The first time we meet is generally a time for us to get to know one another. It is important for
us to feel comfortable with one another, and the best way to find this out is to talk. Our first
meeting will last about 50 minutes. During this time you are welcome to say a bit about what
brought you in, and you are also free to ask me any questions that you may have about me. If
you decide that you would like to return, we can talk about how frequently you might like to
come. In general, people come between once per week to once per month, with early
sessions being more frequent and later sessions less frequent.
If you are wondering what to do next, feel free to call me directly at 608-250-2492. I am happy
to answer any questions that you might have. If you get my confidential voice mail when you
call, please leave a message and I will return your call asap.
Here are some FAQs to guide you through the insurance maze:
Do You Take My Insurance?
I do not take Medicare, Badgercare, Medicaid or Tricare. If you have any other insurance plan, I will be happy
to bill them on your behalf.
However, some insurance policies are very strict regarding who you must see in order to be covered by the
plan, and others are quite flexible. If you want to know if therapy with me will be covered by your particular
plan, call your insurance directly and ask them "Do I have coverage for out of network, outpatient mental
health services?" If they say yes, bring your card to the first session and I will be happy to bill them for you.
Your insurance will probably require you to pay a deductible and copayment. These are payable to me at the
time of each session.
My Insurance Does Not Cover You, Why Might I Still Want To See You?
Many people choose to see me for therapy even when their insurance will only pay to see someone else.
Reasons include:
- Desire to choose your own therapist instead of seeing someone randomly picked from a small list by
your insurance company
- Desire for responsive, personalized care with easy and flexible scheduling
- Ability to get in quick! I can usually offer you a session within 1 or 2 days of your request
- Self pay can keep personal and detailed information out of the hands of your insurance company
- Allows you to come as often as you want and finish when you feel done instead of needing to follow
arbitrary guidelines set by the insurance company
- Come to a quiet and serene space for therapy and deal directly with me. No impersonal clinics or
receptionists
