I am an out-of-network provider, meaning you will be charged at the time of service for the therapy session. Depending on your insurance plan, you may be eligible for reimbursement. In that case, I will provide you with a superbill to submit to your insurance for their decision. Please verify how your plan compensates for out-of-network mental health outpatient services by contacting your insurance provider directly.
I charge $210 for the initial intake session and $185 for each play therapy session and caregiver support session. In-person family play therapy sessions are $195 and may be indicated depending on your child’s treatment plan.
-
I offer a free 15-minute consultation call to determine fit for service. Schedule your consultation here.
If we both agree to proceed, we will then schedule a virtual, parent-only intake session (60 minutes), followed by 1 to 3 play assessment sessions between me and your child (the number of play assessment sessions varies depending on your child's temperament). Then I will meet with you again for a virtual treatment planning session where we'll collaborate on goals, and I will set expectations for the course of treatment.
-
I am currently accepting new clients. I offer in-person play therapy sessions on Friday afternoons and Saturday mornings. Caregiver support sessions are held virtually Monday through Friday; timing depends on mutual availability.
-
Typically, your child and I will work through the phases of play therapy over 6 months before we assess whether to identify new treatment goals or graduate your child from therapy.
-
Play therapy for kids and pre-teens typically lasts 45-55 minutes each week.
-
30-minute teletherapy sessions every 3 to 6 weeks to assess your child's progress toward symptom reduction.
-
No, as a child-centered therapist, I intentionally provide a supportive environment based on congruence, warmth, and unconditional positive regard using my demeanor and responses to your child's play. This approach helps your child better understand and express their feelings, build confidence in who they are, and develop healthier ways to cope with life’s challenges.
-
I require at least 24 hours of advance notice for appointment cancellations. Late cancellations and missed appointments will incur a 100% fee of the full price of the session.
