Question 1

Do you accept insurance?

Accepted Answer

Yes - I currently take: Aetna, Cigna, United/Optum and Medicaid (CO Access, only).  I also accept cash, checks, credit cards and HSA payments.  Please contact me directly for pricing information.

Question 2

How does therapy work?

Accepted Answer

My clients typically come to see me every week or every other week.  Your appointment typically lasts 45 minutes.  This is a time slot that is reserved just for you on my calendar.  Towards the beginning of your work, sessions will be used to identify your concerns and goals, and to establish a sense of comfort and trust in the relationship.  Follow up appointments are used to address your identified concerns, as well as topics that may come up in your life as we work together.  I currently offer both in-person and remote/telehealth services.

Question 3

How long will I need to receive services?

Accepted Answer

That is a difficult question to answer because there are several factors that play a role in the process, such as your presenting concerns and circumstances.  However, treatment goals will be discussed towards the beginning of the therapeutic relationship and treatment is considered to be complete when the goals are achieved.

Question 4

I don’t want everyone knowing about my problems.  How can I feel safe coming to talk to you about personal things?

Accepted Answer

As a licensed psychologist, I follow strict confidentiality standards.  I do not release any information pertaining to your visits with me without your written consent, except in rare situations where safety concern is involved, such as:
​
 • If you are at imminent risk of harming yourself or others
 • If you disclose of a situation that involves an abuse of children, the  elderly, or disabled individuals
 
In addition, when ordered by the court, your records may be disclosed as evidence.  Again, these are rare situations, and when appropriate, I will make an effort to talk with you before disclosing confidential information.

Question 5

What is your cancellation policy?

Accepted Answer

Life happens. I am happy to accommodate any changes that you need to make to scheduled appointments, so long as you contact me more than 24-hours prior to your scheduled appointment. Since the appointment time is reserved for you, in general, I will charge a $100 no-show fee (not covered by your insurance plan) for appointments that are canceled with less than a 24-hour notice, or if you do not show to a scheduled appointment. Of course, there are exceptions - unforeseen challenges with transportation, sudden illnesses, etc. When such situations arise, please reach out and we will make necessary changes.
