Adolescent issues include school, emotional, and behavioral or family concerns. Young adult issues include career, transition, and relationships.
Fees
Standard fee for a 45 minute Telehealth Psychotherapy session. I offer free 15 minute phone consultations, and sliding scale fees may be discussed for individuals who do not have insurance or who are not able to pay the standard fee.
Insurance
Every insurance plan is different, so it is important to contact your insurance company and ask whether they cover mental health services and secure video sessions.
Appointments
I conduct confidential and secure online video therapy sessions through doxy.me, a free and confidential, HIPAA compliant video platform. Telehealth psychotherapy allows my clients to participate in therapy in the comfort and convenience of their own home.
