Answer: Therapy is a helpful process for anyone seeking personal growth, better coping skills, or relief from mental and emotional distress. It is right for you if you feel stuck, are dealing with life transitions, are struggling with specific issues like anxiety or grief, or simply want to improve your relationships and overall well-being. If you are questioning it, a consultation is a great first step to explore your needs and see if we are a good fit.

Answer: Therapy is typically a collaborative, one-on-one conversation held in a safe, confidential space. Sessions usually last 45-55 minutes. We will work together to set goals, explore your thoughts, feelings, and behavioral patterns, and develop practical tools for change. While it may involve discussing difficult topics, the process is client-led and focused on empowering you to achieve your desired outcomes.

• Insurance: We accept specific insurance plans. Please provide your insurance information to Headway when you are scheduling your appointment and they will check for your mental health benefits.

• Out-of-Network: If we are out-of-network, we can often provide you with a detailed receipt (a Superbill) that you can submit to your insurance company for potential reimbursement.

• Billing: We accept major credit cards and other payment methods, e.g., HSA/FSA cards. Payment is due at the time of service.

• All Billing and Payments are processed via Headway at the start of each session.

Answer: Yes, confidentiality is a cornerstone of therapy and is protected by law. Everything discussed in your sessions is kept private. There are a few legal and ethical exceptions to confidentiality, which we will review with you during the initial session. These exceptions generally include:

• A reasonable suspicion of danger to yourself or others.

• A reasonable suspicion of child or elder abuse.

• A court order requiring disclosure of records.

Our session fee for an individual session is $180. We believe in making therapy accessible and may offer a sliding scale or other reduced fee options for clients with financial hardship who do not have insurance. We can discuss specific rates and payment options when you schedule your initial appointment.
