How long is a typical session?
What do I do to get started?
Give me a call, text, or send me an email. We will discuss some general facts and schedule our first session date.
Before the first scheduled session, I will send you some forms to fill out electronically and send them back to me 24 hours before our scheduled meeting. That’s it. We are good to go!
What is the hourly fee, and how do I pay?
Do you accept insurance?
No. Unfortunately, insurance companies are not very accommodating when it comes to mental health services.
I prefer my focus to be fully present around my clients and the most appropriate course of action for them rather than navigating and adjusting the treatment to satisfy the insurance requirements.
Can I cancel an appointment? Do you have a cancellation policy?
What can I expect in the first session?
Can I come in only for Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) without talk therapy?
YES, YES, and YES! ART is used as a stand-alone treatment to give you relief from most phobias, traumatic memories, flashbacks, and similar issues.
If you want to learn more about this option, please contact me. I will provide more information about utilizing ART without talk therapy.
What do you expect from me in therapy?
The most important thing for you is to show up – and to show up even when you don’t want to show up.
Therapy might feel uncomfortable to some. It may bring up feelings and memories that you’ve been pushing away for a long time, and it is only natural to dread showing up for sessions. I promise that there will come a time when you look forward to your sessions!
Therapy is a process. It doesn’t end when your session ends. To see the full effect, you need to utilize and incorporate your new-learned knowledge into your daily life and relationships.
