Length of therapy can vary depending on your specific needs and circumstances. Some people come to therapy with a specific issue or concern, and brief  therapy may be the right fit. Often, that can last eight to twelve sessions. Some people come to therapy to explore issues that seem to run a little deeper. They might engage in therapy for several months or even years.

Many people feel nervous before their first appointment, wondering what their therapist will ask, or what they should tell their therapist. Your therapist will primarily want to hear the reasons you made the appointment, what you have already done to try and solve the problem, and what you hope to accomplish in therapy. To better understand you, your therapist will likely want to know how things are going in the important parts of your life (relationships, work, school, etc.) as well as information about your background. If you and your therapist decide to continue working together, you will begin developing goals for therapy. If you do not feel comfortable with your therapist for any reason, please say so, and your therapist will be happy to provide you with a referral to another therapist.

Which means that your out-of-pocket expense will depend on your insurance contract. We will contact your insurance company prior to the first session to verify benefits and copay/coinsurance rates. Please keep us updated on any changes from your insurance provider, as you are responsible for payment of services not covered.

If we don't take your insurance, we can provide you with a superbill that you can use to get out-of-network benefits with your insurance company. 

We accept credit cards, cash, and HSA cards.
