How do we proceed?
Insurance: Most insurance companies will accept my National Provider Identification number and I will provide you with the invoice and all necessary information for you to file your insurance. I accept Blue Cross Blue Shield, CIGNA, Aetna, MultiPlan and Self Pay. For these companies I will take a co-pay and bill your insurance for you.
Please do not let finances stop you from reaching out. I offer a sliding scale and we can always work something out.
Simply request a free 15 minute consultation to see if I am the therapist for you OR go ahead and set an appointment and we can do our initial intake then.
The Process: I agree to listen carefully to your concerns and do what I can to make sure you leave each session with a new perspective, a sense of hopefulness, and ideas for ways to bring yourself closer to your goals. You agree to participate fully during each session and spend a minimum of 2 hours each week on homework related to your goals which would include but not be limited to, reading and journaling. The counseling process does not have to be a long drawn out process. Sometimes, depending on the issue(s) at hand, therapy can be concluded in just a few sessions.
Confidentiality: I agree to treat all information you give me as confidential and I will not release information about you to anyone without your written consent, with these exceptions:
1) If I believe you may be in danger of harming yourself (or someone else), I will not hesitate to report my concerns to the appropriate person/professional/institution/ organization.
2) If I am subpoenaed by the courts to surrender your records.
3) If you’ve indicated on your Intake form that I may contact you via email, I may do so on occasion to offer homework suggestions, respond to questions, or schedule appointments.
Adjunctive Care: You agree to tell me if you are currently under the care of another mental health professional, are receiving significant medical care, or are using prescription drugs or other chemicals on a regular basis. You also agree to sign a Release of Information so I may coordinate your care with other healthcare providers.

Payment using a Sliding Scale will be considered in cases of severe financial hardship. (It would be a travesty if someone who needed counseling did not get it because of financial reasons. )

Emergencies: If there is an emergency and you need to speak with someone immediately, you should call 911 at once. Do NOT wait for me to return your call. If you need to contact me between sessions you can always leave me a message and I will return your call during regular work hours (M – F 9AM – 6PM). If you are calling to discuss something that will take more than a couple of minutes, I will suggest that you schedule a phone session or regular appointment to address your concerns.
