Online therapy can be conducted in any private location with good internet connection. You may use your telephone, laptop, or tablet. You will be given a meeting ID and password to connect via Zoom. Due to licensing regulations, individuals must be located in Ohio, Michigan, Maryland, or Florida during the time of your appointment.

During your first appointment, we'll review the answers on your intake paperwork and explore your goals together. We will review both where you’ve been and where you want to go. We'll also discuss the therapeutic process, confidentiality, and any additional questions you have. Just like in all sessions you’re never required to share information you’re not ready to. I work every session to EARN your trust by showing up authentic in the therapy space.

The frequency of our appointments will depend on your individual needs and the treatment plan we develop together. We will work together to find a consistent day and time in the schedule that works for you. Typically, sessions occur weekly or bi-weekly. As therapy progresses and you make progress toward your goals, we reassess and adjust the frequency as needed. Open communication about your preferences and progress will guide the scheduling of our sessions to ensure the most effective and supportive therapeutic experience.

For clients whose insurance I am out of network with or those who choose to not have their information shared with their insurance company, the cost of the first appointment is $200 and the follow up sessions are $165 each.

If I am in network with your insurance, your specific plan actually sets the rates you pay for therapy. You may contact your insurance company directly for an explanation of what your specific plan covers.

Using your insurance plan may provide a slight discount to the cost of your therapy.

If you utilize your insurance, I am required to give you a mental health diagnosis, which becomes a part of your permanent medical record.

A diagnosis can negatively affect you in the future if you apply for life insurance, go through a divorce, child custody battle, or have a high profile job that requires higher clearance (ie: pilot, law enforcement, FBI, etc).

Please also note that using insurance requires consent for the insurance company to access the provided diagnosis and progress notes, which include details about your therapy goals and progress made in session.

This is a mandate created by insurance companies in order to utilize your plans coverage.

Because each insurance plan varies, I recommend contacting your insurance company directly or check their user portal to find out if online therapy, also known as teletherapy, is a covered service. You would also benefit from asking about your deductible and copay. The billing codes I use are 90791 (first appointment known as your “intake” appointment) and 90837 (follow up therapy sessions).

The duration of therapy varies for each individual and depends on your specific goals and progress. Some people find relief and achieve their objectives in a few months, while others may benefit from longer-term therapy. The decision to continue or conclude therapy is a collaborative process, and your voice is honored as we assess your progress to ensure that the duration and focus of therapy align with your evolving needs and goals.

If you have out-of-network insurance coverage, you can request a document known as a Superbill. This form allows you to submit claims to your insurance company for reimbursement. Payment for sessions is due at the time of service, and at the end of each month, I’ll provide you with a detailed Superbill. Once you’ve met your deductible, your insurance company may reimburse you directly for eligible expenses
