Q. How Do I Get Started?

Please message me to get started. You will receive a confirmation email notifying you that I received your message and a link to the initial client paperwork. I will contact you just as soon as I am able for your free 10 minute consultation and to assess whether we're a good fit to work together. Your next step is to download and print the consent for treatment forms. You can do so by following the link provided in your confirmation email or just click on the appropriate box above. Please bring the completed forms with you to your first appointment.

I look forward to meeting you!

Q. Do you accept insurance?

I accept most out of network insurance plans. Upon request I will provide you with a super bill that you can submit to your insurance company for reimbursement. I have some medical claim forms for specific companies and can walk you through the simple process of getting reimbursed expeditiously.

I encourage you to check with your insurance provider prior to your first session, to see if they provide coverage and what your copay and/or deductibles may include. The main insurance I do still bill for is Medicare.

I accept most out of network insurance companies for a variety of reasons, with the greatest reason being that insurance providers will often times direct the course of treatment and limit sessions. I am a skilled Licensed professional who believes that I am in the best position to assess your specific counseling needs, not insurance companies who are not providing direct care.

Additionally, I run a small practice in our hometown and believe that accepting insurance takes away from the valuable time of counseling, training and clinical work I can provide. I am not willing to sacrifice those small practice aspects of my work to have a larger practice where the quality of treatment may be compromised to fit in the managed care model of treatment.

Q. What are your rates?

Q. Scheduling and Cancellations

Appointment times are reserved especially for you, therefore, a minimum of 24 hours notice is required for re-scheduling or canceling an appointment. The full fee will be charged for missed sessions in those cases without 24 hours notice, unless a sudden medical emergency has occurred.

I value you and the time I put into every client!
