FAQs

Here is a list of Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about my practice, working with me, and privacy. If there’s anything else you want to know about starting counseling with me, please reach out.

Do you accept insurance?

I do not accept any private insurance or Medicaid. I’m happy to provide you with a receipt that you can submit to your insurance company for reimbursement. Currently, I accept checks, cash, and all major credit cards, including FSA and HSA cards.

How much does therapy cost?

My rate for new clients is $300 per 50-minute session. If you’d prefer a longer appointment, I also offer an 80-minute session for $450.

Are you accepting new clients?

Yes! I’m happy to share that I am accepting new clients. I have availability for both in-person and telehealth appointments.

What appointment times do you have?

I am available between 8 am and 7 pm, Mondays through Thursday as well as Friday mornings. I do not have weekend appointments.

Do your offer an initial phone consultation?

Yes, I offer a free, 20-minute phone consultation. This is an opportunity for you to ask questions, share what you’re looking for in a therapist, and talk about what you want out of therapy.

Where is your office?

My office is located in Greenwood Village in the Denver Tech Center. The address is 8400 E. Prentice Ave. Suite 1500, Greenwood Village, CO 80111.

Are you a licensed therapist?

Yes. I am licensed in Colorado as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and am overseen by the Colorado Department of Regulatory Agencies. I have been licensed since 2006 and have over 20 years of experience in the field.

Can you prescribe medications?

No, I can’t prescribe medications. I can coordinate with your prescriber or provide you with referrals if you are seeking a medication evaluation.

How will you protect my privacy?

Your privacy and confidentiality are a top priority. I take careful steps to protect your personal and health information by using secure, encrypted, HIPAA-compliant systems for maintaining treatment records, processing payments, and conducting telehealth sessions.

I also take measures to ensure that our sessions remain private and confidential on my end. Information about your or your child’s treatment is only shared with others when you have provided your written authorization, except where disclosure is required or permitted by law.

Will therapy work for me?

There are no guarantees that you or your child will benefit from therapy. However, studies have found that people who engage in treatment and have a positive relationship with their therapist tend to experience improvements in their symptoms or problems.

What can I expect in my first session?

During your first appointment, we’ll spend time getting to know one another. I’ll ask about your health history, background, what brings you to therapy, and your goals for treatment. We’ll also discuss any emotional, behavioral, or mental health concerns you’re experiencing. Before or during your first visit, you’ll complete some intake paperwork and consent forms.

What should I bring to my first session?

Please bring a list of any current medications, any completed forms I sent you before your appointment, and your preferred payment method. If you have copies of previous mental health evaluations or relevant treatment records, you’re welcome to bring those as well, as they may help inform your care.

How often will I have therapy sessions?

During our first few sessions, we’ll explore your concerns, discuss your goals, and develop a treatment plan tailored to your needs. Together, we’ll determine a schedule that best supports your progress. While many people find that weekly sessions are helpful, others may benefit from meeting more or less frequently. Every person’s needs and circumstances are unique.

How long will I need therapy?

The length of therapy varies from person to person and depends on your unique needs, goals, and the concerns that bring you to treatment. Some people find that a few months of therapy is enough to address a specific issue, while others benefit from longer-term support. Throughout the process, we’ll regularly review your progress and adjust your treatment plan as needed, so you can feel confident that therapy continues to meet your goals.

Can I get a Good Faith Estimate?

Yes, under the federal “No Surprises” Act, you have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate which explains how much your medical care will cost.

Because I do not accept any insurance, I can provide you with an estimate of the bill for your or your child’s mental health care and services. You can receive this before your first appointment with me.

For questions or to learn more about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, please visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises.

Do you offer telehealth?

Yes! I offer sessions over video (telehealth) as well as in-person, depending on your preference. I use the HIPAA-secure platform doxy.me.

Do you provide supervision?

Yes, I offer clinical supervision for Licensed Professional Counselor Candidates in the state of Colorado. I also work with licensed clinicians looking for regular, professional supervision. I have over 19 years of experience providing clinical supervision for interns, therapists working toward full licensure, and licensed professionals. For more information about my supervision style and rates, please contact me by phone or email.
