FAQ

The number of sessions varies from person to person. Some clients make great progress and meet their goals in a few sessions, while others uncover deeper issues and choose to continue their therapy over a longer period. Ultimately, the decision is in your hands, and we’ll work together to set the pace.

I am not currently on insurance panels. Insurance companies often impose restrictions and require access to your personal information to determine what they will cover. This can limit the therapeutic relationship we build. Instead, I offer a service where I provide you with a receipt that you can submit directly to your insurance company for reimbursement once you meet your deductible. This allows us to maintain control over the number of sessions and ensures your privacy is respected.

No, I don’t charge extra if we go over time. While I strive to begin and end sessions on time, if we do happen to go a little over, you won’t be charged an additional fee. The focus is on your healing, not on clock-watching.

The most common schedule is once a week, though that’s not a hard and fast rule. Some clients choose every other week due to time or financial constraints, while others opt for twice-weekly sessions to maintain momentum. Therapy is an investment in yourself, and scheduling more frequently can enhance the work we do together.

No, there’s no obligation. I recommend scheduling at least three sessions to get a good sense of whether we’re a good fit. If, after a few sessions, you feel that I’m not the right therapist for you, I’d be happy to discuss your concerns and, if needed, refer you to someone else who may better suit your needs.

The most important thing to bring to your first session is an open mind and a willingness to explore. You don’t need to have everything figured out—simply come ready to talk about what’s been on your mind or any challenges you're facing. We’ll take it from there and work at a pace that feels comfortable for you.

It’s completely normal to feel nervous or uncertain, especially if it’s your first time seeking therapy. Know that it’s a safe, non-judgmental space, and you’re in control of the process. If you’re feeling unsure, we can talk about it during our sessions, and I’ll help guide you through your concerns.

While I don’t offer 24/7 availability, I am happy to support you between sessions in appropriate ways. If you’re facing an urgent issue or need guidance, you can reach out through email or text, and I will respond during my office hours. I also provide resources and coping strategies that can help between sessions.
