Insurance
While I do not take insurance, I am an eligible, out-of-network provider. My services may be covered in full or in part by your health insurance or employee benefit plan. Please check your coverage by asking:
- What mental health insurance benefits do I have?
- Will I be reimbursed, if I choose to meet with an out-of-network mental health provider?
- How much will I be reimbursed per session and how many sessions per year does my insurance cover?
I do accept some clients at a reduced fee. I am also willing to create flexible meeting schedules for clients who are on a limited budget. See below ("Session Structure"). Or for more information, please contact me directly.
Payment
Payment is expected at the time of the appointment.
Office Hours
My office hours are: Monday to Friday (8:30am to 10:00pm) and Sunday mornings (8:30 to 12:00pm).
Session Structure (Frequency, Duration and Location)
Good psychotherapy responds to your personal needs and circumstances. For this reason I offer clients the possibility of flexibly arranging the structure (the frequency, duration and location) of our sessions when it seems fitting and indicated.
While some clients prefer (and often need) a weekly meeting of 45 minutes, others require something different. For example, some clients need only a few sessions of short-term "crisis" counseling, rather than longer-term, insight or growth-oriented therapy. Some clients want to meet twice-weekly, while others wish to meet on a bi-weekly or monthly basis. Some clients choose to meet with me for 30 minutes and others for 90 minutes. And finally, some clients prefer to talk on the phone, use Google chat, or even meet in their home (when they are disabled).
I am open to discussing and establishing a consistent and responsible therapeutic framework to suit your particular needs and circumstances. I invite you to talk with me so that we can determine together what will work best to respond effectively to your presenting problem, needs and resources.
Cancellation Policy
If you do not attend your scheduled therapy appointment, and you have not notified me at least 48 hours in advance, you are expected to pay the full cost of the session.
