Comprehensive Answers
I’ve compiled a list of the most frequent questions that I have received over my career. It’s normal and encouraged for patients to ask many questions when choosing to work with a Therapist. Here are some answers to the questions I receive the most. If you can’t find what you are looking for, please get in touch.
WHAT THERAPEUTIC TECHNIQUES DO YOU USE?
I am trained and experienced in a variety of therapeutic techniques and theories. I utilize an eclectic approach in working with clients with a strong emphasis on Cognitive-Behavioral approaches and Skills based techniques. I tailor my approach and techniques to suit the individual needs of each client.
DO YOU OFFER SLIDING SCALE RATES?
While I do not offer sliding scale rates, I do offer discounted pre-paid packages of 5 and 10 sessions (excluding the initial visit) to assist clients who do not have out-of-network insurance benefits, or who are ready to commit to consistent or longer term care and just want to save some money.
HOW LONG DOES EACH THERAPY SESSION TAKE?
The first session can run between 60 and 75 minutes. Subsequent sessions are normally 45 minutes, however, 60 or 90 minute sessions can be scheduled depending on the time needed or preferred by each client. Longer session times beyond 45 minutes must be scheduled in advance for the desired amount of time.
