What to Expect

Before our first appointment together, I’ll send you documents to review and complete to capture important information so that I can better serve you.

The initial appointment is considered a Therapy Intake. During this time we’ll review the paperwork you’ve completed, as well as policies and procedures of the practice. I’ll also answer any initial questions that you may have and we’ll discuss your goals for therapy, pertinent history and health information. We’ll get to know each other so you can consider whether or not my style of therapy is a good fit for you. Goals won’t be finalized in this first session, but it will be helpful to discuss why you’re coming to therapy and what your hopes are for the future.

Accepted Insurance Plans:

  • Optum, United, UBH

    Before starting therapy it is a great idea to contact your insurance company by calling the number on the back of your card for customer assistance or member benefits.

    Important questions to ask:

  • Do I have a copay?

  • Do I have a deductible to meet before the insurance will pay for services?

  • Is prior authorization required?

  • How many sessions are allowed per year?

    If you hold a different insurance carrier than who I am in-network with, you may also want to ask if you are eligible for out-of-network benefits. In this case you may be able to be partially reimbursed for services. I can provide with you with a detailed receipt to submit to your carrier for potential reimbursement.

Regular therapy sessions usually occur once per week, but we can adjust based on your schedule and preference.

Payments are due at the time of your appointment. I accept cash, check and all major credit and debit cards (FSA and HSA cards included).

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate”
explaining how much your medical care will cost
Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have
insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical
items and services.
• You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total
expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes
related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and
hospital fees.
• Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate
in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item.
You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you
choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or
service.
• If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith
Estimate, you can dispute the bill.
• Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
