Here are answers to common questions about therapy, insurance, payment, scheduling, and what to expect when beginning work together.
I am currently in-network with Aetna, Highmark, and Quest Behavioral plans.
For insurance clients, please contact your insurance provider before beginning therapy to confirm your mental health benefits, whether I am in-network with your specific plan, and whether you have a deductible. Some plans require you to meet a yearly deductible before they begin covering mental health services.
For all other clients, payment is due at the time of service. I can provide a monthly superbill with the information needed to submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement.
50–55 minute psychotherapy session: $200
The intake process occurs during the first several sessions.
I accept most major credit cards, Venmo, and HSA cards.
Helpful questions to ask include:
Being in private practice by myself allows me to provide thoughtful, high-quality care to my clients. I value being responsive and timely when questions or concerns come up, and I appreciate having the time and energy to develop individualized treatment plans.
I have years of experience and training in DBT, but I do not run a comprehensive DBT program at my practice. I do provide DBT-informed therapy, which means I use DBT principles and skills in sessions with clients who may benefit from them.
I value collaborating with parents to understand the history of the teen’s concerns and involve them in treatment when helpful. This may include family sessions, progress updates, safety planning, or helping parents learn the same skills their teen is practicing in therapy.
Yes. I see clients in person at my office in King of Prussia, PA, on Tuesdays. I offer virtual therapy on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays.
No. As a psychologist, I specialize in providing evidence-based psychotherapy. If I believe medication could be a helpful addition to our work, I can recommend psychiatrists for you to consult with.
The first session is an intake session. We’ll review your current symptoms and concerns, as well as your social, emotional, and biological history, so I can understand what’s bringing you to therapy and how to best support you.
The first few sessions after intake are focused on developing our therapeutic relationship, providing feedback, and creating a treatment plan. It’s important that we build safety, trust, and a shared understanding of the problems, what is maintaining them, and what we’ll work on together.
Most clients begin with weekly sessions. Weekly therapy gives us time to build our relationship, maintain consistency, and practice skills that support progress. Biweekly or monthly sessions are usually reserved for clients who have improved over time and need less support to maintain progress.
When we plan treatment together, I can give you a general idea of how long I expect treatment to last. It is difficult to predict exactly. Some people feel better within a few months, while others may benefit from therapy for a year or longer.
When we schedule an appointment, that time is reserved for you. I ask that you provide more than 24 hours’ notice if you need to cancel. If less than 24 hours’ notice is given, you will be responsible for a cancellation fee.
Reach out and I’ll be happy to help you determine whether we may be a good fit.
