Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know you're the right therapist for me?

Finding the right practitioner for you can take some shopping around, but it helps when you do your research and find someone who shares similar values or who seems to meet your therapeutic needs. 

I tend to be a flexible therapist who flows with the material clients bring in each session, rather than working from a set structure. I offer 'homework' on a case-by-case basis, depending on the client's capacity and interest. If you would prefer a highly-directive practitioner, I may not be the therapist for you!

How long are typical therapy sessions?

Typical sessions last for 50 minutes. Extended sessions (80 minutes) are available at your therapist's discretion.

How do referrals work?

If a client presents with an issue that is outside of my scope of practice (i.e. substance use disorder, disordered eating), I will confer with the client to arrange referral to a more appropriate practitioner or form of treatment.

Do you accept insurance?

Currently, I do not offer direct billing. Clients will receive an invoice that can be submitted to their insurance provider for reimbursement.

How often should I attend therapy?

While frequency of sessions is up to the client's discretion, weekly or biweekly appointments allow for deeper therapeutic work to occur.

How do I know when therapy should end?

Termination can happen through the solo choice of the client or therapist, or a collaborative decision made within the therapeutic relationship. Clients may end therapy at any time for any reason, and are not required to explain their reasoning in detail. Discussions about termination of therapy are welcome and may provide an opportunity to experience healthy relationship endings. 

Therapists may suggest ending therapy or titrating sessions as a way to gradually reduce the client's need for therapeutic care. This will come up within the container of a session and your therapist will make space for any questions or concerns you may have about making this change. This is often a good sign that your therapist feels you have the skills in your toolbox to thrive independently.
