Frequently Asked Questions About Therapy Rates & Sessions
How long is a typical therapist session?
A standard therapist session is 60 minutes. However, session length can be customized based on your needs, with fees prorated for longer appointments. During your initial consultation, we can discuss what session format works best for you.
Do you offer a free consultation before starting therapy?
Yes! I offer a complimentary 15-minute consultation so you can ask questions, learn about my approach, and determine if we're a good fit before committing to paid therapist sessions. There's no obligation to move forward after this initial call.
How often should I attend therapy sessions?
Most clients benefit from weekly therapist sessions, especially when starting therapy. As you progress, we may adjust to bi-weekly or monthly sessions based on your goals and needs. Session frequency is always tailored to what works best for you and your schedule.
What happens during the first therapist session?
Your first therapist session (intake appointment) focuses on getting to know you, understanding your concerns, and collaboratively developing a plan for our work together. We'll discuss your goals, explore what brought you to therapy, and determine the best approach for your unique situation.
What are your areas of specialty as a therapist?
I specialize in perinatal and reproductive mental health, including prenatal and postpartum depression and anxiety, fertility challenges, pregnancy loss, and birth trauma. I also have training in treating anxiety, depression, grief and loss, life transitions, and support for parents, couples, and healthcare professionals. Each therapist session is tailored to your unique concerns and goals.
Can I bring my baby to therapy sessions?
Absolutely! Babies are welcome in both in-person and online therapist sessions. I understand that finding childcare can be a barrier to accessing support, especially for new parents. Your baby's presence won't interfere with our work together, in fact, it often provides valuable insight into the parent-child relationship and allows us to address your needs in real-time.
