FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
The following page lists some of the most frequently asked questions that I receive. As always, feel free to call me if you cannot find an answer to your question below.
How many sessions will I/we need?
The number of sessions varies, but we would make a commitment to have weekly meetings. Each session lasts between 45 and 60 minutes.
How much does it cost?
Each session is a $100. Fee is due at the time of service. I am an in-network provider for Aetna, Optum, Cigna, Empire BCBS and Carelon. Everyone’s benefit plan is different, so I encourage you to contact your insurance to inquire about your mental health benefits. If I am not a provider for your insurance carrier and you have “out-of-network benefits.” I am happy to provide you with a statement to submit to your insurance for reimbursement. I accept debit/credit transactions (Visa, MasterCard, Discover).
What if I/we need to cancel an appointment?
If you need to cancel an appointment, please give me 24 hours notice, so that we may reschedule and I can shift my schedule as needed. A cancellation that is less than 24 hours before a scheduled session will be charged $25.
What if I have more questions before my first appointment?
Please call me with any questions or concerns you have. I will be happy to spend some time with you addressing them.
What is a Marriage and Family Therapist (MFT)?
MFTs specialize in treating people in the context of relationships. Problems are not seen as within any particular individual, but rather, in the way that people relate to one another.
