Question 1

What happens in the first session?

Accepted Answer

The first session is mainly about getting to know each other. I'll ask what brings you to therapy, a bit about your background, and what you're hoping to get out of it. You'll also have time to ask me anything and see if my approach feels right for you. There's no pressure — you set the pace.

Question 2

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

Accepted Answer

Research shows that the fit between you and your therapist is one of the biggest factors in whether therapy works. That's why I offer a free initial consultation — so we can talk briefly, you can ask questions, and we can both decide if it feels like a good match. No commitment required.

Question 3

How much does therapy cost?

Accepted Answer

Please visit the Fees & Insurance page for current rates. I'm happy to go over costs and payment options during our free consultation call.

Question 4

Do you accept insurance?

Accepted Answer

Please see the Fees & Insurance page for current information on accepted plans. If I'm out of network with your insurance, I can provide a superbill — a receipt you can submit to your insurance for possible reimbursement. I'm happy to walk you through this during our consultation.

Question 5

Do you offer online (telehealth) therapy?

Accepted Answer

Yes, I offer secure video sessions for clients across the state. Many people find telehealth just as effective as in-person therapy — with the added ease of joining from home, your office, or wherever you are. Sessions use a HIPAA-compliant video platform.

Question 6

How long does therapy usually take?

Accepted Answer

It depends on your goals. Some people do well with 8–12 focused sessions. Others prefer longer-term support. We'll talk about what makes sense for you early on, and you can always re-evaluate as we go. There's no set timeline you have to stick to.

Question 7

Is everything I share confidential?

Accepted Answer

Yes. What you share in therapy stays between us. There are a few legal exceptions — for example, if there's a serious safety concern — and I'll go over those clearly in our first session. Your privacy matters and I take it seriously.

Question 8

What is your cancellation policy?

Accepted Answer

I ask for at least 24 hours' notice to cancel or reschedule. This gives me time to offer that slot to someone else. Late cancellations or no-shows may be charged the full session fee.
