Frequently Asked Questions
How does payment work?
My rate is $150 per session. A session lasts typically 45-60 minutes. I accept cash, check, credit/debit cards, and HSA/FSA cards.
Clients can pay for sessions through private pay options or utilizing their insurance provider. I accept Blue Cross Blue Shield insurance. It is ultimately the client’s responsibility to ensure full payment of services, whether directly to the therapist or utilizing their insurance carrier. Please note that I am not liable for checking and relaying each individual benefit prior to the counseling appointment. You can retrieve this benefit information by calling the customer service line for mental health/behavioral health on the back of your insurance card. A credit card is required to be on file for all clients to ensure prompt payment at the time of service.
I cannot guarantee insurance reimbursement at any time. You will be responsible for full payment of services.
What hours do you typically hold sessions?
I typically schedule sessions Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday. I have sessions as early as 7AM and as late as 5PM. Session availability is on a first come, first served basis.
Do you offer telehealth?
Yes, I offer telehealth through a secure video platform. I am able to offer telehealth services throughout the state of Alabama.
I am thinking about scheduling an appointment, how do I get started?
A person’s comfort level with beginning therapy can vary. I want to make sure you feel good about where we start in order to set us up for success. If you are ready to book an appointment, feel free to schedule a free 15 minute consultation or an appointment via my contact page. I will get back to you as soon as possible.
What is a free consultation?
I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation to those interested in using my services. While it is not required before scheduling an appointment, it can be a good way for us to learn more about one another and for me to hear more about what you hope for from the therapy process. It is a great time to hear more about the approaches I use in therapy, and to see if my availability meets yours.
What if I come to decide we are not a good fit for each other?
This happens! You are welcome to let me know this. If you’d like a list of recommendations of other therapists who might be a better fit, I am happy to supply you one.
