  • Better Being Connecticut does not accept insurance. I believe that I can offer our clients more flexibility with appointments and increased privacy. This also enables me to work directly for you and not the insurance company.

  • Some insurance companies and plans do allow for reimbursement of out of network providers or for the cost of your sessions to go toward your deductible. You are encouraged to call you insurance company to inquire about your specific benefits. I will provide you with a receipt of services and payment that will include all information required by the insurance companies. I also have the ability to accept most HSA cards.

  • Yes! Better Being Connecticut is a virtual practice at this time. This allows for increased access to services, increased appointment availability and increased comfort for clients. I offer telehealth services for residents of CT and PA only. Clients are required to have a confidential space, web camera, and stable internet connection to ensure quality of session.

  • A 45-50 minute therapy session costs $200.

  • During your initial appointment, I will ask several questions including what has brought you to therapy. If time allows I will also gather background information to further understand your concern. Generally, the first few sessions are an assessment of the presenting problem and an opportunity for us to explore your history and its connection to why you are seeking therapy description.

  • I recommend you reflect on the following questions in order to make the most of your first appointment: 1) What made you decide to call for therapy? and 2) What do you want to get out of therapy? If this is a hard question to answer, think about the top three most pressing concerns you want addressed in therapy. Do not worry if these questions are difficult to answer. Merely use them to reflect. We can work on these answers collaboratively in session.

  • Like medication, therapy is in part dependent on the amount you receive. During our initial session you and I will talk about the frequency of sessions recommend based on the goals you would like to work on. Often, therapy occurs weekly or bi-weekly until you have accomplished your goals. At this time, we move to monthly sessions until you feel ready to be your own therapist.

  • The length of therapy is different for everyone. Sometimes people start therapy for one concern and decide they would like to work on something additional. While I will be here to support you at any time, my goal for you is that you become your own therapist. Together to you and I will clarify your goals and develop a plan to achieve them!
