FAQs
Do you accept insurance?
We are paneled with Aetna for individual therapy sessions. Most insurances require that deductibles are met prior to insurance benefit dispersement. Often, deductibles are between $1000-2000 dollars and are unmet at the time I see you. This requires you to be billed out of pocket for counseling expenses until that deductible is met anyway.
If you prefer to use insurance (other than Aetna), we are an out-of-network provider but we do accept HSA and FSA accounts and clients can submit documentation to their insurance for potential reimbursement. It is the client's responsibility to check with their insurance about out-of-network and telehealth coverage; depending on the plan, insurance could cover any range between none to all of the fees. Most insurances will usually cover some of the fees. Clients pay for sessions up front and then submit documentation to insurance for reimbursement.
*Note: Individuals participating in the 120-minute DBT Skills Training Group are required to attend individual therapy every other week at a minimum.

What can I expect at the first session?
First sessions are known as intake sessions. These sessions are casual, comfortable, and approximately 50 minutes long and cover the initial paperwork including covering informed consent, privacy, practice policies, and a verbal history of your goals, diagnoses, past treatment, family history, etc. At times, these administrative tasks may feel more clinical in nature but helps give me some important background pieces about who you are. The second half of the intake session is more fluid conversation identifying and setting goals so the therapeutic process can begin.
