Frequently Asked Questions
Do you take insurance?
I am currently in process of becoming credentialed with Aetna, Cigna, and Optum. I plan to add on other insurance companies in the future.
What are your private pay rates?
A full session is typically ~50 minutes, but 45 minute and 30 minute sessions are also an option for established clients. Private pay rates are as follows: 50 minute session = $150 Sliding scale rates are available, but limited. Please inquire for further information!
What does a typical therapy session look like?
The intake session is always an opportunity for us to get to know one another better. Through conversation, we will determine your goals for therapy and through this I will create a treatment plan that will guide our work together. Subsequent sessions will be tailored to the goals on your treatment plan. There will always be space for you to unpack current events and things that are weighing on your mind. I will also have something planned for sessions - whether it's an activity, brainspotting, or something else, it will always align with your goals.
What is the Chronic Illness Group like?
The group is open, meaning members do not have to attend every group session, so there's usually a mix of participants each month. The group is scheduled for the first Wednesday of each month from 5-6pm. The first half of the group is an opportunity for conversation and connection. Group members often provide updates on their life with chronic illness and seek advice or share stories. The second half of the hour is an opportunity to engage in a reflection activity. This activity looks different each month, but the topic of the activity is always communicated in advance by email. Past activity topics have included grief, acceptance, identity, and advocacy.
Are you taking new clients?
Yes! I am currently accepting new clients for individual therapy services. The Chronic Illness Support Group is always open to new members. Please reach out to schedule an intake session or sign up for the group!
Do you do in-person sessions?
At this time, Balance Counseling Collective is a fully virtual psychotherapy practice. This means, all sessions are conducted via Telehealth through a secure, HIPPA compliant, platform. The goal is for you to be as comfortable as possible and be able to fit therapy into your schedule easily! Telehealth allows you to do sessions from anywhere, as long as you are still in Florida, and not have to go out of your way to come into an office.
What age demographics do you work with?
I work with adults from all demographics. At this time, I do not work with anyone under 18 years old.
