Frequently Asked
Questions
What is Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)?
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) was developed by Sue Johnson and Les Greenberg; it has been highly researched (over 30 years) and has been found to be one of the most effective approaches in resolving relationship distress. EFT helps us begin to track and slow down our dance of distress (negative interactional pattern); which helps us interrupt it in rocky moments with loved ones. EFT also helps us learn about our attachment fears and longings and how to share these with our loved ones in clear and vulnerable ways. Tracking our dance of distress, being able to slow down/ interrupt it and share from primary emotion/ vulnerability all leads to increased emotional safety, meaningful connection and intimacy.
Do you take insurance?
No, I do not accept insurance. However I can provide you with a "superbill" for all services rendered which you may submit to your insurance for reimbursement. I am considered an out of network provider so make sure to check with your insurance plan to see if they reimburse for out-of-network services. Please know that in order for reimbursement almost all insurances require a formal mental health diagnosis.
​
Do you offer in-person sessions?
No, I don't offer in-person therapy sessions. All sessions are held via secure encrypted HIPPA compliment video which is known as "online therapy/ teletherapy".
Is teletherapy as effective as in-person therapy?
Yes, research on teletherapy has shown it to be just as effective as in-person therapy. If your curious about online therapy (aka "teletherapy") you can request a free 15min consultation with me. Many client's find they appreciate the flexibility that teletherapy offers (including no parking, time for commute, etc.). I also hear often how much people love having therapy in the comfort of their own home.
Your right to receive a Good Faith Estimate
You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical and mental health care will cost. Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy services. You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare services, including psychotherapy services. You can ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service. If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
