FAQ's
How long will therapy take?
​
Hopefully you can reach your goal by 8 sessions. However, that depends on you. How long do you think it will take to reach your goal or solve your problem? I like to do short term focused therapy. I would love to have you reach your goal by 8 sessions. However, sometimes it may take 3-6 months. I also have clients who have been with me a year or longer.
​
How often do I have to come to therapy?
​
I prefer therapy on a weekly basis initially (preferable the first 4 weeks) then taper to biweekly, monthly check-ins and boosters as needed.
​
Do you see children or adolescents?
​
I only see adults age 18 and over.
​
Do you see couples?
​
I see individuals. I may bring your partner in for a few sessions depending on the situation but I do not do couples counseling.
​
Do you take insurance?
​
I take all of the "Blues" (Anthem, CareFirst, BlueCross Blue Shield, etc) Cigna and Medicare. Your insurance co-pay is due at the time of the visit--check or charge. If you do not have these insurances please check to see if your insurance allows you to go out of network. You may be able to get reimbursement but at a lower rate.
​
Are you a member of an EAP?
​
I take Magellan, CareBridge, Health Advocates, Mutual of Omaha, and CIGNA Employee Assistance Programs (EAP). Check with your employer to see if they offer this service.
​
Do you have any consultation?
​
We can set up a 10 minute phone conversation to determine if we are a therapy-match. I will want to know if you have had previous therapy and how well you think you have done since that therapy. I will want to know about your current issues and your expectations of therapy.
​

Monday--Thursday -9am-9pm;
Friday 9am-3pm;
Saturday 9am-2pm.
