What can I expect in therapy?
Therapy is conducted in a quiet, confidential space. Appointments are typically 50 minutes in length, but longer sessions can be scheduled according to your needs. Sessions often are scheduled weekly as we begin our work together and decrease in frequency over time as you experience progress. I often check in about how you feel our work is going including what you find helpful and not helpful, as I am invested in our work together.
What are the benefits and risks of therapy?
Most individuals and families benefit from therapy. For some, progress occurs right away, though for others healing takes more time. Prognosis depends greatly on you as a unique person, the nature of your concerns, and your motivation toward making changes. Additionally, sometimes bringing tough issues to the surface can make us feel worse for a while. This should be temporary, and fairly normal as changing behaviors and healing take time. That said, struggles that include suicidal thoughts are things I want to know about between sessions, especially if they're new.
What is the cost of therapy?
Rates vary from $125-$195 based on the type of session (initial diagnostic assessment, ongoing therapy, Prolonged Exposure (PE) sessions or other 90-minute sessions), or if you are self-pay.
I am contracted with Medical Mutual insurance. Your individual responsibility depends on your mental health deductible and copay. If you do not have Medical Mutual insurance, you can access reimbursement for our services through your out-of-network benefits (see below for more information).
What does Out of Network Mean?
Out of Network means that your insurance can reimburse part of your service fees, though the level of reimbursement is at the discretion of your insurer. Most clients are reimbursed 60-100% of sessions fees, depending on the insurance and deductible criteria. This means that if your deductible has been met, your out of pocket cost can be $50 or less, which is similar to many insurance co-pays. If you're interested in using your out of network benefit, we are happy to provide a receipt at each visit upon request, but also encourage you to contact your insurance company directly and ask the following questions:
How to I schedule a first appointment?
Call 330-403-4177 and leave me a message with your name and contact information. We will reply within 24 hours, often sooner, to schedule our first appointment. Most appointments can be scheduled within 2 weeks.
How do I pay session fees?
Payment (full fee, co-insurance, or copay) is due at time of service; I accept cash, check or credit card.
Where is the practice located?
The charming Wooster office is located at 148 E. Liberty St.,just next to the Liberty Street Commons/Marketplace.

- What percentage of the fee is covered after this deductible is met?
- What are any limits for my out of network mental health benefits? Is this different for work with an in-network provider?
- What is the reimbursement process for out of network expenses?
