Relationships
Effective psychotherapy is tailored to clients’ needs, recognizing each client’s unique patterns of connections between behaviors, emotions, and thoughts. Therefore, my aim with every client is to gain a deep understanding of their particular experience of themselves and the world, and to use this understanding to facilitate change and growth. I collaborate with clients to set goals for our work together and to design plans for working towards those goals. My therapeutic approach draws mainly from a range of cognitive-behavioral, systems, and emotion-focused frameworks. While working with clients towards their specific goals, I also maintain focus on the big picture, seeking to promote overall wellbeing.
FEES
My standard rate is $120 for a 45 minute session. The first session is usually 90 minutes to allow sufficient time for us to review relevant client history; the fee for this introductory session is $200. I am happy to conduct a brief exploratory phone consultation at no charge.
Payment can be made by cash, check or credit card, and is expected at time of service.
I currently accept the following insurance plans: Anthem BlueCross BlueShield, Medicare, Maine Community Health Options, and the Behavioral HealthCare Program.
