Frequently Asked Questions

Do you accept insurance?

I am not in-network with any insurance providers. This allows for our sessions to move at your own unique pace. Depending on your policy, you may have out of network mental health benefits that could provide possible reimbursement for our sessions. 

What do I need to ask my insurance company about out-of-network mental health coverage?
First, ask your insurance if you have an out-of-network mental health policy. Let them know that you will be seeing an outpatient Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) for 45 minute individual sessions (CPT Code: 90834). You may also want to ask:

• What is my out of network deductible?

• What is my co-insurance rate?

• Is there a limit to how many sessions are allowed per year?

I’m new to therapy, what can I expect?

Our initial session together will be 60 minutes. Thereafter, I offer weekly 45 minute sessions. During the first 2-3 appointments we will focus on building a connection, history taking, and establishing intentions or goals for the treatment moving forward. People often utilize therapy as a tool to:

• Enhance understanding of how their past impacts present recurring thoughts, emotions and patterns of behavior

• Reduce feelings of anxiety, depression or other symptoms that impact sense of self or day to day ease 

• Develop a greater tolerance for difficult emotions

• Explore identity, wants, needs, and relationship patterns

• Enhance confidence in career related endeavors and dilemmas 

• Have a space that is just for you to be heard, witnessed, and supported in whatever life transitions may be occurring 

If you’re not sure what you “want” out of therapy, that’s ok! We can try to figure that out together during the initial stages of working together. Or feel free to reach out and I would be happy to discuss any other questions you have about the process.
