What Kind of Insurance do you take?

We do not currently accept insurance directly, but are happy to provide clients with a monthly invoice, superbill, that will have all the necessary information on it that can get submitted directly to your insurance company for reimbursement.

We are private pay providers and do not directly bill insurance for treatment. Some benefits of paying privately include more privacy and more control in our work together. However, we’ve found that many insurance companies will cover our services as out-of-network providers. If you have a PPO, we can provide a superbill that you could submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement. A superbill is a detailed record of payment with special codes for what kind of service was provided along with our license number. To learn more about submitting out of network claims to insurance, read more here. We recommend calling your insurance to find out what reimbursement will look like for an out-of-network provider, as reimbursement is not always guaranteed. If you’re hoping to find an in-network provider, Good Therapy or Psychology Today are helpful directories.

How long are your therapy sessions?

A typical session lasts between 50-60 minutes. The frequency of sessions vary depending on individual needs and goals. In general, the frequency of therapy sessions is determined collaboratively between the therapist and the client.

Consistency in therapy is a crucial factor that can significantly impact the overall outcome. Regular sessions provide a structured and continuous space for individuals to explore and process their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. It allows for a deeper understanding of patterns, facilitates skill-building, and promotes ongoing self-reflection.

Therapy is a process that unfolds over time, and consistent attendance helps build a strong therapeutic relationship between the client and therapist. This relationship is a key component of effective therapy, fostering trust and openness. The continuity of sessions allows for the gradual exploration of underlying issues, the development of coping strategies, and the implementation of positive changes in one's life.

Furthermore, consistent attendance helps individuals stay engaged in the therapeutic process and reinforces the application of new skills in real-life situations. It provides an opportunity for clients to track their progress, identify challenges, and receive ongoing support.

While weekly sessions are common, some individuals may benefit from more frequent sessions during times of crisis or significant life transitions. On the other hand, as progress is made, the frequency of sessions may decrease. Flexibility is essential, and therapists work collaboratively with clients to adjust the frequency of sessions based on evolving needs and goals.

Ultimately, the effectiveness of therapy is a dynamic interplay between the therapeutic approach, the client's commitment, and the consistency of the therapeutic process.

How Long does therapy last?

Because every client we work with has unique needs, presentation and goals, the length of therapy varies person to person.

how do i know if I have ADHD?

ADHD symptoms in adults often manifest differently than in children, making diagnosis challenging. Common signs include forgetfulness, impulsivity, difficulty concentrating, and problems with time management. Undiagnosed ADHD in adults can lead to a handful of negative side effects and symptoms such as low self-esteem, irritability, and anxiety. If these symptoms significantly impact an adult's personal or professional life, it's prudent to consider ADHD testing. It's important to note that ADHD testing can be pursued at any age, as the disorder might have been undiagnosed in childhood or simply overlooked.
