FAQs

I do not take health insurance. This means I do not bill directly to insurance providers and you are financially responsible for the cost of sessions at the time of service. However, depending on your out-of-network benefits, a portion of the cost may be covered by your insurance plan. Documentation for submitting a claim with your health insurance provider can be generated by my EHR at the end of every month (or more frequently if you request it). You must have a diagnosis that meets medical necessity as defined by your insurance company in order to submit an out-of-network claim.

A superbill is used to submit information to insurance providers for reimbursement. It includes appropriate codes related to service and diagnosis. Provider business information and tax identification are also included on the superbill. The superbill is separate from an invoice.

4 - Conduct a consultation call where I can learn more about what brings you to therapy and what you’re looking for out of your experience and a therapist. I will also be using our conversation to make sure that my experience and approach would be appropriate for the challenges/concerns you want to address in therapy. I will provide referrals upon request for providers or clinics that would be better suited.
5 - If we both decide it is appropriate to move forward, I will send you my intake paperwork and we can schedule the first session.

If it is necessary to cancel an appointment, my policy is that you must cancel 24 hours before your scheduled appointment time.

I do make exceptions based on emergencies, illness, and other situations at my discretion.

Sex therapy is a form of psychotherapy that focuses on helping people with sexual challenges in the context of a professional therapeutic relationship.
-
Sex therapy NEVER includes a romantic or sexual relationship between the therapist and client(s).
-
Absolutely. Because I’m a sex therapist, people often think they can only talk to me about sex. I welcome other topics for therapeutic work even if they don’t directly relate to sexual health. Besides, we might even find connections to sexual health even if our conversation doesn’t start there. For more information about my approach to sex therapy, look here.

Yes, and, it’s rarely going to * feel * like the homework you got in school (unless you want it to). Homework for me looks more like home-experimentation or home-reflection. I might give you homework to “chew on” something we’ve been talking about in your journal, or try out a new strategy and tell me the results.
