  • 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 can 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 offer a free 15-minute consultation call to determine fit for service. 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.

  • 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.

  • Approximately 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 way of being allows your child to grow into an authentic and more integrated human being who is better able to adapt to life's stressors.

  • 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.

  • All therapy sessions are confidential. milestones play therapy & counseling adheres to all legal and ethical standards regarding client privacy. Information shared in therapy sessions will not be disclosed without your written permission, with certain exceptions required by law (such as suspected abuse of children or vulnerable adults, risk of harm to self or others, or court orders).
