Sessions last about 50 minutes. Longer sessions can be offered if needed. Most clients attend weekly or bi-weekly. When the problem becomes less troublesome, we go into “maintenance mode” which can mean we meet once a month or just as needed. The length of treatment varies from person to person but outcomes are more apparent when the client takes an active and engaged role in therapy.
Do you offer teletherapy sessions?
Yes. I do offer online sessions for individuals who are Texas residents. However, my work is best done face-to-face when working with couples or multiple individuals. I do require that new teletherapy clients complete and return intake paperwork 48 hours in advance or we may have to consider rescheduling your appointment. When scheduling online, please email me if you are needing a virtual session.
What is the cost of therapy? Do you take insurance?
Regular 50 minute sessions cost $150. Longer sessions can be requested. The price is the same for individuals, couples, and families.
I am not on any insurance panels, but some insurance companies are willing to pay out-of-network. I do encourage you to contact your insurance company to learn about your benefits before setting up an appointment.
I do accept FSA/HSA payments.
Do you see kids?
No, but I can provide you with referrals. Another option is to search on Psychology Today or Good Therapyfor kid/teen therapists.
Where are you located and what are your hours?
My address is 1509B S. University, Fort Worth, 76107 in suite 212. My office is located on the 2nd floor of the historical Ol’ South Pancake House Restaurant. The entrance is at the north end of the building.
My hours are typically 12 to 7pm except Thursdays my hours are 12 to 5pm. My calendar is available online for your convenience.
How do I schedule my first session?
You can schedule by visiting my online calendar on the Contact Page of the website. Select your preferred day and time. You will be prompted to enter in your name, phone number, and email address. A credit card is required to reserve your appointment but you will not be charged until the time of your scheduled appointment. You are also welcome to call or email me if you have any questions before scheduling your initial therapy session.
How do I prepare for my first counseling session? And what should I expect?
Intake paperwork will need to be provided. You can find a copy of the intake form under FORMS. Print and fill out the appropriate intake. Or, you can arrive 10 minutes early to session, and receive a copy to fill out before session begins. If you are attending as a couple, each partner will need to fill out his or her own intake.
When session begins, we will go over the paperwork and answer any questions you may have about our policies, confidentiality, and procedures. Together we will discuss the focus of therapy, goals, expectations, and scheduling of therapy.
For couples therapy or marriage counseling, individual sessions can be offered after the initial session. This will be discussed at the end of your first session.
