Frequently Asked Questions

---

Yes, I accept United Healthcare (Optum) and Aetna. It is the responsibility of the client or their guardian to know their benefits. Anything not covered by insurance is the financial responsibility of the client and family.

For all other plans, I am an out-of-network provider and can provide a superbill upon request.

I work with children and adolescents, ages 0-25 years old. I also work with adults seeking parent coaching/support.

Absolutely. I strongly collaborate with parents throughout the therapy process, beginning at intake. Depending on presenting issues and potential relational needs, ongoing sessions may involve individual sessions with child, parent sessions without child, family sessions, or some combination of these.

Weekly therapy sessions are initially recommended. Children often need higher frequency to stay on track with progress and processing. Once substantial changes have occurred and been maintained for a period of time, sessions often reduce to bi-weekly appointments until discharge is appropriate.

This will depend on many factors. Minor concerns, with high parental involvement and support, may benefit from 3-6 months of services. When there are multiple presenting issues and/or extenuating factors, services may take longer. My goal is always to support children and families reach their goals and to discharge from services.
