In my first session, I enjoy getting to know people and understanding their story and what they hope to gain. There’s no “plan” in session one beyond setting the plans together.

In terms of confidentiality, there are exceptions (intent to harm self or others, legal situations such as having to communicate with a judge). In terms of minor clients, I strive to maintain their autonomy. What parents should know is that I help their children tell them what’s important. 

Sessions last 50 minutes. Weekly is ideal, especially at the beginning of treatment but I also understand life is busy. Every other week does the job just fine. You and I set goals and evaluate our progress every 6 sessions. I give you, as the client, autonomy to decide where you believe you are in your therapeutic process.

Again, life gets busy! I totally get it. If you ever need to cancel, I need it to have 24 hours notice and we can easily reschedule. Inside that window, I charge full fee to insure commitment on both sides.

My rate is $145 per session. I do not take insurance as it can confine the therapeutic process unnecessarily. I do however offer a Superbill that allows the client to be reimbursed from their insurance companies.
