FAQS
HOW DO I SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT?
Call, text, or email, or fill out the contact form. Include your name, phone number, and a few times I can reach you for a free 15-minute consultation. Texting is often the fastest way to reach me.
HOW LONG DOES EACH THERAPY SESSION TAKE?
Sessions are about 50 minutes and begin on the hour.
WHAT'S THE FIRST APPOINTMENT LIKE?
We'll cover the paperwork basics, talk about what brought you in, and go over your history and goals so I can answer any questions you have about what counseling with me looks like.
WHEN CAN I SEE YOU?
I see clients Tuesdays and Thursdays. Contact me to find a time that works for you.
WHAT'S YOUR CANCELLATION POLICY?
Appointment changes or cancellations need to be made more than 24 hours in advance of your appointment.
Your appointment time is reserved especially for you, so any changes within 24 hours will be charged the full appointment fee.
DO YOU TAKE MY INSURANCE?
I accept Anthem BCBS of Georgia, United Healthcare, and Aetna through Headway. You can check your insurance benefits on the Headway website here.
I am an out-of-network provider with all other insurance companies, which means you may seek reimbursement from your insurance company according to your benefits. If you plan to file for out-of-network reimbursement, please let me know. We will discuss diagnosis code(s), and I can send you a superbill for your insurance company to evaluate your claim. It will come from Emerge Counseling, with my name listed as the therapist providing services.
ARE THERE BENEFITS OF NOT USING INSURANCE?
Yes! When you see a provider who accepts insurance for counseling, the insurance company is privy to your entire mental health file and diagnosis. Insurance companies also limit how many sessions you may get and what types of therapy you may receive.
If you choose to go through an out-of-network provider like me, you’re not beholden to the insurance company. That means that your therapist is able to develop a treatment plan that is best for you, see you for as long or as short as necessary, and are able to keep your records confidential.
HOW LONG WILL I NEED COUNSELING FOR?
That depends on your goals and progress, which we'll check in on regularly together.
HOW OFTEN WILL MY SESSIONS BE?
I typically begin with weekly sessions and re-evaluate on a regular basis based on your needs and current status. Some clients opt to continue weekly sessions long-term while others move to every other week, once a month, or as-needed check-ins.
