Our practice is a fee-for-service practice which means we do not accept insurance. If you have an insurance provider with behavioral health coverage, they may offer out-of-network coverage. If you would like to use your out-of-network benefits, we will provide you with a superbill (receipt) that you can submit to your insurance company for reimbursement.

Prior to your first session, you will fill out some general information. We will send you a link to complete the form(s) prior to your first session.
During your initial appointment, we will review parts of your history and discuss the reasons you are seeking counseling, along with the goals you hope to achieve.
In the first few sessions, we will work together to create a treatment plan tailored to your needs.

We welcome couples, children, adolescents, teens, and individuals of diverse backgrounds, cultures, religious traditions, and lifestyles. We will be able to work with you using a variety of tools and techniques and specialize in a variety of issues and concerns.

Most patients come in for weekly appointments. As you are feeling better, you can cut back on the frequency of the sessions so you have more time to practice what you are learning.
Initial sessions are 75 minutes ongoing sessions may be 45-75 minutes or longer depending on need.
Patients who work with us report improvements in a few sessions. More difficult issues may take longer. People come to therapy for different reasons but universally people don’t initiate counseling unless they are in some type of emotional pain.
Our attitude is to try to make every session count.

All client-therapist conversations are private and confidential. In those rare exceptions when the safety of a client or other is at risk disclosure of confidential client-therapist information takes place.
