• Either myself or the therapist you requested will speak with you personally to gather some information to learn more about you and answer any questions you have about the practice, professional backgrounds and approaches. If we decide that it is a good fit, we will schedule an initial session.

  • Better Being Psychology Group does not accept insurance. We protect our clients privacy and confidentiality and believe that we can offer more flexibility with appointments. This also enables me to work directly for you and not the insurance company. We understand that therapy is an investment in you and we will work with you to minimize financial stressors. We do work with company's that can assist you with superbill submission and possible reimbursement through your out of network plan.

  • Some insurance companies and plans do allow for reimbursement of out of network providers or for the cost of your sessions to go toward your deductible. We can help you identify these benefits on our website or during our initial call. You may also contact your insurance company to inquire about your specific benefits. Upon request, we will provide you with a receipt of services and payment that will include all information required by the insurance companies. We also have the ability to accept most HSA cards and have relationships with companies that can also assists in coordinating reimbursement with your insurance carrier.

  • The fee per session depends on the provider you choose and the the serivce requested. Overall, our services range from $150 to $225 per 45 -50 minutes.

  • During your initial appointment, we will focus on getting to know each other. Your therapist will ask several questions, including what has brought you to therapy. If time allows I will also gather background information to further understand your concern. Generally, the first few sessions are an assessment of the presenting problem and an opportunity for us to explore your history and its connection to why you are seeking therapy description.

  • We recommend you reflect on the following questions in order to make the most of your first appointment: 1) What made you decide to call for therapy? and 2) What do you want to get out of therapy? If this is a hard question to answer, think about the top three most pressing concerns you want addressed in therapy. Do not worry if these questions are difficult to answer. Merely use them to reflect. We can work on these answers collaboratively in session.

  • Like medication, therapy is in part dependent on the amount you receive. During our initial session you and your therapist will talk about the frequency of sessions recommend based on your concerns and the goals you would like to work on. Often, therapy occurs weekly or bi-weekly until you have accomplished your goals. At this time, we move to monthly sessions until you feel ready to be your own therapist.

  • The length of therapy is different for everyone. Sometimes people start therapy for one concern and decide they would like to work on something additional. While I will be here to support you at any time, my goal for you is that you become your own therapist. Together to you and I will clarify your goals and develop a plan to achieve them!
