Frequently Asked Questions
How long may I expect to be in therapy?
There is no definitive answer to this question. Though it's safe to say more than a session or two is necessary to make any headway on what brings someone in, some folks find a few sessions are sufficient, while others choose to continue longer-term.
Often folks choose to continue to work with me through challenges as they arise, while others choose to meet on a consistent basis in order to dive deeper into overarching patterns and unpack the greater impact. There isn't necessarily a correct answer, but we can collaborate together to help you make the ultimate choice for yourself.
I am committed to your healing journey, whether that is with me or anyone else. If at any point in therapy it feels like progress is not being made, or there is another modality outside of my scope that could be more beneficial, I am happy to provide additional referrals.
How frequently may I expect to come to therapy?
To start out, I recommend meeting weekly so that I can get to know you and we can make good progress toward your goals of therapy.
As you notice improvement and we approach the end of treatment, we can reduce the frequency of sessions to biweekly, and eventually to an as-needed basis.
I value the commitment of money and time that each individual makes in order to do therapy, and I, in turn, am committed to do my best to ensure you see results from our work together.
Why should I invest in therapy?
Therapy is a worth-while investment in yourself. You deserve to gain insight into your feelings, patterns, and who you are so that you feel more emotionally equipped to access the best version of yourself.
While often the process of unpacking painful patterns can be uncomfortable, it can also have such a profound impact in your life, and on the lives of your loved ones as well.
I have been credentialed with insurance panels in the past in an effort to make therapy more affordable and accessible, but I found that all too often my clients were still getting billed for higher than expected rates due to the variance of coverage of mental health benefits across insurance plans.
Given the unpredictability of insurance coverage, I've chosen to charge out of pocket to avoid any surprise bills landing in your mailbox. This also allows me to offer more individualized care to each of my clients.
Why don't you accept insurance?
