Frequently Asked Questions
If you don't see your question answered below, please contact me.
Do you accept insurance?
​
I am in-network with Wellmark/BCBS and can accept most Blue Cross Blue Shield plans.
If you have a different insurance provider and have out-of-network benefits, you may choose to pay out of pocket for services and submit a superbill (provided by me) to your insurance company for possible partial reimbursement.
How much does therapy cost?
​
Individual Therapy: $175 (55 minutes)
​
Initial Appointment/Intake Session: $225 (60-90 minutes)
​
Extended Sessions (sometimes recommended for EMDR): $200 (75 minutes), $225 (90 minutes)
Do you have a sliding scale?
​
I offer a limited number of reduced rate and pro bono therapy services based on availability and client need. Unfortunately, all subsidized slots are currently filled. If you're seeking affordable therapy services, I recommend visiting Open Path Collective, a resource that connects you with therapists offering sliding scale spots for $30-$60 per session.
What do I need for online therapy sessions?
​
You will need the following for online therapy sessions:
​
-
to be located in one of the states where I am licensed to practice (IA, VA, PA, and MI)
-
a quiet, private space that feels relaxed and comfortable to you
-
a stable internet connection
-
a device with video capabilities like a laptop, phone, or tablet
-
optional: your pet, your comfiest clothes, favorite tea, a snack, etc.
How long will I be in therapy?
Therapy is a unique process that's tailored to you and your needs. This applies to duration of treatment as well. We will work together to identify your specific issues and goals and check in regularly to make sure you're getting what you need out of it and determine when you are ready to complete your therapy process.
You may want to target specific issues in just a few sessions, or establish a long-term therapeutic relationship that spans several years, or anywhere in between. We will collaborate to create the best plan for you at your own pace.
