Guidelines for Appointments 

Things to consider

When beginning therapy, it's important to consider several factors to ensure you have a positive and effective experience:

  • Goals: Reflect on what you hope to achieve through therapy. Whether it's managing stress, improving relationships, or overcoming past trauma, having clear goals can guide your therapy journey.

  • Therapist Compatibility: Finding a therapist, you feel comfortable with, and trust is crucial. Consider factors like their approach, expertise, and personality to ensure a good fit.

  • Logistics: Think about practicalities such as scheduling, location (in-person or online), and affordability. Choose a therapy format that fits your lifestyle and needs.

  • Openness to Change: Therapy requires openness and willingness to explore difficult emotions and experiences. Being ready to confront challenges and make changes is essential for progress.

  • Commitment: Therapy is most effective when attended regularly and consistently. Consider your availability and readiness to commit to the process.

  • Support System: Recognize the importance of support outside of therapy. Having a supportive network of friends, family, or support groups can complement your therapeutic journey.

  • Expectations: Understand that therapy is a collaborative process that takes time. Set realistic expectations and be patient with yourself as you work toward your goals.

  • By considering these factors, you can approach therapy with clarity and readiness to make positive changes in your life.

Cancellations

If you need to reschedule or cancel your appointment, I kindly ask for at least 48 hours' notice. This allows me to offer the time slot to another client in need and helps maintain the continuity of care for everyone. I understand that unforeseen circumstances can arise, so please feel free to reach out as soon as possible if you need to make changes to your appointment. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in honoring this policy. No show appointments or cancellations made after 48 hours prior to session start time will be subject to the full rate fee. 


Payments

I use a secure HIPPA compliant system to collect all fees and copays. This program will generate invoices and super bills for you to utilize OON benefits through your insurance provider.  I also accept zelle and paypal forms of payment at time of service.
