Frequently asked questions
Common FAQs for women seeking therapy in Florida:
When it comes to medication, it's important to make the choice in consultation with your doctor to ensure it's the right step for you. Research suggests that combining therapy and medication can provide better outcomes for individuals with mental health conditions compared to either treatment alone (NIHR Article). In my past experience, I have found that lasting growth and enhanced well-being come from exploring a holistic approach to wellness.

Therapy lasts as long as you need it to! It’s all about what works for you and what you’re hoping to get out of it. Some people find therapy helpful for a few sessions while others unpack and explore topics that last for longer periods of time. We’ll go at your pace and check in along the way to make sure it feels right.
While I am in-network with Aetna, Florida Blue/BCBS, Cigna/Evernorth and United Health Care, every insurance plan is different. To determine if your specific plan will cover sessions with me, contact your insurance carrier by calling the number on the back of your insurance card. Ask the following questions to ensure coverage of services:
• What are my mental health or behavioral health benefits?
• What is the coverage amount per therapy session?
• How many therapy sessions does my plan cover?
• How much does my insurance pay for an out-of-network
provider?
• Is approval required from my primary care physician?
Private pay services are available at a rate of $150.00 per 55-minute session.
To keep things running smoothly and respect everyone's time, I require at least 24-hour notice if you would need to reschedule or cancel our appointment. If cancellations are made within that 24-hour window, a $75.00 fee will apply. Same day weekend cancellations will result in an automatic $75.00 fee.
Client-therapist confidentiality is generally protected by law,
meaning communications remain private unless you give me
written consent to disclose information.
There are some legal exceptions that would result in sharing without consent, including:
• Suspected child abuse or elder abuse. I would be required to report this to the appropriate authorities immediately.
• If there is an immediate threat of serious harm to yourself or others, I am legally required to contact the authorities for safety reasons. For self-harm or suicidal thoughts, I will do my best to ensure your safety and work with you, but additional steps may be taken if cooperation is not sufficient.
