My Call-Back Policy, and taking on new patients.
Note that I do not have crisis or emergency service.
If you're experiencing a mental health crisis, please call 988, or your nearest hospital.
What to expect when you leave me a message via phone or contact-form
New Patients
I have very limited availability of openings to take on new patients.
I return all calls (and emails) and try to spend 20 minutes with each caller trying to help them figure out next steps.
During or after the 20-minute call, I try to provide referrals to callers if I am unable to take them on.
I can sometimes take on new clients for limited consultations of 3 meetings, after which I refer them as needed or see if I can accommodate them in September or February.
I am able take on new patients only in September or February of each year if I have an opening.
Thank you for your patience.
What Will Happen If You Request a Phone Call
I aim for a 20-minute conversation about what you are looking for, what I offer, and if that may be a fit for you and me. If you are part of a couple, I try to speak to both of you before we proceed. There is no fee for this initial conversation. If I am unable to help you I try to find you an appropriate referral.
If you'd like to talk or send an email, please complete the form below; indicate in the message box whether you'd prefer me to email or call.
Turn-Around Time
My policy is to try to email or call back within one or two business days. Please expect a call from a number that may be different than the voicemail number. Please make sure there is room in your message center for me to leave a message for you if you're unavailable to pick up the call, and that your voicemail is set up.
I try to return calls on Monday mornings or Thursday afternoons when I have more time.
Medical Insurance
I am not an in-network provider for any insurance company or group. I am a private-pay therapist and can provide a super-bill for you to present to your insurance provider. Reimbursement is based on your plan and I do not have visibility into this. I apologize that I cannot process insurance plan billing or account for their reimbursement policies.
