All new patients begin treatment with an appointment for an initial consultation. This appointment is 60 mins long - the goal is to obtain enough information regarding your presenting problem to properly provide a diagnosis and allow me to discuss treatment recommendations based on your unique clinical presentation.
After intake, typical sessions are 45-60 mins in length, though depending on the nature and severity of clinical presentation, longer sessions may be recommended.
Home Visits: Often times, depending on both clinical necessity and availability in my schedule, therapeutic sessions are conducted in the patient's home to address symptoms that are significantly associated with the home environment (often the case for OCD, Agoraphobia, as well as others). In these situations, in and around the home is often the best place to conduct therapy.
While a majority of sessions may be conducted in the office setting, depending on clinical presentation, sessions may be conducted outside of the office in public, to learn hands on how to approach difficult/feared situations as well as to establish and practice more effective coping skills.
Home Visits may incur additional fees depending on the geographic location of the home relative to the office.
Insurance
I am an in-network provider for Medicare.
For all other insurances, I am an out-of network provider. I will be happy to provide you with any and all information you may need in order for you to obtain reimbursement from your insurance company (receipt of payment, diagnosis codes, service codes, etc.).
I do recommend you contact your insurance company prior to beginning treatment to ensure you are aware of your "out of network benefits", including reimbursement rate and any limitation on service codes they may have, as these details can vary widely between companies.
***For additional information regarding service options and/or fees, please contact the office.
