  • Sessions are typically 50 minutes long. Most clients begin with weekly or bi-weekly sessions, though we adjust based on your needs and schedule. As treatment goes on, we may discuss reducing the frequency.

  • I do! I can provide superbills for reimbursement if your plan offers out-of-network benefits. Also, I accept self-pay and sliding scale is provided for those who qualify.

  • No, the Arizona Board of Behavioral Health does not permit therapists to complete this documentation. Please speak with your primary care provider.
