Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How long does therapy last?
A: Each case is unique; therefore, treatment is tailored to the client's presenting issue(s). After assessments, the clinician can estimate how long the treatment will last.
Q: Is what I say really confidential?
A: Confidentiality is one of the cornerstones of the therapeutic relationship. Clinicians are obligated by law to break confidentiality only under a few specific circumstances, such as suspected abuse or neglect of a child or vulnerable adult. After reviewing the privacy policy, if you are still unclear if something must be reported, do not hesitate to ask the clinician.
Q: What can I expect in therapy?
A: In the first session, if using insurance, the clinician will conduct an assessment to determine treatment needs. Afterward, they will recommend the specific type of therapy (i.e., DBT, CBT, EMDR, etc.) for your presenting concerns and explain what the sessions look like.
Q: How much are sessions?
A: Out-of-pocket costs are mostly dependent on each insurance plan. Session rates are determined by the length of sessions, and the charge is higher for complex and longer sessions. We offer a sliding fee scale for those who pay out-of-pocket (based on income and number of people in the household), are uninsured, or do not have adequate insurance coverage for needed treatment. We also offer monthly payment plans.
