Frequently Asked Questions
Our First Session
Your First session will be a 50 minutes. We will begin wherever you wish. You do not need to tell your trauma story or mental health history in the first session, that can come up naturally as you feel comfortable. You will fill out paperwork before our session that I will send to you. 24/hr cancellation.
Telehealth Vs In Person Therapy
Currently due to Covid-19 I am only offering Telehealth services with a HIPPA compliant service called Simple Practice. However, I also have an in person Denver office back up. If you are looking for in person therapy let me know and I will put you on my wait list for when I open. Here we will video chat for our sessions. Telehealth allows therapist all over the world to be able to help people from the comfort of your home. You do not need to be in CO for me to have a session with you if we are doing coaching.
Insurance
I spend all of my time on the therapeutic relationship and not paperwork which insurance has a lot of. For this reason I only take Unitedhealth insurance. However I do provide a sliding scale & super bill once a month where your insurance will decide how much you are entitled to get back.
I’m Ready for Therapy?
It is a big decision to decide to trust someone with your story and sometimes it takes time to send that email or make that phone call. I understand and respect that. Only you know if you’re ready, however, if you’re in distress it’s best not to wait. Therapy is taken at your pace, we will go at your speed.
Do You Offer Consultations for Therapist?
Yes I do! If You look under the section “For Therapists” you can read all about what I offer and what type of individuals I give consultations for. Please email or call me with the header of the email consultations.
