Frequently Asked Questions
Where do you provide your services?
I offer confidential, HIPAA-compliant telehealth services to clients in Florida, Missouri, and Washington state. You can receive therapy from the comfort of your home, no matter where you are in these states.
How does online therapy work?
I use a secure, HIPAA-compliant platform called SimplePractice for online therapy. Before our first session, you’ll complete intake paperwork to give me a snapshot of your background and reasons for seeking help.
You can set up automatic payments using a debit, credit, or HSA card, and I won’t have access to your full card number. You’ll receive appointment links via email or mobile, and you can personalize your reminder settings.
Do you offer in-person therapy?
At this time, I do not. I have found that telehealth is very convenient for both myself and for you! You can attend your sessions from anywhere that you have a solid, secure internet connection, and you can even wear your PJs if you want to!
How much does it cost?
Weekly sessions are $125 for a 55-minute session. Weekly sessions are recommended for momentum purposes. Longer sessions or twice-weekly sessions can be made available if we decide you could benefit from a deeper dive into your work.
As you see improvements we will discuss less frequent appointments or graduation. In keeping with my mission to be accessible, I do keep a limited number of reduced-fee slots available for clients with financial need. Please inquire.
What is the free consult?
This is a free 10-minute phone consultation. Most people find it really helpful for determining compatibility on things like your needs, my skills, and our schedules. You get to hear my voice, tell me what you’re struggling with, and what you’re hoping to accomplish. I get to tell you more about my professional background and experience and answer any of your questions.
If we are not a match, I am happy to help you find someone who is. If we decide we are a good match, we then proceed to scheduling. I will then email you intake paperwork to complete through my confidential, HIPAA-compliant Electronic Medical Records software.
Please note that I never take offense when a prospective client decides to work with someone else. I think the most important part of therapy is the relationship between you and your therapist. Even with the best of intentions, sometimes personalities just don’t click, and if that is the case, I would be happy to offer you some referral options.
How long will I need to be in therapy?
The duration of therapy varies for each person, depending on factors like symptom reduction and goal achievement. We’ll regularly discuss your progress and what might be helpful.
Once your symptoms have improved and goals are met, we’ll talk about reducing the frequency of sessions or ending treatment. This decision is made together, ensuring a thoughtful closure where we review your progress and celebrate your accomplishments.
