Frequently Asked Questions
Do you accept insurance?
I do not accept insurance as a result of limited coverage & reimbursement for family therapy. I am able to provide superbills, which you may be able to submit to your insurance company for potential partial reimbursement, depending on your policy. Some families may be able to receive up to 60-80% back for therapy after meeting their out-of-network deductible, though this is not guaranteed.
What is your rate?
I charge $200 for 50-minute family/individual sessions and $100 for 30-minute parent coaching sessions.
Your initial investment in family therapy will be high (not only in terms of your financial resources, but also your time and emotional energy). This is not something I take lightly. Working with a cash pay therapist who charges a premium rate means that your provider is able to see less clients, allowing greater focus & sharp attention to your family. This also means that your therapist is able to dedicate time to advanced training and self-work that may result in better outcomes.
How long can I expect my family to be in therapy with you?
Though it ranges vastly based on circumstances, I generally work with families weekly for about six months before we reach stabilization. The goal is that you go from weekly family therapy & parent coaching to seeing me on an "as needed" basis as things arise.
I love working with families but come from the mindset of "I want to work myself out of a job," because the goal is for your family to be thriving without me.
Do you just work with families of teens?
Nope, I work with families who have kids of all ages, even families with adult children. Most of my experience has been working with teens and adults. If you have a younger child that ends up needing individual support that is not within my wheelhouse, I will refer them to a provider in my network who has more experience and training.
Why not just treat the teen? Why the whole family?
I could work with your teen individually for the next ten years to cope with stress in the family. This would be a lucrative business strategy. I did not become a therapist to manage the downstream effects of problems. I became a therapist to resolve them. If your teen is struggling with an issue that is independent of the family or their relationship with you, individual therapy is indicated. But if the challenges facing your teen involve or impact the family as a whole, the most effective way to work through them is to have everyone’s involvement.
