Here's the nitty-gritty...
What to Expect
Making the decision to seek personal inquiry work, therapy, or analysis is a big step. Here is a bit about what you can expect to help you feel more at ease.
Fees and Office Hours
My fee is $240 per 50 minute session. I am not on insurance panels, but if you have a PPO plan I can give you a bill so you can seek reimbursement. My office hours are Monday through Friday 9 am to 6 pm..
Appointments
Ongoing appointments are 50 minutes long and are held at the same time each week. This regularity helps us get to know each other and provides a structure for us to begin tackling the particular difficulties you are struggling with. Regular and consistent appointments are essential to get to the heart of the matter. If you have reservations about the therapy process, I may suggest we start by meeting four or five times to see how it goes. I meet with people a minimum of once a week.
The First Appointment
Our first appointment will be a consultation, where we can discuss what's going on for you and if I can help. In this meeting, I will work to put you at ease and to help you describe your difficulties. Please know that I will never be critical or judgmental. During the first appointment I will invite you to tell me about what brings you to this work and to tell me about yourself. Once I have a feel for your particular needs, I'll make a treatment recommendation. I'll describe some of the ideas I have about what I think is going on with you and how we might work together and how it could help. We'll also discuss other possible treatment modalities for you that might be appropriate. I'll ask you how you feel talking with me, and we'll mutually decide if it feels like a fit.
How Treatment Works
Early in our work together, I will collaborate with you to come up with goals, keeping in mind that they may change in the course of our work. In the course of our time together I will ask you to be as honest as you can about your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. At times I will be active with you in helping to understand and manage particular difficulties. At other times we may be more reflective. But you will always have my complete attention.
Payment
I am not on insurance panels. If you have PPO health insurance, I will provide you with a bill you can submit to seek reimbursement for my services. However I do not deal directly with insurance companies, and you will need to verify their reimbursement policy.
