What insurances do you take?
I currently accept AETNA, CIGNA, HEALTHY CONNECTIONS MEDICAID, SELECT HEALTH/ FIRST CHOICE MEDICAID, BLUE CROSS BLUE SHIELD, HUMANA, and FIRST SUN EAP. Please note that I will need to verify your specific plan for eligibility before providing services.
What do i need to do before the first session?
After scheduling the diagnostic assessment, I will send you a secure link to complete the intake paperwork. If your child is the client, having a conversation with them about what therapy is and what to expect can help them adjust more easily to the process.
Are referrals required?
Referrals are welcome, but not required. You can self-refer.
how long does it take to see improvement?
Progress depends on many factors, including consistency, active collaboration, and frequent feedback. Clients usually find the most success when changes are made both during and outside of sessions. I am fully invested in your progress and ready to dig in.
How will we know that we are ready to graduate therapy?
Therapy is designed to be a temporary support that provides you with the tools and skills needed to make consistent progress. Graduation from therapy is on the horizon when individuals and families feel like they have reached the point of “I’ve got it from here!”
How long do sessions last?
Generally, sessions will be around 50-60 minutes. However, 1.5 - 2 hour sessions are available upon request.
