Therapy

How long are sessions and how many sessions might I need?

Each session lasts for about 50 minutes. As far as how long someone might stay in therapy, that is completely up to you. Some people come to therapy for a specific issue and some people use therapy as ongoing self care. You can continue as long as it is useful to you and end at any time.

Can I use insurance?

The short answer is Yes.

The long answer is you can use insurance, you will just need to submit to insurance yourself. You be will provided documentation of our session so you can be reimbursed.

Is what I say confidential?

You can trust that what you share in therapy will be kept confidential except…

If what you share tells me you are going to harm yourself, harm someone else, or someone is harming you and you are a minor or older adult.

If notes are subpoenaed.

If you are a minor and information needs to be shared with your parent for safety reasons.
