Are you a good fit for me and my concerns?
Great question!— the fit between therapist and client is extremely important. It is the foundation for which we/you do some of the most intimate and vulnerable work of your life. I honor the importance and the anxiety it can cause to start a therapeutic relationship and offer full 50-55 minute consultation to discuss your needs and answer any questions. If you decide to move forward, I will use the first 4 sessions to establish rapport and support you in identifying your goals. I’ll explicitly check in with you about how you feel about the progression of the work and if the relationship is serving you.
Are you connecting with clients virtually or in-person?
All sessions are conducted virtually at this time and until further notice.
What platform do you use for virtual sessions?
All of your sessions will be conducted through a HIPAA compliant platform called SimplePractice. You will sign and complete all intake paperwork electronically through this platform, and it will also host our video appointments.
How often will we meet?
We will meet once a week for the first 4 weeks. This will allow us to establish rapport and build momentum as it relates to your goals. It also gives you a chance to decide (sooner rather than later) whether or not this relationship is a good fit. After the first four weeks, you and I will collaborate to determine the frequency of sessions, based on your goals and your desire.
What are your session fees?
The cost of an initial session/consultation is $215. All other appointments are $200/per session. Payment is due on the day of session and it is required that a credit card is put on file. Cash and checks are not accepted.
Do you accept insurance?
We are able to provide a SUPERBILL for your appointments, which you can submit to insurance for reimbursement. We, do not, however accept insurance.
What are the times available for session?
At ACW, sessions are conducted Monday through Thursday. Typically, the first session of the day is at 9 am and the last session of day is at 5 pm.
How long are sessions at ACW?
Each session, including the initial session, is 52-55 minutes. Ask about 90 minute sessions for couple’s counseling.
What is the cancellation policy at ACW?
The cancellation policy for all sessions is 24 hours. We understand that things come up and that we cannot always control the circumstances of our busy lives, so let’s work together to create a schedule that minimizes your need to cancel and that works both for you and your therapist.
