Fees and Insurance
-
I charge $350 for 50 minute individual sessions. Longer sessions are prorated, e.g. a 90 minute session is $630.
-
I am not contracted with any insurance company, however I am able to provide a Superbill that you may submit to your insurance for reimbursement. Additionally, my specializations usually create an eligibility for what is known as a ‘Network Gap Exemption’, which often allows clients to receive reimbursement from their insurance for my full fee, minus the in-network cost sharing requirements (co-pays, and deductible). Please inquire for more information about this insurance reimbursement mechanism.
FAQ’s
-
I require 48 business-hours notice for session cancellations. If I receive less than 48 hours notice, you will be charged for the missed session. I do not charge if we are able to reschedule within the same week.
-
The length and frequency of sessions are tailored to your individual needs and preferences. Many clients prefer 50-minute sessions once a week, but 90-minute sessions are also available, as well as intensives lasting up to 3 hours. Depending on your needs, sessions can be scheduled as frequently as three times per week or as infrequently as every two weeks. To start, I typically recommend weekly sessions to establish a strong working relationship and help you achieve your goals effectively.

The length of time you spend in therapy can vary greatly from person to person. For some individuals, four to six months (16 - 26 sessions) may be sufficient to address specific issues like a breakup or a major life transition. For others, especially those dealing with extensive abuse histories, the process may take much longer. Throughout our time together, we will regularly assess your progress and decide together when it feels right to conclude therapy.

In a 'trial therapy' session, you can expect an initial, in-depth meeting designed to assess and begin addressing your specific psychological needs. I often recommend initial sessions of 90 minutes, however the length of the initial session is up to you. A trial session, distinct from a free consultation, is interactive and extensive, allowing both you and me to gain a deeper understanding of your emotional and psychological landscape. I will discuss your reasons for seeking therapy, explore underlying emotions, observe defense mechanisms, and provide real-time feedback and insights. By the end of the session, you should have a clearer understanding of your emotional issues and how therapy can help address them. I will offer recommendations for further treatment and together, we will decide if my therapeutic approach is right for your needs and whether to continue working together.

A trauma therapist is a licensed mental health professional with advanced training in evidence-based trauma treatments like EMDR for shock trauma, or ISTDP in the case of relational and attachment trauma. This specialized training allows trauma therapists to address the root causes of post traumatic symptoms, while helping clients avoid re-traumatization by carefully building resources and safety in the nervous system.
