Common Questions

A. Yes, I accept Aetna and Cigna via Alma. If you’d like to seek reimbursement through your plan’s out-of-network benefits for a different insurance (BCBS for example), a monthly superbill will be offered as an invoice for submission to your provider. Please check with your insurance to explore the out-of-network benefits of your plan.

A. All practitioners work differently but I prefer seeing my clients weekly. Consistency in any practice, whether it be physical, mental, or emotional, is essential for growth.

A. Maybe! Questionnaires and worksheets can be helpful in some cases. I might also suggest books or sources that could be useful, however, it is my experience that the work done in sessions will slowly begin to permeate life outside of therapy. This isn’t to say that insight alone produces change. Rather, the transformative work in therapy usually results in an intrinsic motivation and ability to create a life that is more congruent with one’s authentic self.

A. I require that clients give 24 hours notice in advance if they cannot make their regularly scheduled appointment.

A. No, I do not. If it appears that an evaluation for psychotropic medication might be useful, I will refer my client to a Psychiatrist or Nurse Practitioner who can further evaluate and discuss options with you.

A: All of the scheduling and billing is handled through the Simple Practice client portal. You can pay electronically with a debit, credit, or HSA card that is linked to your portal. Via the portal, you will receive appointment reminders, payment receipts, super bills and any other relevant documentation.

A: I offer sessions via Telehealth and in-person (South/Central Austin) on Mondays- Thursdays. I offer virtual sessions for clients residing in Texas only. I use a safe and confidential platform for my electronic sessions. You will receive a different link prior to each session. I do ask that you find a quiet location, away from others, for your sessions. I don’t mind pets joining online but sadly cannot invite them to in-person sessions.

A. Reach out via the contact form and I will email you to set up a time to have a 15 minute consultation call. During this call we will go over why you are reaching out for services at this time, answer any questions you may have, and go from there.
