FAQ

We provide a variety of therapeutic approaches, including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), Client centered approach, mindfulness-based therapy, and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR). We will work with you to determine the best approach based on your needs.

A collaborative process between a trained mental health professional and an individual seeking support. It aims to help individuals understand and manage their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors in a healthy way. Therapy provides a space for individuals to gain insight, heal from past experiences, and develop skills to manage their mental health effectively.

Currently, we are only offering telehealth (virtual) services. Benefits of virtual therapy include accessibility and flexibility. You can choose a time and place to do therapy that work for you without the need for extra travel time. There may also be reduced stigma; attending therapy from home can feel less intimidating and more private. Telehealth can also assist with the continuity of care by maintaining regular sessions easily, even during transitions or health concerns.

Note: We are independently licensed in the State of Florida. Clients must be in Florida during the session while telehealth services are provided.

Every client is different in the amount of time it will take to reach their goals. During the initial sessions, a treatment plan will be created based on the clients’ presenting problems and goals. Once those goals are met then it is up to the client if they feel they would like to continue working towards new goals or if they feel they are ready to be discharged.

We adhere to strict privacy standards and follow HIPAA regulations to ensure that your information remains confidential and secure. There are limits to confidentiality that include:

 

• Harm to Self or Others: If a client poses a risk of harm to themselves or others, the therapist is required to take appropriate action, which may include breaking confidentiality to inform authorities or family members.

 

• Child or Elder Abuse: Therapists are mandated reporters. If they suspect or are informed of abuse or neglect involving children or vulnerable adults, they must report it to the appropriate authorities.

 

• Legal Requirements: If a court issues a subpoena or order for records or testimony, the therapist may be required to disclose information as mandated by law.

 

• Client Consent: Clients can provide written consent to share information with specific individuals or entities. Once consent is given, the therapist can disclose the agreed-upon information.

 

• Clients should discuss these limits to confidentiality with their therapist to clarify any concerns about confidentiality.

• Note: Under Section 2799B-6 of the Public Health Service Act, health care providers and health care facilities are required to inform individuals who are not enrolled in a plan or coverage or a Federal health care program, or not seeking to file a claim with their plan or coverage both orally and in writing of their ability, upon request or at the time of scheduling health care items and services, to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” of expected charges.

 

• You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost.

 

• Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.

 

• You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.

 

• Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.

 

• If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.

 

• Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises

 

The session is 55 minutes.

Note: sessions that go longer than 1 hour will be charged by the quarter of an hour.

To maintain your privacy and confidentiality, we consciously choose to work without insurance. When you book through insurance, insurance companies require your therapist to give you a diagnosis of mental illness on your medical record. They also monitor your personal files with intimate details of your sessions to decide if you should continue to receive mental healthcare. We do not believe you need a mental health diagnosis to receive care and are highly committed to your confidentiality. Read more about the benefits of out-of-network therapy.
