Therapy Sessions

I schedule sessions on weekdays between the hours of 9:00am and 3:00pm, though I can occasionally offer a session at 3:00pm. Our first contact is typically by phone or email when we schedule a complimentary 15-minute phone consultation to determine goodness of fit.

Assuming we decide to work together, we will discuss some of the initial logistics and then schedule our intake session. Prior to this, I will send you some documents to review and complete, including my practice policies, informed consent, HIPAA compliance, and client history. Completing these before our intake session will allow more time to speak together, identify your goals, and make a plan for further treatment.

Depending on your needs and goals, you may be seeking short-term support (8-10 sessions) or looking for longer-term support. You may benefit from weekly sessions or prefer bi-weekly sessions. We will speak collaboratively as we begin our therapeutic relationship and in an ongoing way to discuss how things are progressing, and what (if any) adjustments should be made.

Insurance Options

I am in-network with Aetna, Optum, Point32/Harvard Pilgrim, and Blue Cross Blue Shield insurance plans. If you would like to use insurance coverage for therapy, I will need to confirm your plan status prior to your first appointment. This typically takes about 24 hours.

For out-of-network plans, I can provide you with an invoice to document paid sessions that you can submit to your insurance company. It is your responsibility to contact your insurance company to determine what out-of-network benefits you may have and to submit any insurance claims.

Some clients have insurance but choose not to use it, and there may be several reasons for this. If you’d like to speak more about this, I’d be more than happy to do so.
