Do you take insurance?
I do provide superbills, but have chosen not to participate in insurance paneling. Please ask your insurance company if you have “out of network mental health benefits.”
Do you include parents in the child or teen’s therapy?
Some possible options for parents are:
Participate in therapy each week and attend parent meetings every 3-4 weeks
Not be in the room during your child or teen’s therapy, but attend parent meetings once per month
Increased privacy, often for an adolescent who does not require parent involvement
How long does therapy take?
The length of time does vary according to the issues involved. In many cases you can plan for 6 months to 1 year.
How will I be involved as the parent? My child is under 13.
If your child is between the ages 4-12 years, you will be very involved.
How will I be involved as the parent? My child is 13 or over.
If your child is between 13 -18 years, parent involvement may vary, depending on the teen’s needs. Some teens would like total privacy, while others may wish for the parents to be involved, and in other cases the therapist may request parent involvement.
