Question 1

Are sessions in person or virtual?

Accepted Answer

Both! I provide virtual therapy throughout MN and WA, and in-person sessions at my St. Paul office.  It is common to prefer in-person or virtual, or a mix of the two, and I am open to all of it.

Question 2

Do you take insurance, and what are your rates

Accepted Answer

I am in-network with BCBS MN and UnitedHealth Care (UHC).  For private pay clients my sessions are $160 for a 55-minute session.

Question 3

How often do clients attend sessions?

Accepted Answer

Clients often begin with weekly sessions to build momentum and consistency.  This isn't always the case, just what my clients have generally preferred.  As progress is made and things start to feel more manageable, sessions often shift to every other week and eventually to an as-needed basis for ongoing support or check-ins

Question 4

What if I can't make it to the office for my session?

Accepted Answer

We can almost always switch to a virtual session if the need arises.  From time to time, I may lean on this option as well.  Illness, weather, caretaking are all good reasons to switch to virtual

Question 5

What if I live in Washington, can I still meet with you?

Accepted Answer

Yes!  Washington clients can meet with me via telehealth.  I'd love that

Question 6

How will I know if therapy is working?

Accepted Answer

You'll notice therapy is working when your goals and direction start to feel clearer, your trust in your own instincts grows, and that fuzzy picture of where you want to end up begins to take shape.  Change isn't always linear, and therapy isn't always instantly gratifying, but over time, you'll see progress in both insight and action.   I love this question!
