FAQ

You may complete my contact form, providing basic details and asking any questions you have. I prefer to speak on the phone for a few minutes before scheduling our first appointment. This gives us both an opportunity to see if we are a good fit for each other and if I am the best fit to support you with your current needs. If I feel another therapist can better meet your needs I will help you with an appropriate referral.

I schedule appointments Monday 10-6, Tuesday & Thursday 9-7, and Wednesday 9-4. Therapy appointments are 53 minutes in length. 

I accept check, debit and credit cards.

While I do not accept most insurances (Aetna being the only insurance currently taken), if you would like to submit a bill to your plan, I would be happy to provide you with a bill with all the necessary information and your plan can reimburse you directly. Prior to starting services you may want to check with your insurance to see if you have “out-of-network” or “non-participating-provider” benefits. Your insurance company can tell you what portion of my fees they are willing to reimburse to you and whether you have a deductible that needs to be met before they begin reimbursement. 

Appointments last for 53 minutes.

The length of time in therapy will depend on needs and identified goals for treatment. Some clients have very specific needs or goals that can be addressed in a short amount of time, whereas others have goals or needs that take more time to work through.

Simple Practice makes it easy for you to book appointments, view you insurance information, and communicate with me. The software is designed to be user-friendly and intuitive, so clients can easily find the information they need.

Here are some of the features of Simple Practice that make it easy for clients to use

• Secure messaging: Clients can communicate with their therapist securely through Simple Practice's messaging system. They can send messages, documents, and files to their therapist, and their therapist can respond to them securely.

• Client portal: Clients have their own personal portal in Simple Practice where they can view their appointment history, insurance information, and secure messages. They can also download documents and forms from their portal.
