Frequently Asked Questions
What can I expect in my first therapy session?
Our first appointment will be a getting to know you session where I’ll ask questions about why you are coming in for counseling and information about your background. We’ll also identify a schedule for our ongoing appointments and goals that you would like to work towards.
How long are therapy sessions?
Sessions are 55 minutes.
What are your fees?
My fee is $200 for a 55 minute session.
Do you accept insurance?
I am currently in network with Aetna. If you are using your health insurance, fees per session will vary depending on your individual plan. Fees will be discussed in advance, and deductibles and copays are billed at the time of service.
In addition, many insurance plans offer out-of-network benefits which means you would pay for the fee in full at the time of your session and I can provide you with an itemized receipt that you can submit to your insurance for partial reimbursement. For more information on this option please ask in your initial consultation and I can guide you through the questions to ask your insurance company.
Do you offer in-person therapy?
All sessions are offered online via a secure telehealth platform.
I am a postpartum mom, can I bring my baby?
Yes! New moms are welcome to bring the baby if that feels right or needed. You are also welcome to use therapy as a safe space just for you.
How do I get started?
I'd love to connect with you! Use the contact form to offer 3 times you are available for a phone consultation and I will confirm with you within 24 hours. You are also welcome to call or text me at 213-347-9100
