FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I am a provider for many different insurance companies to include BCBS, Aetna, Cigna, and others. I do not take Medicare, Medicaid or United Health Care at this time. My fee is 215.00 per 60 minute session. Payment is due at the time of service, by cash, check, credit card, Paypal, Venmo, CashApp, or Apple Pay. I also accept HSA cards. If self paying, I accept cash, check, all major credit cards, and HSA cards through your employer. If using insurance; I will submit claims for you, even if I am out of network. You may have a co-pay, co-insurance, or deductible to meet as well.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I try to make the process as comfortable, convenient, and easy as possible. Clients make appointments with me through text or email. We often consult briefly on the phone first. I email them some information and a questionnaire to fill out. Our first appointment, whether by phone or in person, is about getting acquainted, and asking questions to understand the problems or issues for which the appointment was made. Starting with that first meeting or call, I ensure that there is time to discuss the immediate problem at hand; while doing a thorough evaluation. Within the first couple of sessions, I collaborate with my clients on a plan as to how to move forward, so that they can get what they need out of therapy.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I earned a Masters Degree in Clinical Social Work from the University of Illinois at Chicago. I have over twenty years of experience in the mental health field, three licenses through the State of Nebraska, and earn 32 hours of Continuing Education every two years. I have received advanced level training in several areas; Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR); Critical Incident Stress Debriefing, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy.(DBT). In addition, I have lived all over the country and have worked with a diverse clientele.
