Questions
Is therapy right for me?
Therapy can benefit anyone facing emotional challenges, relationship difficulties, or life transitions. It provides tools for self-awareness, coping strategies, and improved interpersonal dynamics.
Is medication a substitute for therapy?
Medication may complement therapy for some conditions, but therapy addresses root causes of distress. A psychiatrist can determine if combined treatment is appropriate for your situation.
Do you accept insurance?
I work with many out-of-network insurance plans. Contact me to verify coverage details and discuss affordable payment options if I don't accept your specific plan.
Is therapy confidential?
Therapy sessions are confidential except in cases of imminent harm to self or others, child abuse, or elder abuse, as required by law.
