FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

-
WHAT IS A DISCOVERY CALL?A discovery call is a 15-minute phone or video call where we discuss the logistics of working together, talk through any questions you may have, and see if we would be a good fit. During this call we typically schedule the intake session if proceeding working together.
-
WHAT IS AN INTAKE SESSION?The intake session is the first session we will have together where we will learn a bit about each other, discuss logistical details of our sessions, and explore what you are looking for in therapy. My intake sessions are 50-minutes in length and there is an additional $20 cost for the initial session.
-
DO YOU ACCEPT INSURANCE?At this time I only accept Medicare, although I am beginning the paneling process with most major insurance companies and Medicaid. I can send itemized statements if you wish to submit to your insurance for reimbursement.
-
WHAT FORMS OF PAYMENT DO YOU TAKE?I accept HSA, check, cash, or card.
-
DO YOU ACCEPT SLIDING SCALE?I offer income-based sliding scale rates on a very limited basis. If my reduced rate spots are full, I am happy to add you to the waitlist for a reduced fee spot.
-
WHAT AGE GROUPS DO YOU WORK WITH?I see people 12 years and older. When working with anyone under the age of 18, I will meet with the parent(s) or legal guardian(s) for part of the initial session and will schedule periodic check-ins in collaboration with the minor.
-
DO YOU SEE COUPLES OR FAMILIES?I do not see couples or families, only individuals.
-
WHAT IS YOUR CANCELLATION POLICY?I ask that clients reschedule or cancel their appointments 24 hours prior to the schedule appointment to avoid late-cancellation or no-show fee (the full rate of the session). This is to be done via the portal, or if needed via email or phone call. No-show fees are the full rate and I discontinue scheduling after three no-shows.
