1. How long does a session last?
Answer: A session typically lasts 50 minutes.
2. Is your office handicapped accessible?
Answer: Yes, but door openings are standard size.
3. Do you do phone sessions?
Answer: Face-to-face sessions are preferred. Occasionally, circumstances
may keep a client from being able to attend a scheduled session and a
phone session would be appropriate. There are also certain medical
conditions that warrant phone sessions such as a high risk bed rest
pregnancy or post-surgical situations.
4. I am using my insurance. Will my copay be the same as when I see my primary-care physician?
Answer: Unlikely, but possible. Each policy is different and most policies
have different parameters for mental health. You may call your insurance
company or I can verify benefits for you.
5. What does confidential really mean? When would my information
be shared with anyone?
Answer: If you use your insurance, diagnosis codes will be used for
reimbursement purposes. Health care professionals are mandated reporters.
This means we are mandated by law to report child abuse, intended/planned harm to an identified person, or intended/planned harm to oneself.
