Frequently Asked Questions
Do you take insurance?
I am on many insurance panels and I take Medicare. I expect payment at the time of service, and I will give you a receipt for you to file with your provider.
How long are sessions?
A psychotherapy session is typically 50 minutes, although when I work with couples, I sometimes schedule an eighty- minute session. I intend to both start and end on time.
How long is treatment?
After our first couple of sessions, we will talk about length of treatment. The length will depend on your history and your goals.
Is psychotherapy confidential?
Yes, treatment is confidential. I will be asking you to sign a privacy statement, outlining the value of and the limits to confidentiality.
What can I expect at the first session?
I expect you to have completed the intake form prior to our first session. We will review that form, as well as your presenting concerns. By the end of the session, we will decide if your needs and my expertise are a good fit. If so, we will start creating a treatment plan.
