Do I need therapy?
Everyone can benefit from therapy. We usually end up seeking a therapist because of dissatisfaction, thinking things could be better or approaching a crossroad in a critical life event. If you are wondering if therapy can help, you can contact me to discuss this further.
Where do I start?
You can submit a contact form on the Contact Page or call me at 704.255.5155. I will contact you soon after I hear from you to discuss your needs.
Psychotherapy offers you the benefit of speaking to an experienced professional who does not offer a cookbook methodology or a magic wand approach to remedying the situation.
What will my first session be like?
We will sit together in a confidential setting to discuss your individual situation and the circumstances that bring you to therapy. The first few sessions of therapy allow time to ask and answer questions and engage in conversation while uncovering details of the situation. This time gives us the opportunity to meet and to see how we fit together.
Do you accept insurance?
Yes, I do accept insurance. I am an in-network provider for Medicare, BCBS, and Tricare.
I accept all other insurance plans out of network. As a courtesy, I can check on your benefits so that you can be fully aware if you have any financial responsibility or copayment that will be due at the time of your appointment. Insurance claims will be filed by my office staff. Private payment fees and coinsurance payment is due at time of service.
If I am not able to make it to your office, can I do a therapy session with you?
I provide virtual teletherapy sessions over a confidential video platform if you are traveling, homebound, or prefer this method of service.
What is the cancellation policy?
There is a 24-hour notice required for cancellation necessary to avoid charge for the missed session. Insurance companies do not cover missed appointment fees. There is no charge for cancellations made prior to the 24 hour period before the scheduled appointment. Exceptions to this policy may be made for emergency situations.
