FAQs
frequency & duration
Engaging in this work is a powerful investment in yourself. Because we are working with developmental and complex trauma using the NARM® framework, commitment and consistency are vital for lasting change. Our therapeutic relationship and weekly one-hour sessions create a dedicated container that allows for internal growth and reorganization to genuinely emerge. While duration varies by individual intention and need, planning for approximately forty sessions across a year is a typical starting point. We will continuously track your intentions and progress together.
insurance & fees
As a specialized private-pay practice, I do not accept insurance or bill insurance companies directly.
This decision is made to ensure your therapy remains highly confidential and focused entirely on your specific goals, without the restrictions, requirements, or diagnostic labels mandated by insurance panels.
Fee: $225 per one-hour session
My fee reflects my advanced training as a NARM® Master Therapist and my consistent commitment to ongoing professional development which enhances the quality of our therapeutic work.
out-of-network benefits / superbills
If you have "out-of-network" benefits, you may be eligible for partial reimbursement for my services. Per request, I can provide you with a detailed statement, known as a superbill, which contains all the necessary diagnostic and service codes for you to submit directly to your insurance company.
cancellation policy
Your session time is reserved specifically for you. To honor the time we have scheduled, I require at least 24 hours' notice if you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment.
If you cancel with less than 24 hours' notice, or if you miss the appointment without notice, you will be responsible for the full session fee ($225). Insurance does not cover late cancellation or no-show fees. I appreciate your understanding and cooperation in respecting this policy, which allows me to maintain a consistent practice.
confidentiality
Confidentiality is the cornerstone of our therapeutic relationship. As a licensed psychotherapist, I am bound by strict ethical standards and state laws (including HIPAA) to protect your privacy. This means that everything you discuss in our sessions is kept strictly confidential and will not be shared with anyone without your explicit written consent.
Please note the legal limits of confidentiality: Like all healthcare providers, there are a few legal exceptions where I am required to break confidentiality. These exceptions include:
If I have reasonable suspicion of abuse or neglect of a child, elderly person, or disabled person.
If I believe you are an imminent danger to yourself or to another specific, identifiable person.
If I receive a court order or subpoena requiring the release of records.
We will review these policies thoroughly during our first session to ensure you fully understand how your privacy is protected.
