Frequently Asked Questions
What is therapy?
For me therapy is a collaborative process. We work together to explore thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in a supportive, safe, non-judgmental space. It’s a place to gain insight about yourself, develop coping tools to be a human out in the world, and make lasting meaningful change in your life.
How do I know if I need therapy?
People come to therapy for many reasons. It could be stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, trauma, life transitions, or simply a desire for personal growth. Whether you're struggling or simply want to better understand yourself, therapy can help you feel more empowered, balanced, and supported. I would be happy to discuss if therapy feels like the right next step for you over a 15 min. introduction call.
How often does therapy happen?
I generally see my clients once weekly. At times it is needed for therapy to happen twice weekly, which I particularly enjoy. I have a few bi-weekly available spots on Friday’s, that are available after we have worked at least three months together weekly.
What is the cancellation policy?
Each client is allowed up to 6 cancellations per year at no charge, provided a minimum of 24 hours’ notice is given. These six cancellations are intended to offer flexibility while maintaining the integrity of your commitment.
However, similar to paying for a subscription or reserving a space, your scheduled session time is held exclusively for you. After the 6 complimentary cancellations have been used, any additional cancellations -regardless of 24-hour notice- will be charged at 75% of your current rate. This ensures I can continue to cover operational costs, hold your regular time slot, and sustain the practice as a whole.
Thank you for your understanding and commitment.
What is a Superbill?
If your therapist doesn't accept your insurance, you can pay out-of-pocket and then submit a superbill to get partial reimbursement through out-of-network benefits. I use Mentaya for superbills, making the process easy. Not every insurance covers out-of-network, so it is best to contact them first and find out if they do.
Do you offer Sliding Scale payments?
I reserve a limited number of sliding scale openings. These spots exist based on need and availability, and only for full-time Clients. If my full fee does not feel accessible to you at this time, please reach out and we will collaborate to find a fee that works for both of us.
