About Therapy

Confidentiality

Issues discussed in therapy are held in the strictest of confidence with the exception of certain things. State law requires that I report child abuse, elder abuse, suicidality or serious threats of physical violence toward another person. All mental health clinicians are required to take whatever steps necessary to prevent a threatened suicide. If I need to consult with another professional, this could only be done with your written consent.

Frequency and Length of Sessions

Sessions are usually 50 minutes in length, once a week. Sometimes it may be best considering a client's therapeutic needs to meet more often. Couples and family sessions usually last one hour or longer depending on the needs of the clients. Groups are typically 1.5 - 2 hours.

How Long Will I Be In Treatment?

Length of treatment varies from client to client. Some clients come in with one certain issue and may need only a few sessions. Some clients are seeking long-term therapy. We will work together to set goals and discuss treatment length.

Cancellation Policy

I have a 24 hour cancellation policy. This means you are required to cancel a session within 24 hours or my full fee will be charged.

Fees

My full fee is $150/hour. I do use a sliding scale if necessary and will be happy to discuss this with you. Payment is to be made at the end of each session.

I accept UBH, Blue Cross, Pacificare and Blue Shield insurance at this time.

If you want to use insurance other than those listed above, you will need to pay me directly. I can provide you with an invoice (“superbill”) which you can then submit to your insurance company to get reimbursement.

Are We A Good Fit?

It is very important to feel comfortable with your therapist. When looking for a therapist, make sure you feel that you can openly discuss your issues and concerns with them. If we are not a fit, I will be happy to give you referrals to other therapists.
