FEES AND FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
(PLEASE FEEL FREE TO REACH OUT IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS NOT ANSWERED ON THIS PAGE!)
How do i get started?
The first step in working together is setting up a free consultation call. This is where I can tell you more about myself, you can tell me what’s bringing you to therapy and what you’re looking for, and we can make sure it feels like we’re a good fit to work together.
From there I do an intake for our initial appointment, and we figure out what kind of schedule for therapy will work best for what you need and want.
Do you accept insurance?
I am an out of network provider, so I do not work directly with any insurance company. I do provide monthly Superbills that can be submitted to insurance for reimbursement, so you’ll want to look into your out-of-network mental health benefits for potential reimbursement.
WHY MIGHT SEEING AN OUT-OF-NETWORK PROVIDER BENEFIT ME as a client?
There are lots of different reasons why someone may choose to see a therapist who is out-of-network with insurance, including more options to find the right therapist or enhanced feelings of privacy, as you decide if you want to submit the bills (and diagnosis) to insurance. As a provider, a big part of the reason I choose to be out-of-network is that it allows me more flexibility in being able to meet you where you’re at and provide really personalized treatment based on our relationship and my professional knowledge, and not dictated or influenced by what insurance wants.
I’m curious about health at every size® but i still want to lose weight, can we still work together?
Absolutely! I am anti-dieting, not anti-dieter. I don’t prescribe weight loss, but we live in a society infiltrated with diet-culture messaging, so it’s normal to want to look a certain way or to not be sure if you want to give up dieting. I’m here to support you through that, and maybe present some different perspectives that you don’t typically hear in society. My focus is on helping you feel your best, see that you can do anything no matter what your weight or body size is, and focus on the behaviors that support building a positive relationship between you and your unique body.
How do we do sessions?
All sessions are on a virtual video platform that is HIPPA compliant to ensure your confidentiality. That platform is called SimplePractice and is also what I use for my electronic medical records system.
what if I move or visit another state?
As of right now, you must be in one of the states I am licensed in for us to meet for sessions. Those states include Virginia, DC, Massachusetts, Idaho and Florida.
