FAQ

How long is a typical session?
A typical session is 45 minutes. However, for sessions that we conduct via Accelerated Resolution Therapy, I may ask you to allow a longer time (60 to 90 minutes) depending on the session’s subject.
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?
The fee for a 45-minute session is $250 unless we otherwise agreed on something different. I accept cash, check, and major credit cards for payment. Payments are due on the day of service.
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?
Sure, you can! I only ask you to please cancel no later than 24 hours before the session. Any cancellation within 24 hours of the scheduled session is subject to the full session fee.
What can I expect in the first session?
The first session is usually the “get to know each other” session. I will gather some history, and you will have the opportunity to ask me your questions.
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.
