DO YOU ACCEPT INSURANCE?

I’m private pay only and do not work with insurance companies directly. I'm happy to email

you a superbill after each session that you can

submit to your insurance company for

possible/partial reimbursement.

HOW DOES THE WAITING LIST WORK?

Once a therapy spot opens, I email the next person on the waiting list. If that day/time works for them, we schedule the consult prior to the first therapy session. If that day/time doesn't work, they can choose to remain on the waitlist and I reach out when another spot opens

(and we schedule the consult then).

DO YOU OFFER A SLIDING-SCALE?

Yes. I value providing accessible/affordable therapy and have quite a few

sliding scale spaces.

All sliding scale spaces are full.

Current rate: $200 per 60 minute session

HOW LONG WILL I BE ON THE WAITING LIST?

This is a difficult question to answer

and I wish I could be specific...

The waitlist is currently long and therapy spots don't open very often. However, by the time a spot does open up, often some people on the list have found another therapist. My best guess is that for someone joining the waitlist in April 2023, a spot likely won't be available until 2024.

WHY DO YOU OFFER A FREE CONSULT?

I value your time, so before we schedule your first session, let's see if we're a good fit.

My intention is to make the consult as informal and comfortable as possible. It's simply an opportunity for us to get to know each other...

We'll chat via video or phone for about 15 minutes to find out if my experience and approach is a match for your needs.
