Frequently Asked Questions
Below are some commonly asked questions. If yours isn't listed, please feel free to reach out via the contact page, and I'll be happy to provide assistance.
How long are the sessions?
The initial session can last up to an hour and a half, with following sessions lasting one hour each.
How many sessions do I need?
The number of sessions required varies depending on your unique situation and specific needs. I typically recommend scheduling sessions 2 weeks apart instead of weekly. Sessions continue until you feel you have reached your desired outcome; there is no obligation to continue if you no longer wish to.
What is the cancelations policy?
If unexpected circumstances arise, I kindly request that you provide at least 48-hour notice for any cancellations. Sessions that are canceled within this timeframe or in case of no-shows will be subject to full charges. This practice of being charged for no-shows or late cancellations is standard practice in the field, and takes into account that you are not just paying for services rendered, but reserving a time slot which I cannot offer to someone else on short notice.
What do I do if I am running late to my appointment?
If you are running late to your session please reach out to me as soon as possible to confirm your arrival time. I will work with the time you have remaining in your session.
What are your fees and can I use my insurance?
Sessions are priced at $100 each. I do not accept insurance at this time.
What are the benefits of a virtual session vs an in person one?
Virtual sessions offer unique benefits alongside traditional in-person sessions. Virtual sessions provide the convenience of accessing therapy from the comfort of your chosen environment. This allows you to engage in therapy while being in a space where you feel most comfortable. However I ask that you make sure you're alone and free from potential distractions. Additionally, virtual sessions eliminate the need for travel time, offering flexibility in scheduling and accessibility for individuals with mobility constraints. In-person sessions on the other hand, provide a comfortable space free of daily distractions, fostering a more immediate sense of connection and safety. Despite the differences, both options prioritize your well-being and offer effective support tailored to your needs.
Does what we talk about in therapy remain confidential?
Your privacy and trust are of utmost importance to me. I want to assure you that everything discussed during our therapy sessions remains strictly confidential, unless there is an imminent threat to your safety or the safety of others. Fostering a secure and supportive therapeutic space is a priority.
Are there any symptoms you don't work with?
I am qualified to work with a wide variety of clients and problems, but sometimes I may not have the training needed to address a particular concern. If this is the case I will discuss it with you so you can find another professional who is better qualified to serve you. If you are having current hallucinations/ delusions, severe thoughts of suicide or self-harm, or extreme Bipolar mood swings you may need more support than I can offer you through our sessions and I reserve the right to refer you to a different or more intensive treatment if I believe you exceed the level of care I can offer.
