Therapy & Coaching

Therapy typically focuses on mental health and emotional healing and is most useful when you want to shore up your emotional health and coping skills. We will talk through your struggles, remember your strengths, and find strategies to cope with transitions, loss, depression, anxiety, stress, burnout, or any other concerns you bring. Whether you are a family caregiver, a physician or other helping professional, or have been challenged by serious illness or loss, therapy can support you as you process emotions and learn new ways of coping with stress and feeling “stuck.”

Coaching is useful for helping you to focus on specific goals, such as changing unhelpful habits, deciding about your next steps in life, and generally getting “unstuck” from old patterns that keep you from achieving your goals. If you want to explore an important life change or difficult decision or want better strategies to function as a physician, family caregiver, or other helping professional, coaching can work for you.

Occasionally, as part of individual therapy we may decide together that it would be helpful to have another member of your family attend one or more sessions with you. These meetings are opportunities to improve communication and get expert help with having serious conversations.

These sessions may also be used if you need assistance sharing information with your partner or another member of your family. This can be especially helpful if you are making decisions about how to manage a serious medical diagnosis, caregiving responsibilities, or big life change. I am also available to assist with family meetings for the purposes of information-sharing, decision-making, or care planning.

I will periodically offer the opportunity for clients to participate in group therapy. Benefits of this type of therapy include: decreased isolation, empathy-building, skill-building, and increased ability to notice one’s patterns in interacting with others.

If your company or group is coping with a significant instance of grief and loss (such as following the death of a colleague or patient), burnout, moral distress, or moral injury, contact me to schedule a group session to assist with processing experiences and emotions and making a plan for the future.

Corporate hourly rates available on request.

I do not participate with any insurance panels and am considered an out-of-network provider. Although I am sensitive to the cost issues this creates for some, leaving insurance out of the equation increases your privacy and our flexibility for the terms of your therapy. Without insurance involvement, there typically is no need to disclose a diagnosis or even the fact that you are receiving therapy.

I am credentialed with the Spring Health Employee Assistance Program (EAP). If your company participates in Spring Health, the cost of some therapy sessions might be partially or fully covered. Please check with your employer about this option.

If your plan covers out-of-network outpatient mental health services, individuals may be able to get a portion of session costs covered. I am happy to provide you a detailed bill to submit to your insurance company so that you can request reimbursement if you so choose. Please discuss this with your insurance company in advance as you are responsible for payment even if the insurance company does not reimburse you.

Regardless of whether you aim for insurance reimbursement, you may opt to use your Health Savings Accounts (HSA) or Flex Spending Account (FSA) to pay for therapy if those funds are available.

Under a federal law enacted on January 1, 2022, clients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services, including psychotherapy and related costs.

You have the right to request a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.
