Frequently Asked Questions

Absolutely!  When you schedule your appointment, please let me know if you would like Piper to be present. 

Your comfort level, when we meet is key; the choice is yours!

Your first appointment is generally an initial evaluation, which lasts approximately 90 minutes. This will allow enough time to gather information about why you are seeking assistance, and assure that you have ample time to ask questions. You may be asked to arrive early in order to fill out initial session paperwork completed through the client portal (which I will help you access). Follow up appointments will ordinarily be 50 in duration, at a frequency to which we agree.

 If you need to cancel or reschedule a session, I ask that you provide me with 24 hours’ notice.  

If you have a health insurance policy, it will usually provide some coverage for behavioral health treatment. With your permission, I will fill out forms and provide you with whatever assistance I can in helping you receive the benefits to which you are entitled; however, you (not your insurance company) are responsible for full payment of fees owed.  It is very important that you find out exactly what behavioral health services your insurance policy covers. You should carefully read the section in your insurance coverage booklet that describes behavioral health services.  If you have any questions about the coverage, call your plan administrator.
