Frequently Asked Questions

What is the cost of working with you?

The cost of your treatment truly depends on your unique needs but services typically range from $100-$130/session.

Do you take insurance and how does that work?

I currently accept Aetna or PEHP.   An additional cost saving option is to use your Health Savings Account (HSA).  I am happy to provide you with a receipt for services (called a superbill) to submit to your insurance.  It may be accepted as an out-of-network claim.   

Every plan is different so call your insurance to ask about your benefits. Some helpful questions you can ask them include:

  • Is there a deductible that has to be met before you reimburse for out-of-network therapy sessions? If so, what is it and how close am I to meeting that?
  • Is there a limit to how many sessions you will reimburse for?
Do you have evening appointments?

Yes! Evening appointments are available 5:30-9 p.m. 

How often will we meet?

Typically, we schedule weekly sessions at least for the first 4-6 weeks and many clients choose to move into a bi-weekly schedule as they progress.  Know that the first appointment is usually the hardest.

It is important to understand that you get the best results from our work together if you stay consistent and actively participate in the process.  Depending on your specific needs, our work together can be short-term (6-10 sessions), for a specific issue, or longer-term (20+ sessions), to deal with more difficult patterns or your desire for more personal development.

Why do people hire a therapist? What are signs I should consider therapy?

Everyone goes through challenging situations in life, and while you successfully navigated difficulties you’ve faced, life and circumstances change.  There is a lot of chronic stress… difficulties which come one after another preventing you from being able to catch your breath.  Difficulties may be sudden or last for years.  You may find it difficult to accept or adapt to whatever your ‘new normal’ is.  You may need courage, encouragement or skills to leverage shifting in the right direction.

 

People seeking therapy are courageous. They may not see it but deep down, they are ‘exhausted seekers’, hopeful life doesn’t have to be this hard.  Often

 

  • They need a second pair of eyes on a situation, an ‘outside perspective’,
  • They have reactions they don’t like but reactions such as anger, anxiety and strong feelings seem automatic. They have no idea what to do.
  • They face losses or transitions especially those impacting their social identities as bosses, partners, parents or employees. They face career shifts, relationship ruptures, medical challenges, experiences of social stigma/harm… all at the same time!
  • They have fears, behaviors, thoughts or negative opinions about themselves they feel powerless to shift.

 

 I can help you understand your circumstances and design interventions delivered in manageable, paced tasks so you can succeed.
