In my practice, I strive to provide collaborative and feedback informed care so that you feel good about your treatment. I have experience with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Feedback Informed Care, Interpersonal Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Trauma-Informed Care, and often utilize Seeking Safety in my work with others. Also, I use cultural humility to really understand where the person is coming from, what their needs are, and how to best support them on their journey towards meeting their treatment goals.
What You Can Expect From Our First Session
Our first session will last about 45 minutes long (the remainder of the hour is for completing documentation). We will complete an “intake” assessment which may feel more like an interview. This helps me collect information about why you are wanting to start therapy now, any symptoms, and begin to think about the directions we can move in. I will also provide a diagnosis (if there is one) which is necessary for those who are using insurance.
Intake sessions can feel very fast-paced – few times have I used a second session to complete the intake, but it has happened before if there is more for us to get through. I’m careful to hold the necessary space and be flexible to your needs, while still providing enough time to get through this initial step. Once the intake assessment is complete, we will begin to meet for “regular” sessions.
Therapy Rates
Starting from $0 (depending on if you have insurance) – $250 / hour. My cash pay rate is $150-250 per session. If you have health insurance, you might be fully covered, or be responsible for paying a co-pay only.
If after our free 15-minute consultation we decide to move forward with setting up an intake appointment, I will send you an electronic invitation to the platforms I partner with
- Simple Practice – if you have not visited yet. This platform is where I store my notes and also allows me to send you files.
- Headway – this platform does my insurance billing (this is a one-time event). There you will be instructed to enter your insurance details so they can determine how much you’ll pay out-of-pocket for each session.
Both platforms are HIPAA compliant.
Sliding Scale Fees
I have a limited number of spots reserved for sliding scale fees for folks without insurance coverage (or have limited coverage). Please contact me directly if you are interested in learning more about this.
Starting from $50.
