FAQS
You Ask - I Answer
How long is each session? How often do we see you? What is the best option?
I understand that time, finances, and urgency are important considerations for you. At SBS Mental Health, we offer flexible session lengths to accommodate your needs. You can choose between 55-minute and 90-minute sessions. Many clients find that in the first few sessions, a 90-minute session is helpful because there is so much to share and an urgency to gain some relief from the pain.
We also understand that everyone's situation is different. Some clients prefer to be seen twice per week, while others may choose to come once every other week. During our first session, we can discuss what schedule best fits your needs and circumstances. Your well-being is our priority, and we're here to support you every step of the way.
How many sessions will we need?
I do not have a cut-off for my clients and let them go at their own pace. However, most clients experience relief within the first ten sessions. Some clients with more complicated history desire to keep working together past this timeframe.
Do you take my insurance?
I understand that managing finances and insurance can be a concern. At SBS Mental Health, I am considered an out-of-network provider and do not accept any insurance directly. This means that before each session, you will need to pay the fee owed using a card you keep on file. The fees are $225 for a 55-minute session and $300 for a 90-minute session.
It's up to you to decide if you would like to request reimbursement from your insurance carrier. I can provide you with the necessary documentation to help with your reimbursement request.
Do you offer sliding fee scales?
At this time, I do not. If you are an established client and your finances have changed, please speak with me.
