Frequently Asked Questions
What is Psychotherapy?
Psychotherapy is a mode of mental health treatment that involves talking through stressors and concerns with a trained mental health professional. It has been shown to aid individuals in coping with an array of mental, emotional, and even physical challenges. When engaging in psychotherapy with a provider that you trust, it has been proven to increase life satisfaction, enhance well-being, improve communication and relationships, and help individuals heal from trauma and loss.
How long can I expect
to be in therapy?
The length of treatment is different for everyone and depends on your unique therapy goals. My focus is always on helping you feel relief as soon as possible and helping support you for as long as you need.
What form of payments and insurance do you take?
Psychotherapy for Women, LLC is not paneled with insurance companies and all services are considered fee for service, meaning you are responsible for the full fee at the time of each appointment. Not being contracted with insurance companies allows your treatment to be tailored to meet your specific needs without time frames and limitations that insurance companies paying for treatment can impose.
While I am out of network, I understand the need to use insurance benefits if you have them. For individuals who have out of network (OON) benefits, I use a billing platform that immediately verifies your OON benefits and files claims on your behalf to ensure you are able to receive reimbursement. This allows you as the Client to focus on your treatment while seeing the provider YOU want and get reimbursed without the hassle. Every insurance payor and plan is different, therefore it’s important to speak to your insurance provider directly for any questions you may have.
If you choose not to use your insurance benefits or are uninsured, you are required to receive a good faith estimate outlining the estimated total cost of treatment you could be charged. For more information on this, as well as your rights under the “No Surprises Act,” please review the disclosure below.
How Are Appointments Conducted?
All appointments are completed via secured video from the comfort of your home or office. I use a HIPPA compliant software that allows us to meet virtually while ensuring your privacy is protected. I find completing appointments virtually allows you as the Client to have more flexibility to attend your therapy appointments with less hassle. You are welcome to use any device to complete the appointments, as long as the device has both microphone and camera capabilities.
