I do not file insurance for clients. I am an out-of-network provider. This means when you come in for a session you pay the full fee, but can self-file for reimbursement from your insurance provider. The reimbursement rate is based on your out-of-network mental health benefits, which can be found by calling the number on the back of your insurance card. If you choose to self-file I will send you a superbill, which has all of the essential information for you to send in to your insurance provider in order to receive reimbursement. Reimbursement checks are generally mailed directly to the client. If you are a client of a student intern you are not able to self-file for reimbursement.

My session fee is $145/50 minute session and $125/30 minute session. Sessions are 50 minutes unless otherwise discussed and agreed upon. Student interns see clients for a reduced fee and offer a sliding scale.

After the first initial appointment, I typically suggest starting therapy once a week or once every other week. Sometimes this plan varies, but I have found the more often I am able to see a client in the beginning stages of the therapy process the faster we are able to build a strong therapeutic alliance and often times progress is made more quickly.

I am in the office the following days/times:
Mondays: 8:15-2:00 (last appointment starts at 1:00)
Tuesdays: 8:30-3:00 (last appointment starts at 2:00)
Wednesdays: 11:00-5:30 (last appointment starts at 4:30)
Thursdays: 8:15-2:00 (last appointment starts at 1:00)
Fridays: Times vary. I reserve Fridays for testing appointments.
Student interns seeing clients may have a different schedule than the one listed above.

The first session is an initial intake appointment where I will ask the client (and/or parents depending on the client’s age) questions to get to know them better. I will ask about what has brought them to the decision to start therapy and their past experience(s) in therapy. I will also ask about things like sleep, diet, exercise, social-life, hobbies, etc. I will take time to explain my therapeutic approach at this first appointment and will go over confidentiality and when I am obligated to report issues of safety. We will also discuss our plan and schedule future appointment(s) at this time.

New clients must email or call to set up an initial appointment. Established clients are able to request appointments through their client portal. Appointment requests can be made up to 2 months in advance and will be accepted or denied by your provider depending on availability. If an appointment request is denied, your provider will contact you with alternate scheduling options.

The testing protocol varies depending on the individual client’s needs. The process always starts with an initial intake assessment, and concludes with a test results session where the testing results are reviewed with the client/parent(s) in their entirety. A comprehensive report is also provided to the client/parent(s) for their records or to provide to their doctor, school, etc. These are both standard 50-minute sessions at the regular session fee.
Insurance providers typically do not cover this type of testing; however, coverage depends on your individual plan. I always recommend contacting your insurance provider to see if they have any preferred providers in the area who are covered under your plan.
The testing process can typically be completed within 4 to 6 weeks of scheduling the intake assessment.
