Fees

Not all therapy relationships are a good fit…and that’s ok. The most important thing about getting the help you need is finding a therapist who matches your needs. Here are a few questions to help you decide if I am the right fit for you.

How long do therapy sessions last? What is the first therapy session like?

Therapy can be long-term or short-term. Typically, we would meet every week for 53 minutes for roughly 6 months. Eventually, we will taper off to biweekly sessions depending on your progress. Then we can meet once a month until you are ready to end the therapeutic collaboration. In the first therapy session, we discuss the limits of confidentiality/HIPAA, review the assessments, and create goals for therapy.

Do you accept insurance?

At this time I do not accept insurance, however, I am happy to provide you with a superbill for out-of-network reimbursement that you can submit to your insurance company. Some insurance companies will reimburse you a portion of your expenses. My fees include initial assessments and evaluations, therapy sessions, useful handouts/homework to add to your mental health toolkit, etc. And remember, the 15 min consultation is free.

Do you offer biweekly sessions?

Therapy cannot be as effective if you are starting off with biweekly sessions according to the research. Biweekly sessions usually occur after 6 months of therapy and a reassessment of your treatment plan to determine your progress towards your goals.

Are you licensed? What states do you practice in?

I’m licensed and accepting clients in the states of Maryland and New York. NOTE: I do NOT see minors at this time.

Do you offer in-person sessions? 

All sessions are online. Having a chronic illness or being a caregiver is not easy, so having to commute (with these recent gas prices) to an office is one less worry. It’s convenient and in the privacy and comfort of your own home. 

How do you make an appointment? What are your hours of availability?

You can make an appointment several ways. First, clicking on the book a free consultation button will take you straight to my calendar to get started. You could also email me directly at [email protected] You could call 330.732.5816 and I will get back to you within 48 hours. I conduct sessions beginning at 10am until 6pm. My evening hours are reserved for couples and families.
