Frequently Asked Questions

Do you offer free a consultation?

I do. You are welcome to a free 15-min consultation with me so we can meet each other and determine if we are a good fit. You’ll be able to ask me any question that you may have, and I can learn about your situation to determine if my skill sets match your needs.

How can I request a new appointment?

You may contact me online or call me at (770) 598-4034.

How much does therapy cost?
$90 Individual, $180 Couples; I have a limited number of sliding scale slots for those who are committed to the work of therapy.
What type of insurance do you accept?
Each insurance company is structured differently. Your benefits may not be the same as a co-workers. I cannot guarantee that your benefits will cover the cost of therapy. You are strongly encouraged to contact your insurance company for an explanation of your benefits.

I am authorized with the following insurance companies;
Anthem
BCBS
Aetna
Cigna
Optum
United HealthCare

What can I expect to get out of therapy?
Sometimes therapy is for a specific event and requires a few sessions. Sometimes therapy goals are more long term or more ambiguous.

Psychotherapy provides a framework for creating courage and confidence. Persistence gets you to confidence. It takes courage to begin the process of uncovering what weighs you down. Persistence is necessary to identify the pieces of the puzzle that is life – your life. Confidence places those pieces on the table – metaphorically. Seeing those metaphoric puzzle pieces in a new way allows you to understand how you got where you are and helps you determine where you want to be. Well-being, contentment on the inside is the result on courage and confidence.
Life can be messy…you don’t have to be.

The goal of therapy is to not need to be in therapy. That being said, it takes more than a couple of hour sessions to work through most things. As with any endeavor, you get out of therapy what you put in.

Always discuss your goals, your intentions with the therapist.

What types of therapy do you offer?
While your background information is essential my approach tends to be more organic; asking family or personal history questions for clarification as the current topic required.

Homework isn’t a part of my methodology though I will offer recommendations that might offer additional insight.

My approach isn’t me casually listening, affirming and note taking; this is me deeply listening to what is said, what isn’t said; sometimes asking questions about what is between conscious and unconscious awareness.

How long does it take to feel better?
It varies from person to person.
Sometimes, making the appointment is the first moment of relief – because you may have been putting it off for some time. Some people experience a sense of relief after the first session – because when you’ve been holding something for a while and finally get to put it down there is relief. For some, it takes few sessions to feel the shift that therapy can provide.
How can I know if we are good match?

That’s a great question…it’s important to feel comfortable and safe with your therapist. The best way to know if we are a good match is a short conversation between you and the therapist to get a feel for each other. Usually, we can determine if we are a good match after a brief conversation. Please feel free to request a free 15-min consultation by contacting me online or calling (770) 598-4034.
