Frequently Asked Questions

Question: New Leaf Therapy or Center for Integrative Change?

Answer: I am a therapist employed by Center for Integrative Change. New Leaf Therapy is my website where I share additional information about my services, approach, and other valuable resources for clients. Its primary purpose is to generate referrals / marketing. Thank you for visiting my this site. If we decide to work together, all documents will be handled by Center for Integrative Change. Apologies in advance for any confusion. 

Question: What is the format of sessions?

Answer: After you schedule an initial phone consultation and determining we are a good fit, we can begin weekly sessions of 50 minutes, online via a HIPAA compliant platform. 

Question: How much do you charge per session? What payment forms do you accept and do you take insurance?

Answer:

Individual Therapy Rates & Insurance
Individual sessions are $150 per session. While I am an "out-of-network" provider and do not bill insurance directly, I provide monthly superbills that you may submit to your provider for potential reimbursement. This typically applies if you have PPO insurance, an HSA, or other flexible healthcare benefits.

Payment & Scheduling
Payment is due at the start of each session and can be made via cash, check, or credit/debit card.

Sliding Scale
I am committed to making therapy accessible and offer sliding scale rates based on individual circumstances. Please feel free to reach out to discuss these options.

Question: How does therapy work?

Answer: Therapy is a collaborative process — a space where you and your therapist work together to understand your experiences, emotions, and patterns so you can create meaningful change. In our sessions, we explore what’s been holding you back and identify tools to help you move forward. Sometimes that means talking through difficult experiences, sometimes it means learning practical skills — often it’s both. Therapy gives you a safe and confidential environment to practice new ways of thinking, feeling, and relating to yourself and others.

Question: Are sessions confidential?

Answer:  Confidentiality is extremely important and never compromised. However, there are a few exceptions due to state laws and ethics standards requiring therapists to report a suspicion of elder, dependent and child abuse or neglect, suspicion of intent to cause danger to self and/or threat to seriously harm others.
