Policies

Sessions: My practice is currently telehealth only and uses a secure, HIPAA-compliant, and user-friendly platform. Clients can join sessions from a computer or smartphone, providing flexibility. Sessions are approximately 50 minutes long, with frequency determined by your individual needs and goals.

 

Payment: Payment is due at time of service via credit card (Visa, Mastercard, or American Express). Clients using health insurance are responsible for the copay at the end of each session; I will bill your insurance for the remainder. 

 

Insurance: Please speak with me directly to see if I accept your health insurance. If I do not, your carrier may still accept out-of-network providers (reimbursing you for part of the cost). I provide monthly invoices for those submitting for out-of-network reimbursement.


Cancellation Policy: 24-hour notice (one full business day) is required to cancel a session. Monday appointments must be canceled by Friday. This allows me to time to schedule another client waiting for a session. If you cancel less than 24 hours in advance, you are responsible for a $75 cancellation fee. If you cancel with notice, I will make every attempt to reschedule you the same week.
