Informed consent is an important part of therapy, and that starts with the process of scheduling an appointment. Here's some information to help orient you to the process of becoming a new patient.

 

Step 1 | Reaching Out

Contact me via email or Psychology Today. I currently have limited availability and I will respond if I have an opening (I do not have any weekend appointments available). I am only taking new patients for in person appointments. 

 

​

Step 2 | Cost of Appointments

I accept CDPHP, Aetna, and MVP insurance plans. If you don't have one of those plans, the cost per session is $175 and I can provide you with a superbill (basically a receipt) that you can then submit to your insurance company for out-of-netw0rk benefits.

 

If you have a CDPHP, Aetna, or MVP plan, I'll contact your insurance company to check your benefits. I do this so there are as few surprises as possible when it comes to billing and utilizing insurance. If any information appears inaccurate or doesn’t sound 100% correct, I encourage you to call your insurance company to check your benefits.

 

​

Step 3 | Scheduling, Paperwork, and Payment

We can discuss potential appointment times via email. I allow for one reschedule of the first appointment, if necessary, but because my schedule is limited I will offer referrals to other providers if additional rescheduling is required. 

 

My paperwork will be sent via SimplePractice, my HIPAA-compliant electronic health record. All paperwork must be filled out at least 24-hours before the first appointment. I also require a form of payment on file and will bill you for our appointment after the first session.

Step 4 | Our First Appointment

I'll send you directions to my office via email before our first appointment. I look forward to meeting you!
