FAQS

Starting Therapy

Starting therapy can feel like a big step, but it’s also a meaningful opportunity to focus on your well-being. Below are some common questions I hear from clients that can help you understand what getting started looks like.

  • Yes! I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation. Feel free to reach out to set up a time to chat—this is a chance to ask any questions about therapy and see if working together feels like the right fit for you.

  • First sessions often look a little different—they’re a time for me to ask questions about your current situation and history while also getting to know your goals for therapy. This session is a space to share, ask questions, and see if working together feels like the right fit.

  • Scheduling is easy! If you’re a new client, you can fill out the contact form to request a free 15-minute phone consultation or to start therapy, and I’ll get back to you to find a time that works. Current clients can use the client portal to request appointments or make scheduling changes.

Fees & Policies

If your insurance isn’t accepted, you don’t have insurance, or you’d simply prefer not to use it, I offer private pay and limited sliding-scale options. One of the benefits of private pay is greater privacy—there’s no required diagnosis, and your insurance won’t have access to your progress notes or treatment plans.

If you do choose to use insurance, a diagnostic assessment is required. Be sure to check with your provider to understand your mental health benefits.

  • $250

  • $160-$200
