I offer  services in my office, online
and outside. All sessions are Fee-for-Service.

I see clients at my office

​

I also offer online counseling/teletherapy.

And finally, I offer outdoor therapy - Walk and Talk Therapy - at parks and forested areas that are within a 10 minute drive of my office. This includes, but isn't limited to:

I document and bill within an online Client portal

My client portal houses my

           legal documents and clinical documentation

           assessments and homework

           calendar/scheduling area

           online payments

           messaging

It's easy to access once you've registered using your email.

Here's the link for my client portal:  Foster Empowerment Therapy, LLC

Links for resources for Couples Counseling:

While I have worked extensively with couples in the past I am no longer taking any new couples.

Here are a few places you might find listings of therapists that offer Couples counseling:

           Gottman Therapist Search      The Gottmans have developed training for marital therapy based on decades of research.

               AAMFT Therapist Locator     This is a therapist locator for Clinical members of the American Association of Family Therapists.

​

Collaboration and Commitment

I facilitate my clients to maintain self respect and integrity, make good choices, and to grow and heal. I do not 'fix' anyone. I believe therapy is a collaborative process and that it requires commitment and effort from both of us.

Fees for Services and
an important word on insurance

I charge per session rather than hourly. Sessions may range from 45 - 90 minutes. My fee is $150 per session.

​

I require 24 hours cancellation notice, though I make allowances for unexpected illnesses and emergencies. Generally, you are financially responsible for missed sessions.

​

(While I do offer some sliding scale services, all of those slots are filled at this time 7/01/24)

 

I am not an Insurance based practice

​

I work to provide great value to my clients. I found that being on insurance panels actually diminished my ability to do that as I spent half my time on unnecessary paperwork and having to think of my clients in ways that pigeon hole and diminish them, and had nothing to do with giving them good treatment. I do not participate on insurance panels, file claims, nor do I discuss treatment with insurance companies. This is a decision I gave a good deal of thought and consideration and I wish to be clear that I make no exceptions.

You will receive, as required by CMS, a good faith estimate of your treatment costs in the Policies and procedures document in my client portal. I will also create Superbills in the client portal and you may use those to try to file claims if you choose.

Second floor office

Unfortunately, our offices are not in a building that is handicap accessible. My office is on the second floor, up two brief flights of stairs.

 

 

 

Safety, cleanliness and policy on illness

We make every attempt to keep our offices safe and clean. I ask that my clients follow my policies regarding safety and illness. No weapons of any kind are allowed within our offices. If you and/or your family members have an appointment and you are ill, or becoming ill, please contact me to either change your appointment to an online or outside appointment, or to reschedule.
