Frequently asked questions.
What should I expect?
We will start with a free 15-minute phone consultation. During the phone consultation, I will ask you about what you are hoping to work on in therapy and gather other relevant information. The phone consultation will be the first opportunity for us both to assess whether we feel as though we will be a good fit to work together. Please note that due to the nature of telehealth, I am likely not a good fit if you are struggling with self-harm or need higher-level services (i.e., an intensive outpatient service).
If we both feel as though we are a good fit to work together after the phone consultation, I will then send you some consent forms and a few questionnaires that will need to be completed before we can meet. These forms can all be competed and signed through the secure patient portal.
Our first session together will be an intake evaluation. During the intake evaluation, I’ll gather additional information about your symptoms and background. The intake evaluation will serve as another opportunity for us both to assess whether we are a good fit to work together.
On-going therapy sessions are typically 45 or 60 minutes, once per week. I offer both short- and long-term therapy. Treatment duration and session length will depend on your symptoms, treatment progress, and personal preferences.
Do you accept insurance?
I do not currently accept insurance. However, my services may qualify for full or partial reimbursement through your insurance company’s “out-of-network” benefits. It is your responsibility to confirm eligibility for out-of-network coverage with your provider. If you are eligible, you would pay the full session fee upfront and then submit a claim for reimbursement after each session.
To assist with out-of-network claims, I will provide a detailed statement (called a superbill) that includes all the necessary information for submission.
Additionally, under federal law, you are entitled to a “Good Faith Estimate” detailing the expected costs of your mental health care. For more information, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call (800) 985-3059.
How much are sessions?
Fees vary depending on the type and length of the appointment. My fees are consistent with other doctoral-level psychologists with similar training and expertise. We will go over session fees during the initial free 15-minute consultation call.
How do I pay for telehealth sessions?
I accept payment via credit cards, debit cards, or HSA cards. Payment is processed automatically through my secure portal on the evening of your session. Depending on your insurance plan, you may choose to receive a monthly superbill for out-of-network reimbursement.
Do you accept Medicare?
No , I am not part of Medicare, and my services are not reimbursable by Medicare plans. Please let me know if you have Medicare, as I will need you to sign a Medicare opt-out form.
Do you work with children?
I am currently only accepting adult clients (ages 18 and above).
What is your cancellation policy?
Because I reserve your session time exclusively for you, late cancellations and missed appointments prevent me from providing services to both you and other clients. I have a 24-hour cancellation policy. Sessions canceled or missed with less than 24 hours’ notice will incur the full session fee. However, I offer a one-time “free pass” for the first late cancellation or no-show. I will also waive the late-cancellation fee if we can reschedule within the same week.
