What should a new client know about working with you?
I hope you will feel heard and understood. Psychotherapy is not like a medical doctor visit. It calls for a very active discussion in order to understand your concerns and determine the best way forward. Whatever course we follow will be done with your full consent and understanding. Because therapy often involves discussing unpleasant aspects of your life, you may experience uncomfortable feelings and some distress at times. However, people from all walks of life have experienced great benefits from a course of psychotherapy. People often feel relieved and reassured as they gain insight into their problems and develop ways to address them. Psychotherapy often leads to better relationships, solutions to specific problems, and significant reductions in feelings of distress.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
