Payment can be made through Zelle, PayPal and Venmo on the day services are rendered. The client will be provided a superbill at the end of the month for out-of-network insurance reimbursement.

Currently, I do not accept insurance. All sessions are billed out-of-network. However, once a client hits their deductible, co-insurance will often pay 60-100% of the session fee. Most clients find that it actually saves them money over the course of treatment paying this way rather than selecting from a limited pool of in-network therapist with more general experience. The therapist will provide a superbill at the end of the month to submit to the insurance provider.

After the initial consultation the client will be offered a schedule of sessions and the therapist will set aside the same hour or hours each week specifically for you. Issues around scheduling, fees, and framework for therapy will be discussed at intake. This therapist believes in modeling healthy boundaries and work-life balance and will see clients only Monday through Friday. Should a satisfying schedule not be established, the therapist will offer to place the client on a waiting list and contact them as soon as an opening is available.

It is important to establish that the therapist's way of working and the expectations of the client are aligned. Goodness of fit is very important and has been shown to be a decisive factor in the outcome of all forms of psychotherapy. I offer a free phone consultation to address any questions or concerns about starting therapy. Consultation requests made over email or phone will normally be responded to in 24-48 hours. If all concerns about starting therapy are satisfactory addressed the therapist will set a time for the initial session and begin the assessment process.

All communication in the therapy as well as written record of the treatment will remain confidential. The only exception to this rule is the therapist's lawful obligation to break confidentiality should it be reasonable to assume that the patient or someone acquainted with an individual in treatment is at serious risk for physical harm, or to intervene to protect the rights and safety of a minor as a mandated reporter of childhood neglect and abuse. Requests for information as part of a legal proceeding, of from an employer for temporary disability claims, will be made in writing and accompanied by a subpoena or signed authorization for release of information. In practice such exceptions are rare.
