We accept personal checks, credit card, and FSA/HSA cards. Clients are provided with superbills for each session, which may be used to submit to insurance companies that are out of network. As a courtesy, we do submit claims to insurance plans that we currently are in-network with. Current in-network plans include;

• Blue Cross Blue Shield PPO
• Blue CHOICE
• BCBS IL HMO (IL Healthpartners/ DMG/ Edward-Elmhurst)
• ComPsych
• Modern Health

Office hours vary by location. Appointments are offered during the day, evening, and weekends. It is important to us to do our best to accommodate our clients’ busy schedules.

To best support our clients, we do offer sessions via a HIPAA-compliant telehealth platform called VSee. We find VSee to be especially useful and clinically appropriate for many clients. Some clients we use telehealth sessions for, includes;

• Early postpartum moms
• College students
• Professionals traveling for work
• Clients with anxiety benefiting from exposure work in-vivo
• Meal support

If you are unable to attend a session, please make sure you cancel at least 24 hours beforehand. Otherwise, you will be charged for the full rate of the session.

Not at all. People who ask for help know when they need it and have the courage to reach out. Everyone needs help now and then. In our work together, we’ll help you explore and identify your strengths and how to implement them to reduce the influence of the problems you are facing.

The difference is between someone who can do something, and someone who has the training and experience to do that same thing professionally. A mental health professional can help you approach your situation in a new way– teach you new skills, gain different perspectives, listen to you without judgment or expectations, and help you listen to yourself. Furthermore, counseling is completely confidential. You won’t have to worry about others “knowing my business.”

Medication can be effective but it alone cannot solve all issues. Sometimes medication is needed in conjunction with counseling. Our work together is designed to explore and unpack the problems you are experiencing and expand on your strengths that can help you accomplish your personal goals.

Because each person has different issues and goals for counseling, it will be different depending on the individual. I tailor my therapeutic approach to your specific needs.

Unfortunately, this is not possible to say in a general FAQs page. Everyone’s circumstances are unique to them and the length of time counseling can take to allow you to accomplish your goals depends on your desire for personal development, your commitment, and the factors that are driving you to seek counseling in the first place.

We are so glad you are dedicated to getting the most out of your sessions. Your active participation and dedication will be crucial to your success.

Please contact us for any additional questions you may have. We look forward to hearing from you!
