FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

24-HOUR CANCELLATION POLICY

A 24-hour cancellation policy is upheld. If the therapist is not notified about a cancellation 24 hours before the scheduled session, the full fee charge will be applied. 

PAYMENT

Cash, check, Zelle, and all major credit cards accepted for payment as well as HSA/FSA cards.

MINORS

Minors in therapy are required in my practice to have a parent or legal guardian’s signature of consent. Should the parents of the minor(s) be divorced or separated with shared legal custody, consent from both parents is required.

*Please note, letters will not be written for custody or divorce cases.

CONFIDENTIALITY

For licensed mental health professionals, confidentiality is protected by state laws and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). This means that what clients discuss in therapy is kept between the client and therapist. Confidentiality is legally required to be waived in the cases in which the client poses an imminent risk to themselves or others, or when there is suspected child, elder, or dependent adult abuse. A court order by a judge can also require a breach in confidentiality. The client may choose to sign a release of information (ROI) should they like information to be exchanged between the therapist and outside providers, family members, practitioners/medical providers and schools.

HOW TO REACH ME

The best way to communicate with me is via email with questions, comments, or therapy-related content, but I also use texting and calling as well. I primarily reserve texting for appointment scheduling/rescheduling. Please note, if you have an urgent psychiatric concern, crisis, or emergency, please utilize 911 or your local emergency department. You can also contact the suicide hotline at by calling 988, or text the crisis text line by texting the word HOME to 741741.
