Can I use my insurance?
Because I am pursuing my full licensure, which will take two years to acquire, I am unfortunately not able to accept insurance. If this is a concern for you, I would be happy to refer you to a counselor that is able to accept insurance.

How often will I have a session?
Therapy is most effective the more consistent you can be with services. It is recommended that you schedule a session once a week, or every other week depending on your level of distress, commitment, and financial flexibility. Once you feel like you have made progress, it is possible to meet monthly to maintain stabilization.

How long will it take before I start feeling better?
As most answers related to counseling, "it depends" applies here as well. Often counseling and therapy is like working out. It feels worse before it starts to feel better. Patience is an important part of the process. However, often clients start to feel a change after the second or third session because they can feel a burden lifted once they are able to trust their therapist.
