What happens during the free consultation?

The consultation is an opportunity to briefly discuss what's bringing you to therapy, what you're hoping to accomplish, and whether my approach seems like a good fit.

What should I expect in my first session?

Your first session, otherwise known as, intake session, is typically a 45-50 minute session. This is where we get to know each other and discuss what brought you to therapy. We will also create your personalized treatment plan, which is like a roadmap for the therapeutic process.

Accepted Answer

I work with individuals, couples, and families. I work with ages 12 and up.

Question 4

How do I know if you're the right therapist for me?

Question 7

Do you have a Good Faith Estimate?

Accepted Answer

Under Section 2799B-6 of the Public Health Service Act, health care providers and health care facilities are required to inform individuals who are not enrolled in a plan or coverage or a Federal health care program, or not seeking to file a claim with their plan or coverage both orally and in writing of their ability, upon request or at the time of scheduling health care items and services, to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” of expected charges.

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost. Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services. You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees. Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service. If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
