Initial Consultation
The Initial Consultation consists of several sessions. Taking some time with this part of this process helps create a more sure foundation as you and I discern next steps. Together, we have time to hear what's on your mind, for you to get a feel for my approach, and for us to consider arrangements thoughtfully, including the mode of therapy, fees, payment, and whatever else may arise and need our attention from the beginning. From there, I'll offer a recommendation about how I think we might proceed, in order to support what you want and need from treatment.
Sessions
Sessions are 50 minutes, scheduled as standing appointments. Depending on what you and I may decide, sessions may be once or twice a week, or more frequent, three or four times a week. Meeting frequently allows for a sense of interconnectedness and flow, allowing us the best access to what's happening outside of and within the sessions.
Fees
We will work together to establish a fee you can afford. Conversations about the fee occur during the initial consultation and as needed throughout treatment. I provide a monthly financial statement that can be used to file for reimbursement from insurance. If you are using in-network benefits with Hopkins EHP, I will accept your copay and file claims on your behalf. I accept payments using Zelle (for cash transfers) and Ivy (for credit cards, for which there is additional $5 processing fee). Payment is due at the time of each session.
Cancellation Policy
If you anticipate a need to be away during a regularly scheduled session, an alternative time or mode of therapy can usually be arranged. Sessions not cancelled or rescheduled with 48 hours' notice incur the session fee. Further details, and any questions you may have, will be discussed during the Initial Consultation.
