Sex therapy is talk therapy focused on issues related to sexuality like early or late ejaculation, gender identity or desire differences in a relationship. It never involves nudity.

No. I am considered an out-of-network provider. I will provide a Good Faith Estimate every six months. It’s important to note that some insurance policies may offer partial reimbursement for out-of-network mental health services. You can call your insurance company, ask them if your policy reimburses for out-of-network mental health services and what deductible you must meet before reimbursement is available to you. I am connected to Thrizer, a company who will navigate this maze for you. I will provide a superbill monthly for you to submit to your insurance company. Note that in order to generate a superbill, I have to list at least one diagnosis.

Great question. It’s to verify that you’re a real person and not a robot. You won’t be charged for the free consultation.

No. I only see adults who are at least 18 years old.

$200 per 50-minute hour

At this time, I only see people through HIPAA-compliant video meetings. It is really easy and you can talk to me in an environment where you are most comfortable.

First, you will schedule a free 20-minute phone consultation. The purpose of this call is twofold—I want to be sure that I can help you reach your goals for therapy and that we both feel good about starting a therapeutic relationship. During this call, you will tell me briefly about your reason for coming to therapy. Don’t worry—you don’t have to go into all the details. Then I will tell you about my practice, my style and answer any questions you may have. At the end of this call, we can schedule your first 50-minute session.

Prior to our first session, I will send you several documents to complete through my secure, online portal.

1. In case of emergency form: Since we will not be in the same room, I want to have a good contact person in the event of an emergency during our sessions.

2. Questionnaire and demographics: These forms have basic questions you often complete at medical appointments. They also include open-ended questions to tell me about your goals.

3. Informed consent for psychotherapy: This form gives basic information about confidentiality, the therapeutic relationship and potential risks and benefits of engaging in therapy with me.

4. Consent for telehealth consultation: This form gives you information about the pros and cons of online therapy. I think the pros outweigh the cons.

5. Notice of privacy practices: I want you to know how I keep your information safe and confidential. This document details those procedures.

6. Practice policies: This document gives an overview of my practice like cancellation policy, payment and how to get in touch with me.

7. Credit card authorization: By keeping a credit card on file, we never cut into your therapy time due to billing. The system will automatically run your credit card in the middle of the night the day after we meet.

8. Release of information: If you tell me that you have been or are in care with another professional, I may ask your permission to speak to them about your care.

You will complete documentation through my secure online portal before we meet. At our first session, we will focus on getting to know each other and determining your goals for therapy. I will ask about how you decided to come to therapy, your history and how you spend your time. I’m also interested in your support network and where you find meaning in your life. In this session, we will start to make a plan for you including how often we will meet.

I will always check with you to see if you have something pressing for the session. During sessions, I offer support, provide education and challenge you. I often give out-of-session homework to consider during the rest of your week.

For our first session, we will all meet together. In the subsequent weeks, I will meet with each person individually to get their history. After those sessions, we come back together and get to work.

It varies! Some clients come to therapy for a few months to work on a very specific goal or to process an event. Others choose to maintain a long-term relationship with me. The goal of therapy is not to be in therapy anymore, so we will end our relationship when you have met your goals. Some of my clients come to therapy every few years to work on new goals or process other events.

It usually works best to meet weekly at first then decrease the frequency that we see each other. We can adjust the frequency based on your goals.
