FAQ
Here are some commonly asked questions.
1
Do you take insurance?
No. I am considered an out of network provider. If you would like to try and use your insurance, I will provide you with the required invoice for you to submit for reimbursement.
2
Do you prescribe medication?
I do not prescribe medication. You will need to consult with an MD (vs PhD) for a prescription. If you are curious about the potential for medication, I will happily discuss and offer references for a psychiatrist.
3
What should I expect the first time I call?
When you call for the first time to inquire or schedule an appointment, we may have a brief 15-20 minute consultation. Some people ask about my experience with specific issues, while others inquire about my approach to therapy. There’s no right or wrong question to ask. If you're unsure, it's common for people to simply share what brings them to seek therapy. Once you're ready to schedule, we'll find a time that works and book a 90-minute initial consultation.

What do I need for our first session?
There are three documents (Client Intake Form, Informed Consent, Notice of Privacy Practices) you will need to complete and bring to our first session. In terms of payment, I accept cash, check and credit card.

What are your office hours?
I am in my office Monday-Thursday from 9-4. At this time, I schedule teletherapy/ virtual appointments Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
