HELPFUL ANSWERS
WHAT INSURANCE DO YOU ACCEPT AND DO YOU OFFER SLIDING SCALE RATES?
I accept Blue Cross Blue Shield and am a certified out of network provider for Tricare. I also take private pay clients. I work to offer a sliding scale, though my typical out of pocket rate is $120-$160/hour.
HOW LONG DOES EACH THERAPY SESSION TAKE?
Each session last approximately 55 minutes. I schedule an initial session so that client and therapist can determine if it is a good fit. If we decide to move forward, I believe the amount and frequency of reoccurring sessions is up to each client. My style is client-centered which means that we work together, hand-in-hand through the process. I follow your lead and offer suggestions. Some clients come for a few sessions and find it enough, others stay longer preferring the check-ins and continual support.
FIRST VISIT AND REFERRALS
I see the first visit as an initial consultation. We meet and decide together if it is a good fit. Just like anything else, the spark of connection is vital. If it doesn't light between us, I am happy to help find you a referral to another therapist. Unfettered dialogue is key and open-heartedness keeps all doors ajar.
