Fees and Payment

The fee for a standard 50-minute session is $165. Payment is due at the time of service and can be made through the practice’s designated payment system. The practice is out-of-network with all insurance providers, though a superbill can be supplied for clients who wish to pursue reimbursement independently.

Appointments and Scheduling

Sessions are self-scheduled by clients by clicking here. Once scheduled, you will get an email with a link to a Google Meet. Clients receive automated reminders and links for each appointment. An AI assistant is present during sessions for the purpose of generating clinical notes and maintaining continuity across treatment. These notes become part of the clinical record and are handled according to the practice’s privacy policies.

Communication Practices

Administrative communication typically occurs by email or WhatsApp. These channels are used for scheduling and brief clarifications rather than therapeutic dialogue. Response times may vary and should not be relied upon for urgent or clinical matters. Session content is reserved for scheduled appointments.

Cancellation and No-Show Policy

Appointments represent reserved clinical time. Cancellations or rescheduling requests must be made at least 24 hours in advance. Sessions canceled with less than 24 hours’ notice, or sessions that are missed without prior notice, are billed at the full session rate. This policy applies regardless of the reason for the cancellation, with the exception of documented emergencies.

Scope of Services

The practice provides outpatient psychotherapy for adults, with a focus on relational, behavioral, and men’s mental health concerns. Treatment is exploratory and conversational, oriented toward insight, emotional regulation, and structured change. Services are limited to individual therapy; the practice does not provide emergency psychiatric care, custody evaluations, forensic reports, or disability determinations. All clinical work occurs within the boundaries of licensure in the state where the client resides at the time of each session.

Confidentiality and Its Limits

All clinical information is confidential and protected under state and federal law. The practice uses HIPAA-compliant systems for scheduling, documentation, telehealth, and data storage, including enterprise-level software and Business Associate Agreements where required. Confidentiality may be broken only under legally mandated conditions, including credible risk of harm to self or others, suspected abuse or neglect of a minor or vulnerable adult, or when ordered by a court. Clients are informed when possible before any required disclosure is made.

Records and Privacy

Clinical records are maintained in SimplePractice, a HIPAA-compliant electronic health record system. Clients may request access to their records in writing, subject to legal and clinical considerations. Records are retained for the period required by state law and then securely destroyed. The practice does not release records to third parties without the client’s written authorization, except where disclosure is required by law.

Emergencies and Crisis Situations

The practice does not provide emergency or crisis-response services. Clients who are experiencing an acute safety concern should contact 988, call local emergency services, or present to the nearest emergency room. Messages sent to the practice are not continuously monitored and should not be used for urgent needs.

Termination of Treatment

Therapy may conclude when treatment goals have been met, when continued work is no longer indicated, or when the client chooses to end services. The clinician may also recommend termination when therapy is no longer clinically appropriate or when attendance, payment, or communication patterns disrupt the therapeutic process. When possible, referrals to alternative providers are offered to support continuity of care.

Professional Boundaries

The therapeutic relationship is a structured, time-bound professional relationship. Social, financial, or digital relationships outside of therapy are not maintained. The clinician does not interact with clients on social media, does not accept gifts, and does not communicate through personal accounts. Boundaries are maintained to preserve clinical clarity and client safety.

Consent to Treatment

Before beginning therapy, clients review and sign documentation outlining the nature of treatment, risks and benefits, privacy practices, telehealth provisions, and all policies described here. Attendance at sessions constitutes ongoing consent to treatment under these terms.

Telehealth Services

Therapy is provided exclusively through telehealth. Clients must be located in a state where the clinician is licensed at the time of each session. Telehealth carries certain risks, including interruptions, technical limitations, and reduced privacy in non-controlled environments. Clients are responsible for ensuring that their physical setting allows for privacy, minimal disruption, and the ability to remain stationary during the session.
