Frequently Asked Questions
-
Support systems are amazing and a resource we highly encourage! However, coming to therapy and speaking with a mental health trained professional who has the skill, knowledge and education to help you with whatever it is that has brought you into therapy is the key difference.
-
By coming to therapy, we can provide you with different perspectives and viewpoints, skill sets and coping mechanisms. We provide a safe and non-judgmental space for you to speak and for us to listen. This is a chance for you to take a glance at yourself without any expectations.
-
What you can expect from a therapy session with us is first and foremost, building a therapeutic relationship. Like any relationship to thrive, we have to click and trust each other. Therapy is a two-way street, and we believe that therapy works best if the therapist and the client mesh well. Therefore, we begin by simply talking. Getting to know our client and our client’s systems (relationships, home life, work life, social life, etc.) is very important. We then delve into what brings you into the room, and begin to acknowledge your strengths and resources, we provide different perceptions, and much more. Ultimately, we meet you where you are to create, empower and support!
-
Each session is 50 minutes. Though, we meet our clients where they are. If we are in a groove, and we go to the hour that is absolutely fine. If the client feels they have accomplished what they wanted in 45 minutes, that okay too. This is your time, and we will spend it appropriately.
-
We are exclusively a virtual boutique private practice. Our sessions are conducted via a secure HIPAA-compliant Telehealth platform. In our experience, we have seen equal success through Telehealth. It is the showing up that makes the difference!
-
There is not a one-size fits all. Every individual client is different, from their situation to their willingness to participate. Ultimately, the length of counseling depends on you and what your needs are.
-
We are both a private pay private practice and participate with select insurance plans. If you do meet the criteria for a mental health diagnosis and your insurance company happens to be a PPO or any plan that allows you out of network benefits, we can provide you with a Superbill that you can submit to your insurance company for potential reimbursement. We encourage you to confirm with your insurance company for further details, and we are happy to discuss more. As for insurance plans, we participate in:
Optum
Oscar
UnitedHealthcare
Aetna
Cigna

By private pay, paying out of pocket, this offers you confidentiality from reviews or access to records, flexibility from choosing your therapist to frequency of visits. We are happy to answer any other questions.
