Frequently Asked Questions
How long is a therapy session?
The first session is usually an hour and a half to two hours long. This gives the time necessary to get a good understanding of what brought you to therapy and allows us to begin to develop a treatment plan. After that, sessions are typically 50-55 minutes.
Does insurance cover the cost of therapy?
I participate with two insurances only, Blue Cross and Blue Shield. If you have a Blue Cross or Blue Shield policy my services are covered according to you specific plan you have. The extent of coverage depends on your deductible and co-pay.
The duration of therapy varies widely depending on factors such as: a) the issues addressed, b) the ease of addressing them, c) the willingness of involved individuals to join the therapy (e.g., spouse’s participation when there are relationship difficulties) and d) the undistracted attention that can be brought to problem resolution. Ordinarily, it takes about four sessions to get a good feel for how long the therapy might take. Typically, successful therapy requires between eight and twenty sessions.
