What do I need to know about therapy?
-
Sessions will be between 50-55 minutes unless arranged prior.
-
We will meet for the initial session and start the getting to know you process. I will ask you questions about what has brought you to therapy and some of the goals that you have being here. In subsequent sessions, I will follow your lead in some of the problems that you may have encountered between sessions and what is most important to talk about that day.
-
We work with a broad spectrum of problems that individuals bring to the session including anxiety, depression, disordered eating, self esteem, and life transitions. we will come up with a set of goals together and make a plan to work toward them!
-
Credit cards are saved, using a HIPAA compliant program. I will never see your full card number unless you ask me to enter it manually. the card will be used to charge your co-pay, deductible, etc at the end of the session. it will also be charged for no-shows and late cancellations.
-
You are required to give 24 hours notice to cancel the session. If you do not give 24 hours notice, you will be charged the full fee of the session. This is not something that is covered by insurance. This policy is implemented both as a commitment for you with therapy and i am blocking out time for you. there may be emergencies and they will be assessed on a case by case basis.

At Empowered Wellness, we’ve chosen to remain out-of-network with many insurance plans so we can provide a more personalized experience and have greater flexibility in tailoring treatment to each client’s individual needs and goals.
Insurance companies can place restrictions on the type, frequency, and length of therapy, which can sometimes interfere with the way we believe therapy is most effective. Our private-pay model allows us to focus on the therapeutic relationship and your goals rather than having treatment decisions driven by insurance requirements.
We know that private-pay therapy is an investment, and we’re committed to making the process as transparent as possible. If your plan offers out-of-network mental health benefits, you may also be eligible for reimbursement directly from your insurance company, and we provide detailed superbills to make that process easier.
