Frequently asked questions.

  • Therapy can help you navigate through your thoughts and emotions, providing valuable insights and strategies to achieve your personal calm. I specialize in helping clients unlock their full potential and achieve their individual goals for a life worth living. Through informational and supportive sessions, we can work together to explore your aspirations, tackle any roadblocks, and craft a clear path towards success.

  • The timeline for therapy is unique for each person and isn't easy to predict due to individual differences in needs and experiences. Therapy typically unfolds across 4 distinct phases:

    1. Assessment, Treatment Planning, and Rapport Building

    2. Emotional Processing and Skill Building

    3. Maintenance

    4. Termination

    While it's generally advised to commit to a span of 8-12 weeks minimum, the duration can evolve based on personal progress and goals.

  • During your first appointment, we will review your intake documentation and clarify any questions you may have. We will then spend time getting to know you, what brings you to therapy, and what your treatment goals are. I will focus on understanding how I can support you on your journey, and building rapport with you.

    Please keep in mind that intake documentation is expected to be completed at least 24 hours prior to your appointment

    • Connection: Do you feel comfortable talking to them? Do you feel heard and understood?

    • Experience: Do they have experience dealing with the issues you want to work on?

    • Feedback: Have you seen progress or felt supported in your sessions?

    • Trust: Do you trust their guidance and feel they have your best interests at heart?

    Finding the perfect therapist is a personal journey. The right therapist is key for successful treatment. Trust your gut and find someone who feels like a good fit.

  • If you are not utilizing insurance to cover the cost of therapy, 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 patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy 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. Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
