FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Everything You Need To
Know Before Getting Started.

Whether you're wondering what therapy is like, how scheduling works, or whether
we're a good fit, you'll find answers to many common questions below.

  • All services are provided via Telehealth using videoconferencing platforms. I utilize an EHR (electronic health record) system with this capability included. I am able to provide services to individuals who live in Pennsylvania, New Hampshire, and any of the PsyPact participating states.

  • I offer online sessions to make counseling more feasible for my clients.

    The requirements for online video sessions include:

    • Laptop, desktop computer, tablet, or smartphone​

    • Web camera

    • High speed internet connection (Cable or DSL)

    • Privacy (a space where you can be alone, without interruption)

    For online video sessions, you will click the link that is emailed or texted to you to start your video session.

  • While I look forward to the possibility of in-person sessions in the future, this is not something I offer at this time.

  • Before your first session, I'll send you forms to complete through your patient portal. I'll review them beforehand, and during our first session we'll discuss your background, what brings you to therapy, and develop a plan to help you move forward with clarity.

  • Therapy works best when clients initially meet weekly which allows for deeper connection and momentum. We’ll continually evaluate your progress and as you begin to feel relief and reach your goals, our sessions can become less frequent.

  • Initial assessment- $390

    Upon scheduling, you will complete intake forms which I review prior to our meeting. We begin getting to know one another as you share your story and we explore what may be contributing to your struggles while beginning to plan ways to improve these areas.

    50-minute session- $265

    Together we create a path for healing and use our time exploring your perspectives, identifying new ways of thinking and behaving, and processing the learning and change that occurs.

  • You may access your account through your patient portal. Payment is due at the time of service. Currently accepting credit, debit, FSA, or HSA cards.

  • No. I can provide an itemized invoice known as a superbill for you to submit to your insurance company for out-of-network services should you choose to. Please check with your insurance company about this as possible reimbursement is dependent upon your plan.

  • I do not provide 24-hour or on-call emergency services. If you are experiencing a life-threatening emergency, or if you need to speak with someone immediately, please call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.

    You may also call the following local and national numbers that are staffed with counselors to assist you in emergencies 24 hours per day, 7 days per week.

Good Faith Estimate

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical and mental health care will cost. Under the law, health care providers need to give clients who don’t have insurance, or who are not using insurance, an estimate of the expected charges for medical services.

You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare services, including psychotherapy services. You can ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service. If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. You will receive a copy of your Good Faith Estimate.

For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises.
