Question 1

What ages do you work with?

Accepted Answer

I see patients of all ages, including children, adolescents, and adults. For young children, I often work with both the child and their parents together using Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) or exposure therapy.  I believe strongly in building parental confidence and knowledge and therefore include them in treatment as much as possible.

Question 2

What is Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT)?

Accepted Answer

PCIT is an evidence-based treatment for young children with behavioral challenges, such as anxiety, ADHD, or oppositional behaviors. In PCIT, parents and children attend sessions together, and parents are coached in real-time to develop effective relationship-building and discipline skills. The goal is to strengthen the parent-child relationship, improve children’s behaviors, and reduce parenting stress.

Question 3

How often will I need to come to therapy?

Accepted Answer

The frequency of therapy depends on your symptoms, how long you’ve been struggling, and other factors unique to your situation. Most people benefit from weekly sessions at treatment outset, with less frequent visits once goals have been achieved. The length of therapy varies for each person. Many clients see significant improvement within a relatively short period, especially with a behavioral approach. We will regularly review your progress and adjust the treatment plan as needed.

Question 4

What can I expect in my first session?

Accepted Answer

The first session is focused on getting to know you, understanding your concerns, and setting goals for therapy. We’ll discuss your history, what brought you in, and what you hope to achieve. For children, I’ll also meet with parents to gather important background information and explain the therapy process.  For PCIT cases, I will teach the skills parents need to know for the first phase of treatment in the initial session as well.

Question 5

Do I need a referral to start therapy?

Accepted Answer

No referral is necessary. You can contact me directly to schedule an appointment.

Question 6

What if I need to cancel or reschedule an appointment?

Accepted Answer

Please provide at least 24 hours’ notice if you need to cancel or reschedule. Sessions canceled with less than 24 hours’ notice may be subject to the full session fee.

Question 7

Do you offer in-person or telehealth sessions?

Accepted Answer

I offer both in-person and telehealth sessions.

Question 8

What if I have more questions?

Accepted Answer

Feel free to reach out to me directly. I’m happy to answer any other questions you may have about therapy, my approach, or the process of getting started.

Question 9

How much does therapy cost?

Accepted Answer

Fees are discussed individually and are due at the time of service. Please contact me directly for current rates.

Question 10

How do I pay for sessions?

Accepted Answer

Payment is made directly at the time of each session. I accept credit card, cash, check, or Zelle payments.

Question 11

Do you accept insurance?

Accepted Answer

No, I do not accept insurance. All sessions are paid out of pocket directly. However, I provide a detailed receipt (also known as a “superbill”) that you are welcome to submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement, depending on your plan.  There are certain plans that will cover my entire fee, especially because my approaches are research supported and evidenced based. Reimbursement depends on your specific plan and coverage-please check with your insurance provider for details.
