Frequently Asked Questions

How long will my adolescent/teen have to be in therapy?

The duration of therapy has a wide range depending on their needs and the nature of the concerns. Sessions are usually held on a weekly basis but can be adjusted based on their needs.

Am I, as a parent, involved in the therapeutic process?

The degree of parental involvement varies based on the needs of your child. Therapists may work with parents to understand family dynamics, provide guidance on supporting the child, and offer parenting strategies. I will often have a session with parents every 1.5 - 2 months to check-in about therapeutic goals and progress.

Will I be able to know what my child talks about?

Confidentiality in the therapeutic relationship with adolescents/teens is crucial as it creates a safe environment for them to process and ask questions. However, therapists may share information with parents or caregivers if they believe the child is at risk of harm or if needed in the therapeutic process.

Will I get an update about how my child is doing?

I will often have a session with parents every 1.5 - 2 months to check-in about therapeutic goals and progress.

Do you take insurance?

I am an out-of-network provider. This means I do not bill insurance directly, but can provide you with a superbill to submit to your insurance for potential reimbursement. I recommend contacting your insurance company to understand your out-of-network benefits

Questions to ask your insurance:

What are my out of network benefits for outpatient mental (sometimes called behavioral) health?
What is my out of network deductible?
How much coverage do I get? (How much will insurance cover?
Do I have a limit on the number of sessions I am covered for?

How long are sessions?

Sessions are typically 45 minutes for minors and 50 minutes for adults

What is your fee per session?

Sessions are $200 per session. I offer a select number of sliding scale/reduced fee spots based on income and availability, however these sessions are limited and considered on a case by case basis.

What is your cancellation policy?

Please be courteous with your communication and notify me at least 24 hours in advance should you need to reschedule or cancel. I uphold a 24-hour cancellation policy which means if you late cancel or miss an appointment, you will be responsible for paying the standard fee of your session
