Frequently Asked Questions
“How do I start therapy ?”
You’re already carrying so much. Getting started shouldn’t feel heavy. All you have to do is reach out. I’ll walk you through the next steps and we’ll move at a pace that respects the life you’re living.
“What if I don’t know what to say?”
That’s completely okay. You don’t need to come in with a plan. You can show up exactly as you are — tired, overwhelmed, unsure — and I’ll help guide us from there.
“How soon can I start?”
Usually within the next week, if you want to start soon. Once you reach out, I’ll let you know what openings I have and we’ll find something that fits your schedule.
“Do I have to commit to long-term therapy?”
No. You choose what feels right. Some people come short-term for support through a rough season. Others stay longer because it becomes the one place they can finally breathe freely, the choice is up to you.
“How much does Therapy cost?”
When we're a good fit after your complimentary 15-minute consultation, we'll schedule your intake evaluation.
The intake evaluation is a one-time fee of $199. This first session is more than just getting to know each other. It's where I take the time to understand your history, your current concerns, and what you want to get out of therapy. Afterward, I complete the clinical documentation and develop an individualized treatment plan that serves as the roadmap for our work together.
After the intake, ongoing individual therapy sessions are $181 per therapy hour, with each session lasting 50 minutes.
My goal is to make sure we begin with a clear understanding of where you are, where you want to go, and how we'll get there together.
“Do you take insurance?”
I do get asked about insurance quite a bit. While I don't accept insurance or participate in any insurance networks off-platform, I can provide what's called a Superbill.
A Superbill is an itemized receipt that you can submit to your insurance company to request reimbursement for out-of-network therapy. You would pay me directly after each session, and I'm happy to provide a Superbill after every session or on whatever schedule works best for you, such as monthly.
I do want to be transparent that insurance reimbursement is never guaranteed. Every insurance plan is different, and your insurance company decides whether they'll reimburse you, how much they'll reimburse, and how many sessions they'll cover.
It's also important to know that insurance typically requires a mental health diagnosis to establish medical necessity before they'll consider covering therapy. Once a diagnosis is submitted, the insurance company may review your treatment and determine the amount or duration of coverage.
Many of my clients who choose to submit Superbills do receive some level of reimbursement, but I never want anyone to count on it. I encourage clients to think of reimbursement as a bonus rather than something to rely on.
If being reimbursed by insurance is financially necessary for you to access therapy with me, I'd much rather help you find a therapist who is in-network with your insurance plan. My priority is making sure you're able to get the support you need without adding unnecessary financial stress.
If you're comfortable investing in out-of-network therapy and would like to pursue possible reimbursement, I'm happy to provide the documentation you'll need.
