Frequently Asked Questions

What does the start of Therapy look like?

After our consultation call (15 minute phone call to determine if I am a good fit for you or your family), we will schedule a mental health intake evaluation. This will be about 60 to 90 minutes in length where I ask you or the child and their caregiver(s) questions about client strengths, challenges and needs for treatment. I then help clients and/or families discuss what everyone’s hopes and goals are. This allows for us to come up with a treatment plan that best aligns with your values and needs.

How long does therapy last?

A typical therapy session lasts 50-55 minutes. The course of treatment is dependent on you or your child’s needs and treatment goals. Certain treatment methods have an average length of sessions (such as PCIT) whereas other methods are truly dependent on the client. I believe in meeting my clients and families to “where they are at” in therapy and match the pace and progression of treatment off of the client’s comfort. 

What information do I need to have ready before my first appointment?

– Any custody, educational or legal paperwork if necessary.

– State ID/Driver’s License

– Insurance Card

– Any testing or evaluations that have been completed for the identified client (you, the child, etc.)

– Any current medication information (name, dosage, prescriber name)


** Please have all onboarding intake paperwork completed 36 hours before your appointment time.

Do you offer any custody, visitation or parenting mediation recommendations?

No I do not. This is not within my scope of practice. Please seek referrals from your legal counsel on appropriate therapists and services.

Good Faith Estimate Agreement

Standard Notice: “Right to Receive a Good Faith Estimate of Expected Charges” Under the No Surprises Act: Beginning January 1, 2022:  If you’re uninsured or you pay for health care bills yourself ("self-pay"/"paying out of pocket"; you don’t have your claims submitted to your health insurance plan), providers and facilities must provide you with an estimate of expected charges before you receive an item or service. 
You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost. 
Under this law, health and mental health care providers need to give clients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services. 
  • You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees. 
  • Make sure your health or mental health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health or mental health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service. 
  • If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. 
  • Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate. 
For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, you can visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call HHS at (800) 368-1019.
