FAQs

Do you take insurance?

Yes, I am In Network with Aetna, Kaiser (Colorado), Select Health, Carelon and Quest Health insurance providers. If I am not credentialed with your insurance, you will be responsible to pay the full fee, and I can provide a superbill for you to submit to your out-of-network insurance provider for potential reimbursement. More information and questions to ask your insurance provider can be found here.  

What is a superbill?

A superbill is a detailed, itemized receipt that contains all the information your insurance company will need to process a reimbursement claim, including my credentials, your information, dates of service, diagnosis codes, and treatment codes. You will provide the superbill to your insurance company to receive reimbursement for some or all of your out-of-pocket expenses, depending on your insurance plan.

How do I know if I need therapy?

If you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, emotionally exhausted, or just not like yourself, therapy can help. Even if you're unsure what’s wrong, talking it through with a professional can provide clarity and relief.

What should I expect in the first session?

The first session is a chance for us to get to know each other. I’ll ask some questions about your history, current concerns, and what you're hoping to gain from therapy. You’ll also have the chance to ask me questions. After the first few sessions, we will work collaboratively to build a treatment plan based on your goals and recommendations for our next steps together.

Do you offer in-person or online therapy sessions?

I currently offer both telehealth (online) and in-person services. 

Can I see you for online therapy if I live outside of Colorado?

I have PsyPact authorization and can see people for teletherapy in all authorized states.  Please note that insurance companies credential by state, so commercial insurance may not be eligible. 

How long will it take?

Therapy is highly individual. Some people feel better after just a few sessions and others benefit from longer-term work. We’ll regularly check in on your progress and adjust your goals as needed. You’re in control of the pace and duration.

If I am under 18 do my parents need to consent to services?

In the state of Colorado, teens over 12 can consent for their own outpatient mental health treatment. If you are willing to involve family in the process, that can be helpful. However, if you are not ready or do not want family involved, that is your choice and is completely fine. There are limitations to privacy when it comes to safety, and I can answer any questions you may have in a consultation call. 

If you want to ensure your parents have no knowledge of you engaging in therapy, it is important to note that billing insurance likely would result in your parents receiving claims for services. Let’s chat more by phone to discuss what may work best for your personal circumstances.
