It depends on each individual and on different factors such as: current concerns, therapy goals, treatment plans, client’s stage of change/motivation. That being said, we want to make sure therapy sessions are utilized to ultimately reach your goals rather than prolonging them. My goal is to help you help yourself so that you don’t need to rely on therapy anymore.
Do you do face to face sessions?
Normally, most sessions are done virtually through a HIPAA compliant video via Theraplaform. You will receive your own client portal where you can access video platform, communication (chatting), invoices, and schedules.

Good Faith Estimate : What is it?
Under Section 2799B-6 of the Public Health Service Act, health care providers and health care facilities are required to inform individuals who are not enrolled in a plan or coverage or a Federal health care program, or not seeking to file a claim with their plan or coverage both orally and in writing of their ability, upon request or at the time of scheduling health care items and services, to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” of expected charges..
You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost.
Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have
insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical
items and services.
• You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total
expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes
related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and
hospital fees.
• Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate
in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item.
You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you
choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or
service.
• If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith
Estimate, you can dispute the bill.
• Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.

Unless a session is cancelled 24 hours in advance, cancellation and missed sessions will be subject to a full automatic charge of session fee.
