I’m nervous about starting therapy. What is expected of me?

While it takes great courage to ask for professional help, it's totally normal to feel nervous when doing so for the first time. Aside from completing a few forms before the first session, rest assured you can show up as you are—scattered, overwhelmed, or even unsure about therapy. I will go at your pace as we figure out your concerns and how we can best alleviate them.

How long does therapy last?

It is important to note that therapy is often not an instant fix, nor a linear process. You may have periods where you feel worse before feeling better. It can take months or years to fully process concerns and issues, depending on your unique circumstances. I ask adult clients to commit to at least three months to feel changes and parents of my child clients to commit to at least six months before noticing improvements.

Do you offer in-person services?

I currently do not provide in-person services. I provide virtual sessions using a HIPAA compliant telehealth platform.

Do I need to be from an underrepresented population (BIPOC, LGBTQ+, immigrant) to work with you?

While I specialize in working with minority communities, I am happy to work with clients from all backgrounds.

How do Out of Network (OON) Benefits work?

To find out if you have OON benefits, please call your insurance and ask the following questions:

• What are my out-of-network behavioral health benefits?

• Is there an out-of-network deductible? If so:

  • How much is the deductible? 

  • Is the deductible renewed annually or is it a one-time deductible?

• Can I choose my therapist and submit receipts for reimbursement?

• Are there any limitations to how many services will be covered a year?

• How much can I expect to be reimbursed?

• How long does it take to get reimbursed?

• Can I choose my therapist and submit receipts for reimbursement?

• Do I need a referral from a primary doctor?

What is your cancellation policy?

I ask that my clients cancel at least 24 hours in advance. Otherwise, a late cancellation fee of $50 will be applied.

How do I become a client?

I offer a free 15-minute consultation call to help you determine if we are a good fit. If I don’t respond, please leave your name and number and I will get back to you within 48 hours.
