New Clients

Due to a high volume of appointment requests, I require all counseling policies to be completed before scheduling an appointment. This ensures a smooth process and helps reduce wait times.

Here’s how the process works:

• Submit an Appointment Request Form: Once you complete the form, I will review your information and follow up within 1-2 business days. If there is availability, you will receive a welcome email, an invite to your client portal, and I will confirm your insurance benefits (if applicable). Once that process is complete, your appointment will be confirmed.
• Waitlist or Referrals: If I currently have no availability, you will be added to a waiting list based on your preferences or provided with referrals to other providers who may have sooner availability.
• Insurance and Self-Pay: I am an in-network provider for most major insurance companies. I also accept private pay, flex spending/HSA cards, and major credit cards. Please note: A card must be on file for all clients receiving individual counseling with Out of The Box Counseling.
• Insurance Coverage: Once your appointment is scheduled, I will verify your insurance coverage and obtain any necessary authorizations. However, verification of benefits does not guarantee claim payment. It's important to understand your benefit coverage and confirm that your insurance plan includes virtual therapy services.
• Self-Pay and Opt-Out Options: If you do not have insurance or prefer not to use it, you will be considered Self-Pay. Self-pay clients are responsible for paying in full on the date of service. If you wish to opt-out of insurance billing, you will need to sign an Opt-Out form. You can opt back in at any time by completing an Opt-In form.
• Good Faith Estimate (GFE): The Good Faith Estimate (GFE) is a federal mandate to provide transparency regarding medical costs. If you are not using insurance or do not have insurance, you will receive an estimate of costs for therapy services. If your bill is more than $400 above your GFE, you have the right to dispute the charges.

How Long Does Therapy Last?

The duration of therapy varies for each person. According to the American Psychological Association, “on average, 15 to 20 sessions are required for 50% of patients to recover.” Some people may require longer periods to achieve complete symptom remission and feel confident in maintaining treatment gains.

We will work together to assess your needs and establish a plan of action to help you reach your goals. Therapy is a collaborative process, and I’ll be with you every step of the way.
