Frequently Asked Questions

  • Reach out via the contact button or feel free to call / text / email the number or address at the bottom of the page.

  • Please reach out to schedule an initial consultation. I recommend booking a consistent weekly time, ideally scheduled a month in advance, as regular appointments help support the continuity and depth of the work. If your schedule doesn’t allow for a standing time, we can schedule week-to-week at the end of each session. Clients are responsible for scheduling their next appointment, and I will always do my best to accommodate scheduling needs when possible.

  • My hourly rate is $165 for a 50 minute individual counseling session, both in person and virtually. My group rate is $85 per group session.

  • I do not accept insurance or participate in insurance panels. However, many insurance plans offer out-of-network benefits for mental health services. If your plan includes out-of-network coverage, I can provide monthly statements (often called a “superbill”) that you may submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement.

    If you are unsure whether your plan includes these benefits, I recommend contacting your insurance provider directly. Helpful questions to ask include: What are my out-of-network mental health benefits? What is my deductible or out-of-pocket maximum? Do you reimburse for CPT code 90834?

    Clients are also welcome to use Health Savings Accounts (HSA) or Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) to pay for therapy services.

  • I ask that clients provide at least 48 hours’ notice if they need to cancel or reschedule an appointment. Cancellations made with less than 48 hours’ notice will be charged the full session fee. I understand that unexpected situations can arise, and exceptions may be made at my discretion.

  • The length of therapy looks different for everyone. Some people come to therapy for a shorter period of time to work through a specific challenge, while others choose to stay longer as they deepen their self-understanding and continue working on patterns in their relationships and lives. Meaningful change often unfolds over time, so I generally recommend beginning with weekly sessions and reassessing together as the work evolves. Many people who work with me are interested in meaningful, long-term growth. It’s common for clients to stay in therapy for a year or more, sometimes combining individual therapy with group work to deepen the process.

  • If you’re considering therapy, you’re likely already a good candidate. I work with individuals from all backgrounds, identities, and belief systems, and I strive to create a space where people feel respected and welcome as they are.

    Many of the people who find their way to my practice are thoughtful, high-achieving individuals who are used to managing a lot on their own. They may be navigating relationship difficulties, stress, anxiety, depression, or patterns around substances, work, performance, or other forms of coping.

    Often what brings people to therapy is a quiet sense that they want something more for themselves and their lives, but aren’t sure where to begin. If that sounds like you, you are in the right place.

  • IIn January of 2022, Tennessee legislators enacted the No Surpises Act and Good Faith Estimate to protect people receiving medical services outside of insurance from receiving surprise bills for their care.

    Mental health services are considered a medical service under this act. Therefore, you have the right to receive an estimate for the expected cost of psychotherapy services provided to you. This Good Faith Estimate is provided when you first begin therapy and are completing intake paperwork in your client portal. Given the individualized nature of therapy, it is not possible to know in advance how many sessions are needed or approprirate for any given person. Your total cost of services will depend on your individual circumstances, your therapy goals, the number of sessions you attend, and the type and amount of services provided to you. It is important to know the Good Faith estimate is not a contract and does not obligate you to obtain services from me.
