Do all people do well with short-term therapy?
Will our work together get you unstuck in life, work, and relationships? Will our work together end your crisis, and will my therapy style be a good fit for you?
It depends, and sometimes we need more time to get to the bottom of what the pain is, and we won't know until we are working together for a few sessions.
It may take longer, and it may take more than once a week. Everyone's needs are different, and that is ok. Either short or longer, it can be an intense and rewarding therapy.
Does telehealth work as well as, in-person?
I love to meet in-person and share space and energy with people who are anxious and doubtful, sleep deprived, and wanting to heal. It's really one of the things I do best.
I have learned that telehealth can be very up close and personal, and sometimes more intimate than in-person. If I wasn't able to really use my senses and have it be close to an in-person experience, then I wouldn't do Telehealth.
We set up our computers and cameras in order to have eye contact, as if we were in the same room-together. Ultimately-a mix of both in-person and Telehealth works well... and for now, I am all telehealth. New York Florida
Will my insurance reimburse my sessions that are out of network or Self-pay?
The answer is maybe, yes, and sometimes no. It is dependent on your insurance plan, the out of network status, and how you submit the superbill receipts.
You pay up front and then submit your superbill and the rest is between you and the insurance company. I do not provide pre-authorizations, or paperwork for self-pay and OON reimbursement.
Why is ISTDP self-pay and OON not covered by my insurance plan?
ISTDP is a very active therapy and it is also video-recorded. Therefore, I see less people, assess the video in between sessions, and use my time with clinical practices. Therefore, I charge self-pay for this service.
Since I am well trained in this modality, I may be using it in session and with therapy covered by insurance, along with other modalities, such as CBT, Mindfulness, etc., and it is not video-recorded.
If you are requesting ISTDP, regardless of your insurance plan, please know it will be self-pay.
