FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONs
Where is your office located?
My office is located in Be Well Office Suites - 390 Commerce Drive, Fort Washington, PA 19034. I also offer online therapy. Please see the Contact page for location information.
What are your hours?
I have a flexible schedule and do not hold specific office hours. I do not accept walk-ins, so please contact me to schedule complimentary phone consultation and we can discuss the scheduling of future appointments if you wish at that time.
What can I expect when I contact you?
If you call and I am unable to answer the phone, I will contact you within 24 hours. If you send an email or message through my contact page, I will respond within 24 hours to arrange a time we may speak over the phone. When we speak on the phone, I’ll listen to you with compassion and I will ask you some questions to better understand what you are seeking.
How long are the sessions?
My sessions with clients are generally 60 minutes long. For clients that require more time we can discuss meeting on a more regular basis or extending the length of our sessions based on your needs and session availability.
What is the cost?
For psychotherapy and coaching services, the rate is $150 per 60 minute session. This rate allows me to be fully present and provide unparalleled services by having fewer clients that I can focus on with more intensity and care. It also provides greater privacy and flexibility for my clients. With my services you are not just a number, you get all of me. You will notice the difference in the quality of care that I am able to provide. Your mental health is a great place to invest, and the dividends of leading a more fulfilling and authentic life are priceless. For rates of clinical supervision services, consultation, speaking and training’s please inquire.
What payments are accepted?
I accept cash, check, health savings accounts (HSA) and all major credit cards. Payment is due at time of service. If you prefer, you can authorize an automatic payment system so that billing and payment will occur as services take place automatically.
What is your cancellation policy?
Sessions cancelled within less than 24 hours of scheduled time will be billed at the full session rate.
Do you take insurance?
I do not accept insurance for payment — however if you have out of network coverage you may qualify for partial or complete reimbursement through your insurance provider.
Check your coverage carefully and find the answers to the following questions:
Do I have mental health insurance benefits?
What is my deductible and has it been met?
How many sessions per year does my health insurance cover?
Is there a maximum?
What is the maximum allowable coverage amount per out-patient office visit therapy session?
Does my insurance company require pre-certification?
Do I need a referral from my primary care physician?
I am happy to provide receipts of our sessions, known as superbills, for you to submit to your insurance company. Please keep in mind that only your insurance provider can guarantee reimbursement.
Is what we discuss confidential?
Everything we discuss in sessions will remain confidential with one exception. If a patient expresses intent to harm themselves, others, or reports an instance of child or elder abuse, I am required by law to alert the appropriate authorities. In the event of this occurrence, I will make every effort to ensure my clients safety and well-being.
Do you provide phone or web-based therapy services?
Yes! I can provide web and phone-based services on an as-needed basis when in-person sessions don’t make sense either due to availability or a life situation.
