WHAT IS THERAPY?
ABOUT ME AND TYPES OF TREATMENT
Please refer to my about me tab to learn more about me, my training and the types of therapy I offer.
INITIATING SERVICES
Please email me at [email protected]. In reaching out, please give me a little info about what you are experiencing and hoping to work on. We will discuss if we could potentially be a fit for each other. If so, you will be sent paperwork through my EHR (Electronic Health Record) to complete.
TREATMENT
Our first session, which is an intake evaluation, will last 55-minutes. I will ask you questions about what brought you in and what you’re hoping to accomplish through counseling. I will let you know at that meeting what your suspected diagnosis is and treatment recommendations. We will discuss if we believe we are a fit for each other to proceed with treatment. Here is an great article about the importance of therapy fit.
Our follow up appointments will last about 45-55 minutes. Typically, clients are seen on a weekly or bi-weekly basis.
Throughout our sessions we will check in on your progress and discuss your treatment plan together. I always strive to collaborate on your care. You know you better than anyone and your opinion matters in your treatment.
As you progress, we reduce the frequency of appointments and work towards you not needing me anymore.
FOLLOW UP APPOINTMENTS & CANCELLATIONS
Clients are responsible to self-schedule through my portal. I do not offer standing appointments, unless discussed and agreed upon. If you are unable to make your appointment, you can call, email or message through the portal. I require at least 48 hours notice for cancellation or rescheduling to avoid a fee.
BILLING & COST
All services will be billed at the time of service to your on file credit card. You can learn more about fees and insurance here.
