Frequently asked questions.

Please note that I only offer individual virtual 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.

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.

Payment is due at the time of service.

For therapy clients, my fee is $300 per session. Each session is 50 minutes. Full fee is charged for cancellations that occur less than 48 hours before our scheduled time.

For coaching clients, my fee is also $300. We will meet four times and I can then determine whether coaching is the service indicated for your needs.

I do reserve 1–2 slots for sliding scale patients. Please let me know in our consultation phone call if this is something you would like to request.

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

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.
