How long are therapy sessions usually?

The length of the session typically depends on the type of therapy. Individual and teen sessions usually last around 50 minutes, while couples therapy sessions are typically 50 minutes as well.

What is the usual process or structure of a therapy session?

In my sessions, I strive to create a safe and supportive environment where clients feel comfortable exploring their thoughts, feelings, and concerns. In the first session, we collaboratively establish personalized goals that address individual mental health issues or relationship challenges in couples. Throughout our work together, I draw on evidence-based approaches, such as Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Narrative Therapy, and Psychodynamic techniques, to help clients achieve their goals and enhance their overall well-being.

How much do therapy sessions typically cost?

Generally, the session prices are as follows:

• Adult/Teen Sessions - $160 for an hour

• Couples Sessions - $185 for 50 minutes

• Phone Consultation - Free for initial 15 minutes

• Sliding scale is offered on a limited basis (contact for availability)

Methods of payment accepted - Cash, check, credit cards, flex spending accounts (FSA), health savings accounts (HSA)

If I am 'out-of-network' with your insurance, I can provide a receipt for you to submit to your insurer for reimbursement.

What types of insurance do you accept for payment?

Here is a list of insurance providers I work with:

• Aetna

• Regence Blue Cross and Blue Shield

• First Choice Health

• Pacific Source

What qualifications do you have to offer therapy?
