Do you take insurance?
Though I’m not an “in-network” provider with insurance companies, if you have out of network benefits, I can submit claims electronically on your behalf, so there’s no paperwork to fill out! If you aren’t sure what your benefits are, you can contact your insurance company directly and ask. If you need to stay within your insurance plan due to financial concerns, the best thing to do is go on their website and search for a behavioral health provider in your area. Therapy is an investment in yourself and your well-being!
What happens at the free consult?
The 30 minute consultation is basically a “meet and greet” to see if it feels like we are a good fit. I’ll ask you what kinds of challenges you are currently facing, and what you are looking for in a therapist. It’s also a chance for you to ask questions that may be important to you as you go through the process of finding the right therapist. At the end of the session, I’ll ask you how you would like to proceed. If you aren’t sure and want to “shop around”, I encourage you to do so. If for some reason I don’t feel that my training and expertise matches your needs, I will try my best to refer you to someone else. And if we both feel that it’s a good fit, we can talk about moving forward with scheduling a weekly standing appointment time.
