What does therapy look like?
We will meet 1-2 times per week in my office.
We may spend time exploring how you feel about yourself, how you feel in your relationships, and how you feel being a person in this world. I have experience working with individuals who have a wide range of life experiences, identities, and interests. My hope is to create a space in which anything can be talked about.
How much does it cost?
My sessions are 45-minutes and my session fee is similar to that of other clinicians in the area. Reach out to me if you would like to discuss working together - I have a small sliding scale available. See below for information about how your health insurance may help pay for therapy.
Can I use my health insurance?
I am an out-of-network provider with commercial health plans. Many people are able to get part of the cost of therapy reimbursed by their health plan. I can provide you with a super-bill (also called an itemized receipt) to submit for reimbursement. You will want to check in with your health plan about the following:
Does my plan have coverage for out-of-network services for mental/behavioral health?
What is my deductible and have I reached it?
Is there a limit on how many sessions my plan will cover each year?
What is the reimbursement rate per session? (the insurance billing code is 90834)
Do I need approval from my primary care doctor? (typical only for HMO plans)
How do I get started?
You can call or email me to let me know you are interested in therapy. I will call you back and we can spend about 10-15 minutes on the phone. I will want to hear about what is bringing you to therapy, and you can ask me any questions you have about therapy or working with me. If we decide to schedule, we will find a time that work for both of us and I will share info about my office.
Our first few sessions give both of us a chance to see if working together seems like it could benefit you. We will talk more about what has been going on for you and what you want to get out of therapy. Sometimes people know something is not right or needs to change, but don't quite know what it is. This is something we can work on together.
