How It Works
Booking a session is very easy and comes without frustration. You may either call, email or book your appointment on the calendar under the book a session tab. If for some reason you book your session and the dates conflict, you will receive a call, email or text, the same day. We will gladly reschedule another time for your convenience.
​
Once the date is locked-in, you will receive an email which will give you access to your patient portal. The patient portal will have documents for you to sign such as a consent to treatment, along with other pertinent disclosures and documents. You will then receive an email with an invitation to meet via telehealth (or your mode of choice), which will include the link to connect.
​
All sessions are HIPPA compliant. Your privacy is my priority. Choose the type of communication which best fits your lifestyle and comfort.
​
Online Therapy Sessions, Text Message, Live Chat, or Mobile Services:
​
Online therapy is an alternative and convenient way to communicate rather than an actual face-to-face/in-office session. You have more freedom of choice to utilize either your smartphone, tablet, computer, or other devices which use an internet connection. Online therapy options may include; text messaging, video conferencing, chatting through a portal, or talking over the telephone.

​
What happens during a session?
​
Each session may be different, depending on the type of session you are requesting. However, all initial intake assessments include a thorough interview, which may include some of the following information: your current symptoms and presentation, living situation, trauma-related experiences, medical history, psychiatric history (including family history), developmental history, social history, personal background information (how you grew up, childhood experiences), hobbies, stressors, coping mechanisms, current and past medication history, your strengths, weakness, limitations, and goals.
​
Once the assessment is complete, the next step is to create a treatment plan, which suits your lifestyle. I will provide psychoeducation and supportive therapy regarding your illness, reinforce the major focus of treatment and predictors of prognosis. If you require medication, we will discuss the options, risks and benefits.
Other sessions are specific to your treatment algorithm and goals. The amount of time spent in each session is determine by your needs and will cater to your lifestyle.
​
How does payment work?
If you have insurance, there will be an authorization check with your benefits to see what is covered. Once the benefits are verified, we will both determine what the most effective and cost-efficient approach to choose. Depending on your coverage, you may elect to add additional services and pay out of pocket.
Insurance clients will be billed after services are rendered. Co-pays are paid prior to the session.
Private pay customers will pay for services and will be responsible for services rendered. Once the session is complete, you will complete payment for services rendered.
