Setting up an Appointment:
How do I get  started?

At this time, I'm not taking new clients, but I always like to help others find the right support. I also have a waiting list for those who feel that they can wait for therapy. I am also running a few psychotherapy groups that you might be interested in. If this is the case, click below for an appointment!

Once you make a free 20-minute appointment, I will send you a very quick questionnaire to fill out before our mini consultation. Your consultation will help us decide whether I'm the right therapist for you or for your family!

​

If we are a good fit and we decide to work together, we can set up your initial appointment during our call. I will then send you access to your client portal. Here you will fill out your intake questionnaire and other office documents. It is super easy and convenient!

Your Client Portal Benefits

  • Secure messaging between sessions

  • Intake documentation available prior to your first appointment

  • Shared documents/assessments

  • Access to billing documents

During your First Appointment

The first appointment is usually parents only. Before your appointment, I will make sure to review all your documentation, including any assessments, IEP's, 504 Plans, etc. The meeting will take anywhere from an hour to an hour and a half. Here we will discuss what your child is coming to therapy for, goals, areas of struggle. and  family history. 

​

After this appointment we will set up a time to meet with your child, either in person or through telehealth.

Rates  & Insurance: You are Worth the  Investment

I know! It’s so hard to spend your hard earned money on yourself. But therapy is an investment for your mental wellbeing and overall health. In therapy you will discover yourself and build skills that will help you out in the real world, making you feel happier, more confident, and excited about life. You'll discover things you never thought you were capable of before. You're worth it! 

I got the Extra Mile

Again, let’s talk about investing in yourself; I will make it easy and convenient for you to get to where you want to be! These are the extra services I can provide:

​

  • Easy Access to Teletherapy 

  • Coordination of Care with Other Providers

  • Automatic Appointment Reminders

  • Personalized Client Portal

  • Secure Messaging

  • Biller Who Can Get You Reimbursement

Initial Sessions: 60-75 minutes

The initial session will focus on getting to know you and developing a plan for therapy. Before your first appointment, I will review all of the paperwork you have completed, including any assessments or testing. During your appointment I will ask you a variety of questions, including history, symptoms, and why you are seeking therapy. This will help us create goals to get the most out your therapy.

​

Note: I usually ask the parents or legal guardians of teenagers to be involved during the initial session to discuss the limits of psychotherapy and to provide any background information that might be important in helping your teen succeed in therapy.

Insurance

Out-of-network Coverage

At this time I am an out-of-network provider. Call me for a quick walk through of how I can help you use this coverage. The process is pretty easy and most of the time all you will have to pay for is your deductible and your co-pay.

Why some people don't want to go through Insurance

The reason why some choose to pay out of pocket is very personal. Sometimes individuals feel like they don't want a diagnosis or record for a third party. This is a personal decision and it will be completely up to you. ​
