Verify Your Insurance Coverage

Before beginning therapy it is important to verify your insurance coverage and costs as insurance plans vary greatly in terms of deductibles, licensing requirements, and out-of-network benefits. Contact your insurance provider prior to your first session and ask the following questions:

  1. Do I have mental health insurance benefits?

  2. What is my deductible and have I met it yet?

  3. After I reach my deductible, what is my co-pay?

  4. Are there any special requirements or authorizations required to receive outpatient mental health services?

  5. Is there a limit to how many counseling sessions I can have?

Out-of-Network

Your insurance plan may offer out-of-network benefits if you are not in-network. For instance, in some cases, your out-of-network deductible may be applied to your in-network deductible. Check with your insurance plan to see what benefits are included in your plan.

Out-of-Pocket

Paying out-of-pocket increases confidentiality as it eliminates the need to involve insurance companies. Insurance companies require a diagnostic mental health code and often determine the number of sessions you are allowed to have.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • I see most my clients weekly or every two weeks. We’ll decide together when and if we will increase or decrease your frequency of sessions to best meet your goals and needs.

  • I offer three options, and we’ll decide what we want to do together. I recommend we start out with the typical 60-minute sessions. I offer 75-minute sessions for when we need a little extra time. Maybe something big has happened or you like to talk for awhile before and after some brainspotting work. And 45-minute sessions might be the best option for those who are squeezing in a therapy session over their lunchbreak or are toward the end of the journey and would like to continue to work on something or check in and find the full 60 minutes isn’t needed.

  • It is totally normal to feel anxious or nervous before you start with a new therapist! As a therapist, I provide a safe and non-judgmental space that makes it a bit easier to get started. During our first session or two, I’ll ask you a bunch of questions to help me form a better picture of you, your world, and your journey. I’ll listen to you without judgement and may ask a few follow up questions. Together, we’ll come up with goals of what you hope to accomplish in therapy.

  • This one is hard to answer. It varies from person to person and depends on your goals and circumstances. There's no one-size-fits-all answer, but your commitment to personal growth and the reasons you're seeking counseling will play a big role.

  • Great question! I take your confidentiality and privacy very seriously. I use a HIPAA compliant medical records system for storing all of our session records and appointments. I also use this system to send intake forms and paperwork to ensure your information is protected. There may be times where you want me to share information about our sessions to a family member, other medical professional, or someone else. In those cases, I will have you complete a release giving me permission to disclose your information to that person.

    • There are a few times where I am required by law to tell someone what is going on in our sessions:

    • If you disclose thoughts or plans to harm yourself

    • If you disclose thoughts or plans to harm someone else

    • If I am issued a subpoena by the courts
