What should I expect in our first session?
In our session we will begin to get to know one another, to clarify your goals and intentions for therapy, and determine if we are a good fit. I will also address any questions or concerns you have about therapy and explain what to expect during the process. Prior to our first session, I will provide you with intake paperwork in order to gather a little more information about you and what has led you to seek counseling so that we are better able to utilize our time together in our first session. I will also provide you with HIPPA privacy policies and my professional disclosure and informed consent.

How long do sessions last?
Sessions are 50 minutes, but I am able to discuss shorter or longer sessions if you are interested.
What is the cost per session?
I charge $130 per session and am able to take payment in cash, check or by major credit card. I am also in network with BCBS, Aetna, United Healthcare, Medcost, Healthgram, CBHA, Medicare, and Compsych EAP and Compsych Managed Care, and am able to bill them directly, but I ask that you take responsibility for finding out your copay and deductible. I offer a few sliding scale slots and when you call for a consult am happy to let you know if I currently have sliding scale slots available.
