FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

I offer prospective clients a 15-minute phone consultation to determine if we are a good fit. You can also check out my blog posts to get a sense of who I am and how I approach clients. Finding the right therapist is critical and if we determine that your needs and my skill set aren’t a match, I will offer you referrals to colleagues that might be a better fit.

I am in-network with Cigna. I am in the process of getting on panel with several other major providers. If I am considered an out of network provider, I will create a SuperBill for you, which you can then submit to your provider for any reimbursement you may be entitled to.

After your appointment is scheduled, you will get a link to fill out new client paperwork. Included in the paperwork is a consent for treatment, a HIPPA acknowledgement form and a client history form. The more detailed your history form, the better for me to get a snapshot of you, your life and your goals for therapy.

We will discuss where you are currently and what your goals are for therapy.

Most clients benefit from weekly sessions at first, after a while, which we typically assess if we can move to bi-weekly.

I am a board certified Licensed Professional Counselor – Supervisor (LPC-S). I have a master’s degree in Counseling Psychology and as a Supervisor, I am licensed to train interns that are starting their journey in the mental health field.

Yes, I do offer TeleHealth sessions. To book one of these sessions, go to the “Request Appointment” page and select a “Remote Counseling” session when you are booking.

Any appointment not cancelled within one (1) business day of the scheduled time will be subject to the full fee.

I will change the “location” of your visit in my electronic health record to “video” and you will receive a link that will give you access to the session. The video platform that I use is HIPAA compliant, which means it adheres to all data and information privacy laws.

Don’t worry about it! It’s important to have a private space in which to have your virtual appointment but if you need to tend to your children during the sessions it’s OK! We’re all in this together and we’re doing the best we can.

Short answer – Yes! Below is a list of insurance plans and their stance on virtual visits: Cigna – Covered United Healthcare – Covered Oscar – Covered (they follow United Healthcare) Compsych – Covered BCBS – They are still working out their policy on this, but I believe it will be covered Private Pay – Covered

For anyone who is unsure about virtual visits, I can offer you a 15 minute “check in” free of charge via virtual visit so you can try it out before agreeing to a full session.

You can. Technically I will need to “discharge” you from my care if you choose to pause therapy. Once the crisis has passed feel free to reach out and if I have room on my caseload, I will gladly work with you again.

Please reach out to me and we will work something out.
