Services & FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

Do you offer in-person treatment?

Please note that I only offer individual virtual sessions. 

What is the difference between coaching and therapy?

Both coaches and therapists seek to create a supportive relationship with their clients in order to foster the most growth for their clients' individual development while simultaneously enhancing their potential for growth.

Therapy, however, typically focuses on decreasing dysfunction due to common mental health illnesses and to achieve a healthy state of being, while coaching tends to focus on increasing development (of skills, awareness, etc.). It is important to note, here, that only THERAPISTS are qualified to make a diagnosis and provide mental health treatment.

Where therapy primarily focuses on the past and present, coaching primarily focuses on the present and future. But, it is important in therapy to consider the future when measuring the progress you're making and the only way to do that is to see how close you are to the version of yourself you want to be now versus when you began therapy. Conversely, the only way a coach can help you change your current behaviors is to better understand how you have achieved results (or not) in the past. Where therapy tends to focus on thoughts and feelings, coaching focuses on actions and behaviors. 

Do you take insurance?

I do not accept insurance. However, I am happy to provide a super-bill (basically, your itemized receipt) for you to submit to your insurance for potential reimbursement. I recommend you speak with your insurance provider directly to find out if and how much they will reimburse you.

What payment methods do you accept?

Visa, Mastercard, Discover, American Express, and checks if needed.

No Surprises Act / Good Faith Estimate

Under the law, health care providers need to give clients who don't have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy services.

You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare services, including psychotherapy services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.

You can ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service, or at any time during treatment.

If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.

For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, or how to dispute a bill, see your estimate or visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises.

Do you provide services for my child as well?

No. My practice is specifically focused on supporting parents and caregivers. If you are looking for services for your child, I am happy to discuss appropriate referral options with you during a consultation. I am also happy to provide resources to you that can assist in finding the right treatment for them.
