FAQs
What should someone know about working with you?
The therapeutic relationship is an essential component of healing. It is important that you feel safe, seen, connected, and comfortable with your therapist. I am dedicated to learning your history. In our initial session my intention is to get a better sense of what led you to seek therapy. Based on this information we work on co-creating goals and treatment plans according to your unique needs. I encourage you to schedule a free consultation and see if we connect.
Sessions are typically 45 minutes. Frequency of sessions is generally once or twice a week depending upon the needs of the client.
How long/often are sessions?
Do you take insurance?
I currently do not accept insurance. If you have have out-of-network coverage, it is likely that your insurance company will reimburse you for my services. At the end of each month I will provide you with an invoice that can be submitted to your insurance company. If you are planning to use insurance, it is a good idea to verify coverage with your insurance company first to assess what your reimbursement will be.
What is your cancelation policy?
Since the scheduling of an appointment involves the reservation of time set aside especially for you, a minimum of 24 hours notice is required for rescheduling or cancellation of an appointment. If for any reason a session is canceled less than 24 hours prior, the full fee will be charged.
Are sessions confidential?
As a Middle Eastern woman, I have experienced and witnessed the stigma that comes with reaching out for help and attending therapy. I acknowledge that doubt, fear, and shame are very real concerns. Protecting your confidentiality first and foremost is part of my code of ethics as a mental health professional. Your confidentiality is highly important in order for you to feel safe and secure in sharing during sessions. Everything that we talk about in session is confidential with a handful of exceptions: if I feel that you are an imminent danger to yourself or someone else, I can break confidentiality to keep you/others safe. If I learn about abuse (or suspected abuse) of a child under the age of 18, an elderly person, and/or a person with a disability, I am mandated to report it. Finally, if a court of law issues a legitimate subpoena for specific information, I am mandated to comply but will let you know beforehand.
