Telehealth Services

Telehealth therapy services can be ideal for those who need to support with their mental health, have a busy schedule, many roles to play, and want to have sessions in the comfort of their own home. I offer telehealth services through a secure HIPAA compliant platform called Simple Practice to ensure client confidentiality. Telehealth can offer the following advantages:

Fewer Obstacles: no traffic & no parking issues
Convenience: have sessions from your phone or laptop in the comfort of your own space
Ease of Access: makes scheduling easier for those who work long hours & have high stress/demanding jobs (ideal for your schedule)
Calming: being in your own comfortable & safe space can allow you to go deeper in your growth and healing

If you believe this is the right fit for you, reach out today for a free consultation! (*Please note: that this may not be applicable for folks who do not feel safe at home and would like a more confidential space to go to while processing.*)

For those who wish to utilize their PPO insurance coverage, a Superbill will be provided for you to submit to your insurance provider for partial reimbursement. This brings your total out of pocket costs down, allowing you the ability to see the professional of your choice. Please note: A formal diagnosis is required for insurance.

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical and mental health care will cost. Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy services. You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare services, including psychotherapy services. You can ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service. If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises.

How do Superbills work?

How does the therapeutic process work?

Reaching out for support can be a confusing, scary, tiring, and difficult experience. It can also be challenging or intimidating if this is your first time. Here is a brief break down of how the process works when reaching our for services with me:

Call & leave message or send me an email! This is a great way to set up a free 15 min consultation for us to get acquainted with one another and decide if we are a good fit!
Be sure to include: name, pronouns, any other identifying info you feel comfortable sharing, your contact info including your phone number, email address, and lastly two days & times you are available for me to return your call/email.

Once you have thoroughly completed the paperwork before our initial session, we will have already scheduled a day/time to meet for our sessions.
In the beginning of therapy together, I will be gathering as much information from you as possible in order to build rapport and establish what brings you in for support. We will also collaborate on a few goals in order for you to clearly understand your needs and desires throughout your healing process.
Building Rapport: It is important to keep in mind that just like all your other relationships in your life, it will take time for us to become acquainted. Building a relationship with your service provider(s) is crucial and will also play a role in your healing journey.
Once we have spent time working together and you feel things are beginning to confidently flow for you, we can discuss meeting less and eventually parting ways. We will talk about future supports as well and what to expect once we complete our time spent together.
