Frequently Asked Questions
Whats Involved in the First Free Consultation?
The first consultation is about getting a basic understanding of your issues and hopes; and have any questions answered. Clients generally find the free session valuable to get a better understanding of what the treatment involves and if it will be a good fit.
Whats the cost and is it covered by insurance?
The first 15 min consultation is free. The cost of session is $150.00 per hour. Fees may be reimbursed in part or in whole by certain insurance or health care providers. Some workers may also have health spending accounts that they can use. I also offer sliding scale fee for those who have difficulty paying the full amount.
Why should I go to You?
In addition to personal experience in overcoming my own anxiety and low mood, I have years of experience and love for learning evidence based strategies to support sustainable change. As a result of my love of learning to help I first became an RN then a Psychologist and am now becoming a health coach. I practice what I learn and have compassion and confidence in peoples capacity to change. I have training in a variety of modalities including CBT, DBT, Mindfulness, ACT, MI, and Gottman Method.
My Issue or symptoms weren’t mentioned in your Website. What Issues do you Work With?
I have worked with individuals dealing with a variety of issues and diagnosis including anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, anger, crisis, and Borderline Personality Disorder. Please feel free to ask any questions or meet with me for a free consultation to discuss your issues.
Do you Provide any activities or “Homework” Assignments between sessions?
Practicing, in real life, what you learn in session is extremely important to accelerate and sustain changes. I believe small consistent steps can lead to great results over time. I normally provide activities or homework in order to increase your readiness and capacity for change right away.
