Do you offer virtual sessions?

Yes! All sessions are conducted via a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform for your convenience.

What happens during the free consultation?

This 15-minute phone call gives us a chance to discuss your needs, goals, and how I can support you. It’s also an opportunity for you to ask any questions, simply to ensure that we are a good fit (both scheduling wise and in my own clinical skills). To the same effect, YOU deserve to feel confident in choosing a therapist (comparison shopping encouraged!).

How do you protect my privacy?

Per Florida ethical guidelines for therapists, your information is kept confidential with a few exceptions. Theses include:

- Court subpoena of records

- Client is deemed an immediate harm to self or another

- Therapist is made aware of child abuse, elder abuse, or abuse of person with disabilities (mandated reporting)

Client records are held for seven years following service termination and thereafter destroyed.

How often should I come to therapy?

This is entirely dependent on your preferences and needs! Some folks feel that bi-weekly (every two weeks) is sufficient, while others prefer once weekly, once monthly, as needed, etc. This is always up to you, and can change with your circumstances.
