When you are ready to begin the process of psychotherapy, contact me to discuss your reasons for therapy and any questions you have. Below are some questions that I will ask during our initial conversation:

• What days and times are you available to meet?  (I ask that you commit to meeting at least once a week)

• Do you plan to use health insurance to assist with the cost of psychotherapy?  If so, I encourage you to look into your in-network and out-of-network benefits for behavioral health in an office setting.  I am an in-network provider with Blue Cross & Blue Shield PPO, BCBS Blue Choice PPO, and United Healthcare PPO.  For all other insurance plans, I am an out-of-network provider.  If you provide me with your insurance information, I will also look into your benefits and answer any questions.

• What are your previous experiences with psychotherapy?
