Frequently Asked Questions

1. Do you accept insurance?

I do accept some insurances. If you wish to schedule an appointment with me and I am not in-network with your plan, you may want to call the Customer Service number on the back of your insurance card and ask if you have out-of-network benefits. I ask for anyone who wishes to utilize their insurance to know their deductible and co-pay amounts prior to starting services, as plans vary widely.

2. Do you offer online or tele-counseling?

Yes! I do offer teletherapy through a HIPAA compliant platform. While "I" am more partial to in-person counseling, I am happy to provide virtual sessions in most cases.

3. Do you offer sliding scale?

I do not offer a sliding scale, but I offer a reduced fee of private-pay clients who schedule between the hours of 8:00 am and 3:00 pm Monday - Thursday.

4. How long are sessions?

The initial session (assessment) generally runs 60 minutes. Thereafter, sessions are 45-50 minutes.

5. How often will i have to come to counseling?

I strongly recommend weekly counseling sessions. Any less frequent, and the process is significantly less effective, and it will take you significantly longer to achieve your goal.

6. how long are most people in therapy?

I am asked this question frequently, but it is impossible to quantify. Every person is different. I would like to stress that the more consistent and dedicated to the process you are, the faster you will start recognizing positive results.

7. what forms of payment do you accept?

Cash, check, credit card, and Paypal are all acceptable forms of payment. 

8. what is your cancellation policy?

Every client is given one free no show/last minute cancellation. Thereafter, you will be charged a $70 fee for any session cancelled or broken without 24-hour notice.

9. Is counseling gay couples different from counseling a straight couple?

Yes and No. Every couple is different. Every situation is different, but Love, Trust, and Respect must make up the foundation of any relationship for it to be healthy, and positive communication is essential for it to thrive. Most couples who come to me, regardless of orientation, identify ‘problems with communication’ as the primary cause for stress in their relationship.

10. Do you see couples who are not married?

Absolutely!
