How does counseling work?
Working with a counselor is not like going to a medical doctor– it requires your very active involvement and your best efforts to change thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that bring you suffering. You define your goals and any obstacles you face in achieving them; I’ll use my knowledge, training, and experience to help you make the changes you want to make! Actively practicing the new skills you’ll learn in sessions is an important part of the process too. This will help you learn new ways of looking at challenges that will help you experience life with greater ease and wellbeing.
Do you accept insurance?
I’d prefer not to work with insurance companies as they dictate what kind of care you’ll receive along with requiring a diagnosis for services which will become part of your medical health record for life. But I’m happy to provide you with a “Super Bill,” which you can use to submit to your insurance company for possible out-of-network benefits.
What kind of services do you offer?
I offer telehealth counseling services, group sessions, and the occasional walk-and-talk therapy session.
What are your fees for services?
Services are $125-$240 sessions along with a complimentary phone consultation call prior to the start of services. Call for a more detailed fee schedule and reduced rates inquiries.
What is your cancellation policy?
For all appointments, please give me greater than 48 hours notice, when you cancel or reschedule the appointment. For those sessions that are canceled less than 48 hours of the scheduled appointment, you will be charged the full session fee of whatever service you have booked.
Is therapy confidential?
Yes, the law protects the privileged communication between a client and therapist. However, there are exceptions to this rule, and they are as follows: 1) report of child or elder abuse; 2) danger to self or others; and 3) if there is a court order.
What is the Good Faith Estimate?
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate explaining how much your medical care will cost. Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.
Please make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.
For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, please visit this website at www.cms.gov/nosurprises/consumers, email FederalPPDRQuestions@cms.hhs.gov, or call 1-800-985-3059.
