FAQS

Yes. I am currently an in-network provider for:

• Aetna

• BCBS PPO (*not HMO)

• UnitedHealthCare/Optum

• Humana

Your out-of-pocket cost depends of your particular policy. Call your insurance company or look into your Summary Plan Description (available from Human Resources) to brush up on what your insurance policy covers and for how much.

If you have a policy for which I am considered an out-of-network provider, I am happy to provide you with a superbill that you can submit to your insurance company along with a claim so that you can obtain out-of-network reimbursement from your insurance company for our visits.

I see clients on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. My hours on Tuesdays and Wednesdays are from 9 am until 8 pm and on Thursday they are from 9 am until 5 pm. My clients make standing weekly appointments with me.

I am only taking on new clients who are looking to come into the office for in-person services. I am no longer taking new clients who are seeking only virtual therapy sessions. Many other therapists are still offering virtual sessions so please contact your insurance to get a list of telehealth providers or use Psychology Today to find one.

Each session is 50 minutes long. It is preferable that we meet on a weekly basis until we see sustained symptom improvement.

Nope, I provide only individual therapy. My education, training, and background are primarily in modalities and techniques used in individual therapy. I consider myself best equipped to assist clients via one-on-one work. I would be happy to try to assist those seeking couple's and/or family therapy in finding a therapist from among the many skilled family and couple's practitioners in the area.

No. I only work with clients ages 18-65.

No. I do not write these kinds of letters or participate in this process. Some landlords and/or airlines accept these letters from a medical doctor so it's worth finding out and asking your general/primary care practitioner if they can provide this. Other times, landlords/airlines do request the letter be from a therapist or psychiatrist. I have helped clients of mine get connected to other therapists or psychiatrists who do offer these particular services.

I have completed paperwork like this for clients but I only consider it for people with whom I’ve been working for at least 3 months. I wouldn’t feel ethical filling out this kind of paperwork for someone whom I haven’t had a good chance to work with and for whom I don’t have a full clinical picture.
