting with another mental health professional for a second opinion.
