Standard sessions last 50 minutes, with 5 minutes allotted for scheduling and administrative matters.
No, I offer telehealth sessions only.
Research has shown the therapeutic relationship is one of the best indicators of success in counseling. This means I could be the best counselor ever, but if there is not a strong rapport between us to share the most personal parts of your life we aren’t going to accomplish a whole lot. It is so important to have a counselor you feel understands you- and if that isn’t me I am happy to offer you referrals to other counselors!
Feeling a little nervous about meeting with me? Totally normal! Before our first session I will send you a link to your client portal to fill out intake paperwork. To begin our session you will receive a link in your email to our video session, or you can access it through your client portal. In the beginning of our session we will go over some introductory information about counseling, and we will spend the rest of our session getting to know each other and what your goals are for counseling. You don’t need to prepare for your first session- just show up!
I accept Aetna insurance. Please check with your insurance provider to verify coverage.
Not at this time.
Short answer- it depends. We will typically begin meeting once per week, and can decrease sessions to bi-weekly depending on your individual needs.
