Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How will I know if you’re the right therapist for me?
Let’s try it out! It’s definitely not a one size fits all. Let’s try it and see if therapy is meeting your expectations and your needs. Most important be open and have open communication about any concerns you may have. Having an honest conversation with your therapist may result in a more conducive working relationship.
Q: What can I expect from each session?
Each session is tailored to the needs of the kiddo. As a caregiver you need to be available for the duration of the session. However, your involvement in the session depends on the need your loved one has for support. It is expected for you to be present to report on the progress and determine a home plan for the following week.
Q: How long are the appointments?
30-45 minutes, depending on the need of the individual. This will be determined in the initial evaluation.
Q: How often will we meet?
Typically 1-2 times a week, depending on the needs of the client. This will be determined in the initial evaluation.
Q: Do you accept insurance?
YES!! Currently in network with United Health Care and Blue Cross Blue Shield. I am open to starting the process with other insurance companies as I’m still a small growing business. If your insurance is not currently listed, give me a call and lets discuss options. I also have private pay options.
Q: What is the cancellation policy?
Currently I strongly encourage at least 24 hours notice if you need to chancel or reschedule. Let’s be respectful of each others time. Updates to this policy will be made as necessary.
Q: Do you make referrals for other providers?
If I feel a referral to another provider needs to be made I will let you know. However, I am not liable for any financial claims or charges that may result from the referral. It is the responsibility of the client to make necessary appointments, check with insurance for coverage, and pay any resulting charges.

Each session we will discuss a home plan.
