I’ve never been in therapy before. What can I expect?

Generally, folks come to therapy once a week and have a set time slot that stays mostly consistent each week. Sessions are 50 minutes long. The very first visit is what we call an “intake” session and may be longer. We will initially talk about what brings you to therapy and collaborate on some treatment goals. Prior to your intake session, I will ask you to complete some forms via a HIPAA-compliant online portal.

How long does it take to reach my treatment goals?

This depends widely on the nature of the issue that brings you to therapy. It also depends on myriad other factors such as your trauma history and support network, just to name a couple. You may find that as you progress in therapy, your goals may shift.

Do you offer virtual sessions?

Yes. In-person and virtual sessions are available.

Your About page said that you are a Licensed Graduate Professional Counselor. What does that mean?

I am a Licensed Graduate Professional Counselor, which is the initial licensure level obtained by mental health professionals in Maryland. While practicing with this initial license, counselors need to accrue a certain number of hours of meeting with an approved supervisor to discuss cases (confidentially) and get guidance on indicated treatment.

Are you in my insurance network?

Currently, I do not participate with any insurance networks. Instead, I use a platform called Thrizer to help clients access their out-of-network benefits. I am also happy to provide you with a monthly superbill that you can submit to your insurance company privately.

What are the fees?

Intake sessions are $140; individual sessions are $120.Fees are due at time of session.
