FAQ
Common questions
How do I get started?
Reach out through the contact page, by email, or by phone. We'll set up a free consultation, and if it feels like a good fit, we'll schedule your first session.
Do you take insurance?
Yes. I'm in network with Aetna and Blue Cross Blue Shield. If I'm out of network with your plan, I can provide a superbill you can submit to your insurer for possible reimbursement. It's worth calling your insurance company to ask about out-of-network mental health benefits.
Do I need a postpartum depression diagnosis to work with you?
Not at all. Many people reach out simply because things feel harder than they expected, or they don't feel like themselves. You don't need a label to deserve support.
What happens in the first session?
The first session is a chance for us to get to know each other. I'll ask about what brings you in, your history, and what you'd like to be different. You're welcome to share at whatever pace feels comfortable.
How does telehealth work?
We meet over a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform. You'll get a link before each session. All you need is a private space and a phone, tablet, or computer. You must be physically located in Massachusetts during our sessions.
I'm a college student from out of state. Can I work with you?
Yes, as long as you are physically in Massachusetts during our sessions, such as while you're at school here. If you'll be home in another state over breaks, we'll talk ahead of time about how to plan for that.
Can I bring my baby to sessions?
Of course. Babies are welcome on screen. Feeding, rocking, or pausing when needed is completely okay.
Is what I share confidential?
Yes. What you share in therapy is confidential, with a few legal exceptions, such as concerns about immediate safety or the abuse of a child or vulnerable adult. I'll go over these with you at the start.
What's your cancellation policy?
Please give at least 24 hours' notice to cancel or reschedule. Late cancellations and missed sessions are charged a $75 fee.
