About Therapy
What happens during a therapy session?
Upon beginning a session you may be invited to reflect on the time in between sessions, considering both the successes and challenges.

On a case by case basis, there may be assignments provided between appointments aimed to move you closer towards your personal goals.
What should I expect in meeting for my first session?
The initial intake assessment is an opportunity for you to meet Eric, speak further about what brings you to treatment, provide background information and history, identify your strengths, and collaborate on goals for treatment.
How long is a therapy session?
Intake assessments may run about 55 to 75 minutes on average. Follow up appointments are generally 45 to 55 minutes in length.
How often will I have to be seen in treatment?
Clients are often seen regularly on a weekly to every other week basis. Frequency of treatment is determined on a case-by-case basis with consideration for each individual’s needs.

About Finances
What if my insurance plan is not accepted?

How do I pay for services?

What is a Good Faith Estimate?

GFEs are provided to those who are uninsured, paying out of pocket, or choosing not to submit claims for reimbursement to their insurance provider.
What if I can’t afford these rates for services?
A sliding scale fee schedule is offered to clients who may be experiencing financial difficulties making it challenging to afford services. If you are in need of and interested in reduced rates, an application for reduced rates can be provided at the start of treatment or any time thereafter.
