I have never been to therapy before, what is it like?

~Therapy looks different to different people. If you bring in your 6 year old, there will be use of play therapy to help resolve issues. If a 12 year old needs help with anger management, there will be a combination of individual sessions with the child and family sessions with the child and parent. Adults typically attend alone or with their partner, when needed. Each session is 45 minutes.

How much does it cost? Do you take my insurance?

~The fee for an initial session is $115.00 and subsequent appointments are billed at $100.00. This is only if you decide not to utilize your insurance, have an insurance policy that requires you to meet an out of pocket deductible, or if I am not a provider in your insurance network.
