Interested but not ready to schedule an initial session?

Contact me to schedule a free 15 minute phone consultation. This is a great way for you to ask questions, get a sense if I’m a good fit for you as a therapist, and to just hear my voice. It’s important that you feel comfortable with me and that my approach is a good fit for you!  

What about payment?

My current rate is $120 per session. While I don’t accept insurance at this time, I can provide documentation to submit to insurance. Many companies will cover a portion of out of network providers. If your insurance will not cover any portion and $120 is difficult for you, we can talk about sliding scale options as well. 

What’s an initial session like?

An initial session is a lot of information gathering on my part. I want to know about what brings you to therapy at this time, your history, and just who you are as a person. I want to know what you’re struggles are but also what helps you cope and brings you joy. We’ll also work together to establish your goals for therapy and particular approaches you’re interested in, such as EMDR or Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction. There isn’t a right answer for how many sessions it takes to gather information and shift into more approach centered work, but in my experience it’s typically around 2-3 sessions. 

In Person vs Telehealth?

I offer both in person session and telehealth. My office is located in Bloomington, IN and I’m able to work with any Indiana resident via telehealth. You can also switch between the two if you’re traveling, have an unconventional schedule, or just don’t feel like leaving your house that day!

Telehealth sessions are incredibly easy- at the time of your session you’ll receive a link via email that gives you a access to a HIPAA compliant video platform.
