FAQ
Why therapy?
Similar to how we go see a doctor when we are not feeling well or for check-ups, therapy is also important. Therapy consists of a person’s overall wellness such as mental, physical, and emotional, and spiritual. Many seek therapy for anxiety, stress, loneliness, feelings of being pressured by parents or friends, relationship difficulties, sadness, or having difficulty with adjusting to life changes. Therapy is about seeking support in a nonjudgmental, unbiased, and a safe space.
How long therapy will last?
The length of therapy will depend on each person and their needs. Therapy can range from a several weeks, months, or longer.
How often will therapy occur?
Sessions will take place once a week via a video therapy session. A link will be provided to you in order to log into a secure HIPPA compliant and private video platform.

Do you accept insurance?
I currently accept only Cigna health insurance and self-pay clients. If you have insurance that’s not Cigna, it is possible that your insurance company may provide some reimbursement. Please contact your insurance company for further information regarding reimbursement rates.

- What are my deductibles?
- What is my co-pay amount?
What are your payment methods?
A credit card is required to remain on file in accordance with policy. Payments for all services must be paid before the date and time of appointment.

Please be aware that the initial psychiatric diagnostic evaluation can be between 1-2 sessions. Following the psychiatric diagnostic evaluation, ongoing individual therapy sessions are $150 for 45-60 minute sessions.
