Yes! I always start with a phone consultation before beginning therapy. These are free and typically last 15-25 minutes. This is a chance for both of us to feel each other out and decide if we are a good fit.
I am not paneled with any insurance. I do offer Superbills which can be submitted to your insurance for reimbursement. This is not something that all insurances will allow with therapy, and some have stipulations and/or specific requirements. So I heavily encourage contacting your insurance about Superbills before beginning therapy.
My work schedule and hours are subject to change, but currently my therapy/client hours are:
Monday: 2pm-8pm
Tuesday: 12pm-6pm
Wednesday: 2pm-6pm
Thursday: Case by case
Specific availability changes so feel free to reach out and inquire about current availability.
Yes. Confidentiality is not only a legal requirement but is also extremely important to me and something that I expect out of my own providers. There are times where I may seek out supervision/consultation to best support my ability to offer you the best services I can. These are only done with your permission and are discussed in our first session.
I maintain a 72 hour cancellation policy. Any adjustments made to the scheduled time slot after the 72 hour mark are subject to a cancellation billed at the price of the scheduled session.
Diagnosis is a tool used to best assist an individual's path to healing and growth. There are multiple reasons an individual may desire to have or not have a diagnosis. A diagnosis is something we get to discuss in therapy. Kansas law requires a diagnosis to be on file, but it's important to note that these diagnoses are not always the 'overwhelming, scary ones' we see on tv.
Checking people into a clinic or hospital, or making mandated reports are not an every session ordeal. My goal is to care for you as best as I can, and that includes keeping surprises to a minimum. What gets you reported is something I take very seriously and is discussed in the first session, but can also be addressed during our consultation. I do nothing behind my clients' backs.
Different therapies have different lengths. I have had therapy relationships healthily complete after 8 weeks, while some have lasted over 3 years. The longevity of therapy is dependent on a multitude of factors. This is something that can always be discussed before and during the process. My approach generally, but not always, leads to more long-term therapy.
Our sessions last for 45 minutes, with 90-minute sessions being available as well.
The option for longer, intensive sessions is also available upon request and discussion.
My recommendation when beginning therapy is to start weekly, at least for the first 4 sessions. I have found that this is a helpful way to establish the therapeutic relationship and set the groundwork for your therapy. Outside of that, I typically recommend weekly, many people prefer biweekly. Other frequencies are possible too, including multiple sessions per week, and sessions spread out more than biweekly. This is something the two of us would discuss and figure out early on.
