Rates & Details

First things first. Will my services work for you logistically? When I’m in your shoes, I don’t want to find out more about what’s available until I know if I can afford it or drive there or make it work with my schedule.

Logistics

  • Yes! In fact, I only offer online therapy. Working online allows me to reach people all over the Atlanta metro area and throughout the state of Georgia. Check this page for more details.

  • Monday through Friday, 9 am - 5 pm.

  • No. I wish insurance companies were ethical partners that prioritized highest quality care with reasonable reimbursement rates but that has not been my experience.

    I can provide you with a superbill you can send to your insurance company for reimbursement.

    If you plan to do this, call them first to find out how much they’ll reimburse you and whether that will work with your budget.

  • $175 per 50-minute individual session
    $260 per 75-minute couples’ session

  • This is highly dependent on the individual, but it’s reasonable to anticipate 12-18 sessions for each area of focus.

    If you’re interested in options for making the process as speedy as possible, let me know when we meet and I can offer some options.

How to Get Started

  • Click here to schedule a free 20-minute consultation. This meeting will be a chance for you to tell me what’s bothering you. What in your life is leading you to search for a therapist.

    I’ll ask what you’ve been dealing with, tell you what I can offer, and make a recommendation.

    If I don’t think I’d be the best person to support you, I’ll aim to connect you with a skilled therapist who would.

  • One totally viable option is to just show up! It will be a helpful meeting no matter what.

    If I were you, though, I’d want to give it some thought ahead of time because I’m a marinator. I have more to say when I’ve had a little time to think about a question in advance.

    If that’s you, just spend a few quiet minutes thinking about any recent experiences that upset you. Especially if they were related to your therapy goals.

    Did you lose sleep over a conversation with a friend? Have an awful day at work? Was there a tipping point when you realized you wanted things to change?

    Again, it’s not at all obligatory, but it can help focus the conversation and give me information that will help guide my recommendations.

  • Between our consultation call and our first session, I’ll ask you to fill out a comprehensive diagnostic assessment. This will take some time on your part (about 45 minutes) but will speed up our process of getting to know one another and getting focused on your goals.

    Our first session will mostly be a review of your answers and a chance for you to tell me about the details of your life and the things that are bothering you.

  • When I’m listening to your goals, my mind will be rifling through options for treatment. There are three main categories I’ll have in mind: mood, habits, and relationships.

    Each one involves a different set of steps and each one offers helpful skills. Most problems involve some aspect of all three so it can be tricky to choose, but the good news is that all of them are likely to contribute to the outcome we’re looking for.
