Frequently Asked Questions
Some therapy considerations require time in sessions, such as feelings of trust and connection, and how much value you’re getting out of our time together. Here are a few of the most common questions I receive, to consider before we schedule your initial session.
Who do you work with? I provide individual therapy for adults and late teens. I love how initial symptom relief can transform into a powerful growth path. The application of mindfulness-based therapy is well-researched for wide-ranging benefits, including but not limited to helping with stress, pain, anxiety, relationships, emotional suffering, mood disorders, ADD/ADHD, recovery and positive change. Your reason for being here is personal to you, and I don’t require specific diagnostic criteria to work together. Please however, keep in mind that my practice is a non-emergency service.
Do I have to meditate? No, mindfulness-based therapy can simply be about how I’m showing up for you in sessions. Mindfulness can be practiced in formal and informal ways, and I would love to teach you practices to do at home or together, always within the bounds of your choice. Meditation can be intimidating, and there are even circumstances in which certain practices would be contraindicated. We’ll be creative and come up with what works for you.
Do you see clients in person? Yes, I see clients in my Longmont therapy office. I believe therapy is best conducted in a private setting, in-person, with minimal distractions. However, I understand that for a number of reasons, client may need to see me virtually. I offer a convenient way to choose in-person sessions, video sessions, or some hybrid of both.
How often do we meet? We will discuss your goals, including what feels like an appropriate amount of sessions. Most of my clients begin by seeing me weekly or biweekly. Therapy can be short-term or long-term, lasting weeks, months, or even years. You consent to each session, and we will celebrate your growth when our time comes to an end.
How much does therapy cost? The cost of therapy depends on the frequency and duration of our time together. My rate is $175 per 50-minute session. Payment is due at the time of service. I accept credit cards, debit cards, HSA/FSA cards, checks and cash payments.
Do you accept insurance? No, I am considered an “out-of-network provider” and do not bill insurance directly. I can provide a “superbill” — the required documentation for out-of-network (OON) reimbursement. Please review your insurance plan if you intend to pursue out-of-network benefits. I do not bill Medicaid.
What is your cancellation policy? I require at least 48-hour notice to cancel an appointment without being charged for the session. Clients schedule sessions based on availability, and a session scheduled for one is a session made unavailable to another. Please let me know if scheduling challenges might compromise our time together.
