​
Are you accepting new clients?

Yes I am always accepting new clients because I only see most clients for just a few weeks, not months or years such as is common in talk therapy.  Because I have fairly frequent client turnover, I generally always have openings within two to three weeks.

​

​

​

When do you schedule appointments?

Most appointments are on Mondays, early mornings, weekends, or at times I can make special arrangements if you have a challenging schedule.

​

​

​

Do you provide EMDR for children?

I generally don't see anyone under 18 years of age unless there is a special circumstance arranged with a parent or legal guardian.  I have never performed EMDR with anyone under 11 years of age.

​

​

​

Is this entirely confidential?

Yes entirely and a big part of why I do not participate with insurance which requires the documentation of a clinical diagnosis which many people I've worked with prefer not to have on their record and insurance often shares info with the national clinical database which I consider a serious threat to privacy.

​

​

​
Do you take insurance?

I presently accept plans under Aetna, Cigna, Optum, and United Healthcare in the 35 states where I am licensed and I accept Blue Cross (Anthem) in Massachusetts. If you have insurance I do not participate with I can provide an invoice with the billing codes you can submit on your own for reimbursement or application to your deductible if you have one. 

​

​

​

Can I still submit your bill to my insurance?

Yes you can and most insurance will reimburse you at their out of network allowance amount.  I can provide an invoice upon request after all services are complete.

​

​

​

Do you provide letters for courts or other purposes?

Yes, normally for a fee of $45 per page.

​

​

 

How many sessions do I need?

Treatment can be very rapid, however, the number of sessions will vary, according to the complexity of the issues being dealt with. After an EMDR session, there may be a strong sense of relief, a feeling of openness and healing. EMDR therapy is cost effective, requiring fewer sessions than traditional therapy. Relief from emotional distress often comes within the first few sessions.

​

​

 

Do you accept credit cards?

Yes including Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover & Medical Savings Account (MSA) Cards
