What I require from My Clients

My counseling services requires someone who is willing to do the work that it takes to make lasting changes. I only have a few spots open. This means I truly need someone, who attends regularly and not just when in crisis. Therapy also works best if you are prepared to share, are active in your therapy sessions, and most importantly, you do the homework that is required.  Additionally, sessions are more productive if you are as honest and open as possible.  Personally speaking, I work best when I get immediate feedback from you regarding how sessions are going. So please do not be shy about letting me know your thoughts and feelings; I welcome them.

I do not take insurance but if you have out-of-network coverage, I can work with your insurance to have sessions covered.  We can also discuss reducing your out-of-pocket costs if necessary. 

Please check with your insurance company about how providers, who are not in your network, are covered for psychotherapy.  Services may be covered in full or in part by your health insurance or employee benefit plan. Please check your coverage carefully by asking the following questions:

• Do I have mental health insurance benefits?
• What is my deductible for mental health services?
• Has my deductible been met and does it apply towards my out of pocket costs?
• What is my maximum out of pocket costs for individuals and family, and has it been met?
• What is co-insurance?, do I have one?, how much is it?, and how does it apply to out of pocket costs?
• How many sessions per year does my health insurance cover?
• What is the coverage amount per therapy session?
• What do I need to do to get reimbursed for sessions?
