FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

How long are sessions?
Sessions for individual sessions are 50 minutes in duration and 60 minutes for couples.

What is your cancellation policy?
Cancellations, Missed Sessions and Rescheduling: I ask for 24 hours notice for any cancelling or rescheduling for a different week so I can attempt to fill the appointment time.  All appointments that are rescheduled for a different week, cancelled with less than 24 hours notice or missed will be charged the regular fee for that appointment.

Is psychotherapy confidential?
Yes, what you talk about is confidential and I will take every measure I can to safeguard your information.  It is unethical for me to disclose information about our work together with a few exceptions listed below where we are required by our profession to break confidentiality.

-In the event there is clear and imminent danger to yourself or another person.
-If you disclose information that provides evidence of current abuse or neglect of a child or an older adult.
-You authorize your therapist to disclose information (e.g., to another treatment provider or family member).
-In certain legal proceedings, which is very rare, and we are under court order.

Do you keep notes about what I say in session?
Yes.  The laws and standards of our profession require that I keep clinical treatment records.  I can prepare a summary for you if you request it within a reasonable time frame.  Because these are professional records, they can be misinterpreted and/or upsetting to untrained readers.  If you wish to see your records, I recommend that you view them in my presence so that I can discuss the contents.  I do charge an appropriate fee for professional time spent in responding to this request.
