Everything you might want to know before we begin. If something is not here, feel free to ask during your free consultation.
Sessions take place through a secure client portal on a HIPAA-compliant telehealth platform. You will create an account through the platform and join using the button on the platform at the time of the appointment. All you need is a quiet, private space and a stable internet connection.
The first session is a chance for us to get to know each other. We will discuss what brought you in, your history, and what you are hoping to get out of therapy. There is no pressure to share more than you are comfortable with. We will also go over logistics, including scheduling, fees, and how we can work together, so you know exactly what to expect.
Yes. Everything discussed in therapy is confidential within the limits of the law. Exceptions are rare and limited to situations involving imminent risk of harm to yourself or others, or legal mandates such as child or elder abuse. I will explain these limits fully during our first session so there are no surprises.
I ask for 48 hours' notice if you need to cancel or reschedule. If less than 48 hours' notice is given, the full session fee applies. A reminder that insurance does not cover missed or cancelled appointments within the 48-hour window.
I want to make therapy accessible, so we will discuss insurance and fees in detail during your consultation, and I offer reduced rates where I can and when applicable. If cost is a concern, please do not hesitate to bring it up.
