What to Expect
The most important aspect of any Mental Health Treatment is the relationship that is developed between you and your therapist. I pride myself on working with you and your family to develop a working therapeutic relationship that targets goals that are important to you and explaining the process in a friendly and client centered way.
The first session will revolve around gathering a psycho-social history and developing a plan with your input that will have maximum benefit and achieve the results you desire. Ongoing counseling will focus on learning skills and processing life's challenges to improve functioning and satisfaction in relationships and with yourself.
The Information you need to get Started
Location: I will be offering virtual sessions only starting 7/1/2023. This adjustment is made to provide the best care to clients throughout the state and reduce costs. My practice has also relocated to Maryland effective 5/8/2024 and I will continue to see clients in both locations virtually, but will only be accepting new Maryland clients.
Availability: I generally see clients Monday - Thursday during business hours 8AM - 5PM. Availability is limited but flexible.
Fees: My full fee is $150 per session; however, I understand that Mental Health is important to improve quality of life, so I also offers a variable fee based on client need. Call or email to inquire. Cash, check, and all major credit cards are accepted.
Insurance: I currently accept Aetna, Optum/United Behavioral Health, UMR, Cigna, and also EAP referrals (prior authorization is required for EAP services). Please check with your insurance provider about your benefits and obtain any necessary authorizations needed. You are responsible for any services not covered by your insurance. I'm happy to assist you to the best of my ability with navigating your insurance coverage.
For other insurance providers, I can assist you getting reimbursed for your therapy appointments by providing documentation for you to submit to your insurance company for "out of network" benefits.
