Fees and Policies

Our first appointment has two purposes:

• It allows you to meet me and find out whether you feel comfortable working with me. This may seem a little unusual, as one does not usually do this with other medical professionals. However, therapy involves a large commitment of time, money, and energy, so it is important that you select a therapist that is best for you. 
   
• It allows me to find out more about your needs. Occasionally this process may involve a second or third appointment, where there are particularly complicated issues that need to be assessed.

By the end of the assessment, I will provide you with a summary of how I understand the issue, and what I think would be needed to help you with the issue. This will include an estimate of how many sessions you might need to address a particular issue.

Sessions

If we agree to work together, we will schedule one 45-minute session at a time we agree on. We will usually see each other once a week, but the frequency and duration of sessions can be altered if necessary.
