Frequently Asked Questions

Fees, Treatment Length, & Confidentiality

How quickly will I see results?

In the first 2-3 sessions, you should notice a budding sense of connection and possibility. The feeling of a good match is important in therapy and you can often feel a sense of traction and movement after just a few sessions. If you don't, I can help to find alternative options so you can find the right fit. My priority will always be your wellbeing.

How often will we meet?

The most common structure for individual and couples therapy is to start by meeting weekly. Once things feel more settled we can switch to meeting every other week until wellbeing has been restored and you are able to navigate the world with confidence and resilience.

How long will I need to attend therapy?

This is a difficult question to answer. One answer is: as long as you want to.

Some people reach all of their goals and are ready to graduate from therapy in 3-6 months. Others may benefit from longer term support and enjoy the depth and growth that can be accessed through a longer-term therapeutic relationship. Ultimately, this is a decision we make collaboratively based on your needs and desires.

Is everything I share confidential?

Mostly. Your privacy is very important to me. What you share in therapy is kept confidential, and my goal is always to protect your personal information.

There are a few rare situations where I am legally or ethically required to break confidentiality, such as if there is a risk of serious harm to yourself or others, concerns about child or elder abuse, or a court order. Outside of these exceptions, your information will not be shared without your permission.

Can I get an estimate for the potential cost of therapy?

Yes! I will gladly provide this. You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical and mental health 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 expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy services.

You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare services, including psychotherapy services.

You can ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service.

If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.

For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call (800) 985-3059.

Individual (50 min) - $200

Couple's (60 min) - $245

I offer a limited number of sliding scale spots, please contact me directly if you'd like to discuss current reduced fee availability.

Do you take insurance?

I am currently a private-pay, out-of-network provider. While I don't accept insurance directly, your insurance plan may have out-of-network benefits, which means that they will reimburse you for a portion of our session cost.

I have partnered with Thrizer to handle the out-of-network process automatically for you. With Thrizer, you will only have to pay a copay for our sessions post-deductible, instead of paying my full fee and waiting for reimbursements. This typically allows clients to save on average 70% upfront on our sessions. During our intake process, I can help you verify if you have out-of-network benefits or you can use the calculator below to receive a free estimate of your out-of-network coverage (including your deductible and coinsurance) and estimated reimbursement for therapy sessions:
