DO YOU TAKE INSURANCE?
Yes. I am in network with BCBS. I encourage you to contact your insurance to inquire about your benefits and copay before attending your first session.
WHAT IS AN LCSW?
LCSW is the acronym for Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Qualifications to become an LCSW include two years of graduate school for a master's degree in Social Work, followed by an additional 2-3 years working as a therapist under supervision. At the end of all this education and training there is an exam that must be passed in order to receive this licensure.
A mental health provider who is an LCSW is not licensed to prescribe medication.
HOW OFTEN DO I NEED TO COME SEE YOU?
At the start of our work together, I suggest clients attend weekly. However, the frequency in which you attend is something we can discuss after your first session and revisit as needed. I take into consideration your goals, level of distress, resources and availability when making a recommendation.
HOW DO I KNOW IF YOU ARE THE RIGHT THERAPIST?
I offer a free 15 minute phone consultation for you to ask questions to determine if you think we may be a good fit and you’d like to work together. If at any point during our work together you decide you’d like to discontinue, you are free to do so. I’m happy to offer you assistance in finding someone that may be a better fit if you’d like.
