Message to clients

I'm so happy our paths have crossed! My treatment style is very dynamic and interactive. I don't just listen. I offer feedback and homework assignments when indicated. I am big on teaching you practical strategies and try to make sure that you leave, even our initial session, with information regarding a new coping skill.

I know what it's like to struggle with the curveballs that life throws at us. When appropriate, I will share parts of my own life with you in an effort to help you along your journey.

I want to create a safe environment for you to seek some support in. Sit back from the comfort of your own home and let the process begin. This is a no-judgement zone. I look forward to hearing from you!

Therapist's note

GOOD FAITH ESTIMATE NOTICE

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how

much your medical care will cost.

Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.

• You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.

• Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.

• If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.

• Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
