Commonly Asked Questions

Individual Therapy incl. Autism & AuDHD Assessments
Online individual therapy occurs weekly or every-other-week via video call, depending on the needs of the client. Clients can eventually transition to monthly or as-needed visits.
Short term (less than 6 months) and long-term therapeutic support is available.
These sessions will be scheduled as 45 or 60 minute sessions - depending on the client needs and any potential treatment modality requirements.
Initial intakes are typically 75-minute sessions so we can review informed consent, confidentiality, discuss hopes for treatment, and briefly explore relevant personal and mental health history.
$200 for 45 minutes / $250 for 60 minutes / $300 for 75 minutes

Therapy for More than One Person aka Family Therapy
As a systems focused therapist, I offer clients the option of combining individual therapy with family therapy to bring in key attachment and support folks in their life to sessions from time to time.
Family systems help support the client in their work between sessions.
Clients define 'family’ on their terms and family sessions may include a partner, close friend, chosen family member, or biological family member.

I accept debit, credit, and HSA/FSA cards via my online secure payment system.
Clients may choose to have services paid for by a third-party such as a family member and this can be established during the Intake Session. Third parties are NOT granted access to clinical information, only information regarding service date, charge, and payment policies.
Clients utilizing Insurance Benefits as a form of payment are responsible for keeping the therapist updated on insurance changes.
Clients utilizing Out of Network Insurance Benefits via SuperBill are responsible for submitting claims on their own - unless other arrangements have been made. Reimbursify is available as a platform for clients looking for an option to submit Out of Network Claims.
