f.a.q

At this time, I provide evening/after school/late evening times, Monday through Wednesday.

Our first session, often called the Intake/evaluation appointment, is $225. This involves us discussing what is bringing you in for services, discussing your history with mental health, and developing goals and a treatment plan for future sessions if we both feel that we are a good fit for each other.

Follow up sessions are typically 50-60 minutes for $150 for individuals and $180 for relationship counseling.

No. Currently, I am not INN with insurance companies. I provide Superbills for reimbursements for either the client to submit or myself via Thrizer.

This is a hard one to answer because therapy is such a personal decision! Often time, people who are seeking therapy are at a place where they are tired of dealing with mental health struggles. They want to develop skills to process the craziness of life. Perhaps they had a recent traumatic stressor or change. Regardless, therapy is right for anyone who wants to learn more about themselves in a safe environment without feeling judged. 

Fit is so important in therapy! It is not uncommon for you to have a mismatch with someone. Fortunately, I am working on a good referral network with the therapist community in North Carolina that I can provide you if we have to part ways.

In 2022, health care providers are able to provide clients who do not have insurance/not using insurance as estimate of the bill for medical services.

• You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of services.
• Health care provider provide you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask for a Good Faith Estimate before scheduling your appointment. 
• If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.
• Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.

For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call 1-800-985-3059.

The following are clients I am not a good fit for:

• Have an active state of substance dependence. This does not include people in recovery.
• Treatment is mandated by court.
• Actively involved in a legal or custody case. I do not testify for these types of issues.
• High conflict couples with a current history of domestic violence.
• Struggles involving sex addiction.
• Presenting concerns primarily involving Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI).
• Multiple hospitalizations in a calendar year.

At this time, I am not offering in-person sessions.
