Question 1

Can I use my health insurance to pay for sessions?

Accepted Answer

I am currently not paneled with any insurance companies. However I am happy to provide you with a
superbill (monthly statement) for you to get reimbursed from your insurance if you have out of network
benefits.

Question 2

How much do you charge per session?

Accepted Answer

My standard rate is $225. I also have a limited number of sliding scale spots available. Feel free to
contact me to inquire about these.

Question 3

What can I expect from my first appointment?

Accepted Answer

Many people feel nervous about meeting with their therapist for the first time, especially if it is their
first time ever in treatment. My main priority is to establish a safe space for you to begin sharing your
story, your hopes for therapy, and for you to determine whether you can trust me with supporting you
through your healing journey. I invite you to pay attention to how you feel with me, and to ask
questions, as you and I determine whether we are a good fit.

Question 4

Given COVID-19 restrictions, how are you meeting with clients?

Accepted Answer

I am currently only meeting with clients virtually. Sessions can be conducted by telephone, or through
video appointments.

Question 5

What is your cancellation policy?

Accepted Answer

I require 48 hours notice for any cancellations and / or to reschedule your appointment. An occasional
exception may be made for emergencies, but it is imperative that we meet consistently in order to make
progress.
