Therapy & Assessment Expectations

Therapy Appointments

New client appointments are typically 60-90 minutes with shorter 30-60 minute follow-up visits. During the first appointment, I will get to know you, answer questions you may have, and may ask you to fill out a couple short questionnaires. We will discuss your priorities and current symptoms in order to develop an initial treatment plan.

 

Psychological Assessment & Testing

Assessment appointments are typically 2 hours long consisting of 1 to 3 visits to allow optimal performance as well as time to discuss results and recommendations. Private school admission testing is usually completed in one visit. Testing is completed at a comfortable pace for you. 

​

Consultation 

Psychological consultations to providers, schools, and families typically involve reviewing history (e.g., previous assessments and interventions), current functioning, and tailoring recommendations specifically for you or your child. 

​

Telehealth Services

Therapy is provided via telehealth with periodic in-person appointments offered on a case by case basis. Psychological assessments are typically in-person with telehealth components as appropriate. If telehealth is not a good fit for you, we will recommend other options.

 

Fees

Fees are due before the start of therapy appointments. Insurance is not accepted, but receipts can be provided for you to submit for out-of-network benefits. Clients typically receive (50-80%) reimbursement depending on their specific insurance benefits. 

 

Times

Late afternoon, evening and weekend appointments times are available.
