FAQ’s about working with me

(I’ve tried to make it easy for humans, not just smart dogs!:)

 
  • Schedule a free 15 minute phone consultation! When you click my “Schedule Now” link, you’ll be taken directly to my calendar to schedule a time that works for you to discuss your needs. No more playing phone tag! Get started getting the help you need ASAP!

  • I’ll ask some questions to get an idea of what you need and I’ll share a little about how I work. This is not a counseling session. It’s a chance for both of us to get a feel for whether working together is a good fit. After this phone call, we will usually have one of a few outcomes:

    1. We schedule your initial appointment so you can get started! I am usually able to schedule new clients within 1 week or 2 weeks at the most.

    2. We determine working together isn’t the best fit for your needs and I help point you in the right direction with some referrals to other professionals that I believe can help you.

    3. One or both of us needs more information to determine if working together is a good fit. We will clarify what information is needed and how we will follow up in order to get you on the right path as soon as possible.

  • Right now I don’t take any insurance but plan to take Aetna, United and BCBS in the near future. I can also provide you with a superbill which is a document you can submit to your insurance for potential reimbursement.

  • Counseling sessions with me are 60 minutes long. The whole hour is yours!

  • Before your first session, I will have you complete intake paperwork online so that we get started right away during that first session. Initial sessions focus on me understanding your needs and strengths better, getting an idea of your mental health and other history, and making a plan for counseling moving forward.

  • If you’re spending the time to look through different websites and these questions, you are probably at a point where you would benefit from support!:) You know yourself best and if you feel you need some extra help, then there’s your answer! I think everyone can benefit from counseling at various points in their lives. So, if you’re having a hard time coping with life’s challenges, struggling with relationships, or even your faith, maybe it’s time to find out what you can get from counseling!

  • $120 per 60 minute session.

  • I don’t have evening and weekend appointments available. Part of my self-care to be an effective therapist is to have that time to spend with family. Thanks for your understanding with this!

  • I only offer online sessions at this time. Sessions are provided via a secure telehealth platform. When you schedule with me, you will be given a link for your session.
