Both Check and Cash will be accepted if you have exact change, as I will not be able to provide change. I do not accept Venmo or PayPal.

​

​* A reduced rate may be determined for clients in financial hardship. This is known as a sliding scale based upon income and available resources. If you feel you may qualify for a reduced rate of services, please notify on your intake paperwork.

I do file insurance and accept Blue Cross/Blue Shield, Aetna, Cigna, United HealthCare, UMR, and Optum. For clients with any other insurance providers, the full fee of $150 is charged, and you will be provided with a superbill to file a claim on your own.

If you choose to self-file I will send you a superbill, which has all of the essential information for you to send in to your insurance provider in order to receive reimbursement. Reimbursement checks are generally mailed directly to the client. 

After our initial appointment, I typically suggest starting therapy once a week or once every other week. Sometimes this plan varies, but I have found the more often I am able to see a client in the beginning stages of the therapy process the faster we are able to build a strong therapeutic alliance and often times progress is made more quickly.

Adolescent (07 years+), teen, adult, and elder clients. 

Our first session is an initial intake appointment where I will ask you (and/or parents depending on the client’s age) questions to get to know them better.

​

I will ask about what has brought you to the decision to start therapy and any past experience(s) in therapy.

​

I will also ask about things like sleep, diet, exercise, social-life, hobbies, etc.

​

I will take time to explain my therapeutic approach at this first appointment and will go over confidentiality and when I am obligated to report issues of safety. We will also discuss our plan and schedule future appointment(s) at this time

New clients must email or call to set up an initial appointment. Established clients are able to request appointments through their client portal. Appointment requests can be made up to 2 months in advance and will be accepted or denied by your provider depending on availability. If an appointment request is denied, your provider will contact you with alternate scheduling options.

The testing protocol varies depending on the individual client’s needs. The process always starts with an initial intake assessment, and concludes with a test results session where the testing results are reviewed with the client/parent(s) in their entirety. A comprehensive report is also provided to the client/parent(s) for their records or to provide to their doctor, school, etc. These are both standard 50-minute sessions at the regular session fee.

Insurance providers typically do not cover this type of testing; however, coverage depends on your individual plan. I always recommend contacting your insurance provider to see if they have any preferred providers in the area who are covered under your plan.
The testing process can typically be completed within 4 to 6 weeks of scheduling the intake assessment.​
