Teletherapy
Teletherapy is therapy performed over the internet, primarily using video and voice interaction. My practice uses SimplePractice Telehealth, which has an easy-to-use and accessible video feature. This platform is highly secure, and HIPAA-compliant.
Rates vary based on provider. Typical costs are approximately $100-175/session.
We do accept OHP/Medicaid, but no other insurance.
IndividualsIndividual counseling sessions are offered one-on-one. Rarely, we may agree to meet with an important person, such as a spouse or family member, to address a specific issue.
|
Families and RelationshipsFor family, relationship, or couples sessions, all people participating need to be present unless otherwise agreed with your therapist.
Children under 14 must have an adult available at all times during sessions, and should be provided with a quiet, private space for therapy. |
GroupsCurrently, we are accepting applications the following groups (through the Contact page):
Creating Connections Groups:
Small groups of 4-8 people, supporting each other as we navigate a world that isn't set up for us. |
What Is an Initial Evaluation?
Typically, the first session with a new therapist can be a little more involved than a standard mental health therapy session. Paperwork will usually be filled out before this session, but may also be filled out at the beginning. In addition to us getting to know each other, we will explore what brought you into counseling, and establish some goals for our time together. This session may also include some formal assessments, depending on what the situation may call for. Between our first session and our next session, I will interpret any assessments, and come up with a diagnosis and treatment plan. I will share both of these with you at your second session, and we will make sure both of us feel comfortable and confident with our plan for our work together.
A Note About Insurance
Some of our providers do accept OHP. We are not in network with any private insurance. however, we can provide receipts or a 'Superbill' for your insurance company so you can seek reimbursement for our services as an "Out of Network Provider. Contact us to talk more about this process.
Payment and Scheduling
All payments are requested at the time of service. If you need to reschedule with less than 24 hours' notice, you will still be responsible for 50% of the session fee. If you don't show up to an appointment without notifying your provider ahead of time, you will be responsible for the entire session fee.
We charge for our time and expertise; our care is free.
All payments are completed using our Electronic Medical Records system. No clinicians have access to your personal financial details.
