Frequently Asked Questions
What should I expect from the process?
You can expect a collaborative process with a therapist who values your insight and respects your decisions regarding your treatment. Each session is 55 minutes long. In the beginning to maintain momentum, most clients prefer to schedule once per week. I use integrated approaches that focus on wholistic healing and encourage self-connection and empowerment for my clients.
Do you take insurance?
I am out-of-network provider for all insurance plans except the North Carolina State Health Plan through Aetna. I encourage you to check with your insurance company ahead of time to find out what your coverage is for therapy services with an out-of-network provider. At the end of each month, upon request, I can provide a “super bill” with diagnostic codes (if applicable), dates of service and types of services provided. You can choose to submit this to your insurance company for possible reimbursement based on your out-of-network coverage. Please be aware that reimbursement varies greatly and that by engaging my services you are paying “out-of-pocket” and are not assured of any reimbursement from your individual insurance policy.
How long does counseling usually last?
The length of the therapeutic relationship varies depending on each individual’s needs and pace. It is not uncommon to experience progress within six months to one year. Throughout this collaborative process, we will continue to check in around your goals and assess the benefits and progress being made.
What are your credentials?
I have a bachelor’s degree in Psychology and a master’s degree in Clinical Counseling. As a LCMHC, I am qualified by the North Carolina Board of Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselors to provide professional counseling services based on my years of training and education.
