Frequently Asked Questions

I provide in person care at 1320 Simms Street, Suite 200, Lakewood, CO 80401. Just on the border between Golden and Lakewood. The building is set back from the road and has a State Farm sign out front. I share space on the second floor in this unique setting with a practioner of acupuncture.

And I offer virtual sessions for illness, weather or when you live in another part of the state.

Once we have decided to work together and you have completed the online paperwork in the client portal you will receive an email with an invitation to the session. You will recieve a new one for each session you have scheduled. It will be your responsibility to do the session on your phone or computer in a place you feel comfortable to talk freely.

I do. The majority of my work is in person in the Lakewood office.

Fees depend on a client’s chosen services. The typical 50 minute session done in traditional fashion has a base rate of $165/hour. There is, on occasion, room in my caseload for reduced rate sessions. Those are negotiated prior to intake and depends on availability and client need. For clients who choose to do the intensive model fee is determined by the quantity of hours chosen and discussed at the time the intensive is scheduled. Call for more details.

I will welcome you in, orient you to the building, restrooms & how we will use our time. I will also answer any questions you have before we jump in. When we begin the first session, we will start with an interview that allows me to collect a history and survey what is going on in your life curretly and what strengths you have as well as areas that may be holding you back. For some clients this may take one session, for others it may take 2-3 sessions. We will also set some goals in this time, this is not a restrictive process, but more of a guide to the roadmap of where we hope to go in therapy.

Therapy is such a unique experience and is different in its length and intensity. It varies with the complexity of the issue, how long it has been troubling and how much work any individual can do in context with their lives. For simpler issues that don’t have a history to them 6-12 months is common. For trauma, health issues and chronic pain treatment could be longer or ongoing. The term will be discussed with you and goals are reviewed every 6 months.

Those doing intensives treatment is much more time limited and will be discussed when treatment is initiated.

Per the Federal “No Surprises Act” all clients will recieve a “Good Fatih Estimate” at the beginning of treatment that will estimate the cost of services for a year term and a new one will be provided if the client participates in treatment longer than a year.

Currently I am transitioning out of using insurance. That means cliens that are on insurance that I currently see will continue, but new clients will only be accpeted on a fee for service basis at my regular hourly rate.

I can offer a superbill that clients can submit to their insurance on their own.

HSA cards are accepted.

Intensives are not covered by insurance and fees must be paid prior to the time of service.
