Are You Ready For A Turning Point? Start Feeling Better Now!Taking Your First StepIf you have never visited a therapist before, it is understandable that you may feel nervous or reluctant. I completely understand and will provide you with a safe, predictable and warm environment in which you can begin the journey toward your turning point for change.When you come in for office counseling I will ask you to fill out a registration form, sign a statement acknowledging you've read my office policies and fill out a health insurance claim form should you be using insurance. It's a good idea to arrive 5 minutes early so that you can fill out the paper work before we begin.
FeesMy fees are $120 per session. Sessions are 50 minutes. During your initial session, I may ask you questions about your family history, medical history, and other information necessary for us to devise an effective treatment plan.You may request an initial 15 minute consultation at no charge on the phone, or a brief email exchange to find out if we are a good match. I am a provider for most insurance panels. If you choose me as your provider, please contact your insurance company to verify your deductible, co-pay amount, and number of authorized sessions. Please be sure to bring your card with you when you come to your first session.
