Individual Therapy
Sessions
are 50 to 80 minutes long.
As far as style, I'm active throughout the session in questioning
you and giving you feedback about personality style, defense, and
resistance. Together we'll try to make sense of why you're having
difficulties and outline what we can do about it. I'm committed to
working as efficiently and as rapidly as possible so that you spend
no more time in therapy than is necessary.
Forms for individual therapy: Will be provided through the telehealth platform.
Couples Therapy
We need to do
a thorough assessment of relationship strengths and weaknesses
so that the areas we target are not based on guesswork.
With this in mind, we will have 4 sessions devoted solely
to information gathering. Our first session (80 to 85 minutes) will
be spent exploring each of your hopes and fears about therapy; the history
of your relationship; and some areas of current difficulty. After this first
session, you will each complete a detailed on-line questionnaire and have an individual session (50 to 55 minutes) during which we will discuss
your individual history as well as any other topics you
consider relevant. Once I've reviewed the results from your completed questionnaires,
we'll schedule a second couples meeting to go over the treatment
plan and jointly decide which issues to give our immediate
attention.
Forms for couples therapy: Will be provided through the telehealth platform.
Payment and Insurance
Payment is made at the end of each session at the rate of $300 for 50 minutes, $450 for 80 minutes. If you wish to be reimbursed by an insurer, I will provide
a statement for you to submit at the end of each month so that all
reimbursement is paid directly to you, however, I cannot guarantee
reimbursement as this matter is entirely in the hands of the insurer.
