Services & Payment

Therapy with me typically involves three types of sessions:

  • Initial Consultation (30 minutes)

  • It’s important to feel comfortable with your therapist. For this reason, I offer a free 30 minute initial consultation to help you decide whether I am the right fit for you. Call or e-mail me to schedule a free consultation.

  • Assessment and Planning (90 minutes)

  • If you decide to work with me, we’ll schedule a 90 minute Assessment and Planning meeting, at my office. That meeting is focused on learning more about you and what brought you to therapy. We’ll also begin putting together a plan for therapy.

  • Therapy Sessions (60 minutes)

  • Following the assessment meeting, we’ll decide when and how often to meet. Therapy sessions are 60 minutes long and are guided by the plan we developed together. Typically I meet with people once a week or every 2 weeks.

Payment Options

There are three options for payment:

  • In-Network Insurance

  • I am in-network for Johns Hopkins Health Care plans (EHP and USFHP) and Medicare. This means that if you are enrolled in any of these plans, your out-of-pocket expense is limited to your deductible and copay/coinsurance. I can assist in determining what these costs will be.

  • Out-of-Network Insurance

    If you have another insurance provider, you may have out-of-network benefits. Often these benefits cover the majority of the cost of therapy. I recommend calling your insurance provider to learn more about your out-of-network benefits. I can also refer you for additional assistance determining your out-of-network benefits.

  • Private Pay

    If you don't have coverage, or choose not to use your insurance, then you can pay the full fees directly to me.
