Getting Started

 I will send you an invitation via email to a HIPAA compliant, secure client portal. You will be sent initial paperwork through the client portal. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions regarding the paperwork. It will take approximately one hour to complete.  After I receive the paperwork, I will review it and contact you if there is remaining paperwork that needs to be completed. Please complete all paperwork no later than 24 hours prior to the session. I will need all consent forms completed in order to initiate treatment with you.

Appointment reminders are typically sent through email and/or text for all sessions. You will also receive a link through email and/or text for any telehealth sessions. If you have scheduled a virtual session and  have misplaced the link or did not receive one, please contact me and I can resend it.

If you are not able to participate in your session at the start time due to an unexpected situation, please contact me. If you are later than 15 minutes, the session will need to be rescheduled. I cannot guarantee that you will receive the full amount of time scheduled for the session if you are running late, but I will do my best to accommodate you if possible. Please note that we charge the full session fee for no-show appointments and appointments not cancelled within 24 hours. 

Sessions are 50 minutes in length and take place weekly or bi-weekly depending on your needs. The first session will be a diagnostic assessment which will last 60 minutes. After the first session, you will receive a Good Faith Estimate through the client portal which will outline treatment costs.

Informal and formal assessment will continue throughout the process, so we can make sure you are on track toward meeting your goals. We will collaborate on a treatment plan and I will send a copy through the client portal. Every few months or as needed, we will review your treatment goals and progress.
