All sessions take place virtually. I typically use Zoom, but can also use Google Meet, FaceTime, and WhatsApp video if this is preferred. Over the COVID-19 pandemic, I learned that virtual therapy works equally as well as in-person sessions for older teens and adults.
The first session, where I onboard new clients into my practice and conduct an assessment, is 280.00. This session is 70 minutes long. This includes an extensive follow-up of our conversation, including recommendations, strategies, and goals, which I send by email after we meet.
Each subsequent session is 60 minutes long. The fee per session is 210.00. Extended sessions are available and the fee is adjusted accordingly.
Unfortunately, sliding scale appointments are not currently available.
There is a 48-hour cancellation policy which applies to all cancellations, even in the event of illness.
