Do you offer short-term or long-term therapy?

I offer both short-term and long-term therapy. If you have a specific goal you would like to work on, I am happy to work with you short-term. However, I prefer to work with clients long-term at it allows for rich and depthful work.

Can I work with you bi-weekly instead of weekly?

I start out with every client on a weekly cadence and will collaborate to reduce frequency if appropriate for your need and there are no safety concerns. I do not offer my sliding scale to bi-weekly clients.

What is a good faith estimate?

Under the No Surprises Act (H.R.133), you have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” that explains your mental health care costs. I will be providing a Good Faith Estimate along with your initial paperwork for my services. Here is more information about the law.

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical 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 bill for medical items and services. You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees. The Estimate must be furnished within one business day of scheduling a service to be provided in three business days, or within three business days of scheduling a service to be provided in at least 10 business days. You can also ask your healthcare provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or 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.
