FAQs

  • The length of treatment can vary greatly depending on your goals, availability, and preferences. Our therapists will work with you to design a treatment plan that fits your needs, and your schedule.

  • We are out-of-network providers, which means we do not work directly with insurance plans. Instead, we provide you with a billing statement each month for you to submit to your insurance company.

    Most insurance companies will reimburse you between 40%-80% of my fee. Prior to meeting, we recommend you call your insurance company to clarify your benefit plan. Helpful questions include:

    1) Do you reimburse for an out-of-network psychologist (behavioral health) and if so how much or at what percentage?

    2) Do I have a deductible I have to meet first?

  • There are several reasons we have chosen to remain out-of-network with insurance companies. First and foremost, many insurance companies dictate the type, frequency, and duration of therapy sessions they allow their members. It is our opinion that those clinical decisions should remain between therapist and patient. Secondly, insurance companies often ask for a good deal of clinical information about their members. We favor protecting the confidentiality of the treatment and your privacy.

  • Absolutely! Will provide you with all the paperwork you need.

  • Yes. In compliance with the "No Surprises Act" enacted in December 2020, we am now required to provide an annual "Good Faith Estimate" of your anticipated costs and services for each year. The information provided is only an estimate and is subject to change in fees and your treatment needs. Any changes would be discussed with you in session. For more detailed information about our billing practices, please refer to your intake paperwork. You may request a copy of that document at any time.

  • We are so glad you are interested in working with our practice. Reach out to us through our contact form or give us a call at (202) 630-5066 and will help you set up a consultation call.

  • Absolutely. We encourage all prospective clients to hold consultation calls. These calls are complimentary and are a great opportunity to ask questions and see if the therapist feels like a good fit for your needs.

  • During our first session, we will talk about what concerns brought you in to therapy. We will also ask questions to get information about your background and history. We will go at your own pace, making sure you are comfortable and feel secure. You will also have the opportunity to ask questions. Using the information we discuss during the first few sessions, we will formulate and discuss a treatment plan with you.

  • Intake appointments are 60 minutes and therapy sessions are 45-60 minutes.

  • Typically, we see patients once a week. After our first session, we will agree upon a time that will be held for you each week. We will discuss the frequency of sessions and length of treatment in more detail when we develop a treatment plan.
