What are the benefits of private pay therapy?
Going to a private pay therapist has many benefits including flexible scheduling, more private health records, the ability to stay with your therapist if there is a change in insurance, no surprise billing, more time spent with the therapist and more…
Do you offer a sliding scale fee?
Yes. However, it’s case-by-case based on financial need with only a certain number of spots. If my sliding scale fee spots fill up, I’ll be happy to put you on a waiting list.
What are your hours?
Currently, I offer evening and early morning online therapy appointments Monday-Friday and Sunday morning appointments to accommodate busy working schedules.
What is your cancellation policy?
If you need to cancel, please do so within 24 hours. If you fail to give 24-hour’s notice, a full session fee is charged. First missed appointment will be waived.
How long is therapy and what will happen?
Everyone’s circumstances are different and will require different goals and lengths of time. My therapeutic approach is tailored to your specific, individual needs. This will be discussed in further detail during the intake.
Do you diagnose?
As a private pay therapist that does not bill insurance, I am not required to give a diagnosis. That is for insurance billing purposes only. Instead, we will work on your specialized individual treatment goals and concerns.
Do you fill out disability paperwork?
No. This is not in the scope of my practice. If you are looking for a letter or paperwork to be filled out, I recommend that you contact your Primary Care Provider (PCP) for this request. This includes FMLA, short-term and long-term disability, and any ADA paperwork.
What about confidentiality?
Confidentiality is an important part of the therapeutic process. However, if you are a danger to yourself or others, if child abuse or abuse to a vulnerable population is suspected, if there is a court order/subpoena, then by law, certain types of information will need to be disclosed. Information about your rights regarding confidentiality will be outlined in the intake paperwork you will receive before your first scheduled session.
