The first step is to contact me, either by phone or email. We will talk briefly and try to determine whether it makes sense to schedule an appointment for you for your child. The first couple of meetings are a "get to know you". I would like to hear about what's going on that may be bringing you in to see me so that I can get a better sense of whether or not therapy, and specifically the type of therapy that I practice, will be helpful. After a couple of meetings, I can give you my recommendations. This is also an opportunity for you to determine whether you would be comfortable working with me. If we decide to work together, the next step is to formulate a treatment plan, including goals, frequency of visits, etc.

While I am not an in-network provider, my services will be reimbursable through out-of-network benefits. I will assist you to file claims necessary to be reimbursed. I recommend that you contact your insurance provider and ask specifically about "out -of-network benefits for outpatient mental or behavioral health." The following questions will also be helpful:

• Do I have a deductible that must be met?
• How many sessions per benefit year does my plan cover?
• What is the covered amount per therapy session with a licensed clinical psychologist?
• Do I need a referral from my primary care physician prior to seeing a psychologist?

I require 24 hours notice for cancelled or rescheduled appointments unless there is an illness or emergency. Missed appointments are charged in full.

I accept cash, checks and credit card (VISA and Mastercard).

The fee is determined by the type of service provided and will be discussed at the onset of treatment.

Individual therapy sessions are typically 45-50 minutes in length, but this can vary. Couples and family sessions are generally 60 minutes long. It is most common that we would meet on a weekly basis, but in certain situations meeting twice a week is recommended.
