What should a new client know about working with you?
At the end of our first meeting, I will make some recommendations for what may help you reach your goal. I am known to send materials and worksheets to help clients between meetings. Sometimes I make a homework recommendation. I listen intently to make sure we have addressed what you wanted to address. I ask at the end of sessions 1. If we worked on what you were wanting to 2. If there was anything you would’ve liked to change about our meeting and 3. Rate on a scale how well you are functioning in areas of your life.

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.
