FAQs

  • While I don't directly accept insurance, I understand the financial aspect of therapy can be daunting. I can provide you with a statement for submission to your insurance company. This way, you can potentially receive reimbursement depending on your coverage. I encourage you to discuss your particular coverage with your insurance company.

  • I offer both individual and family therapy that is focused on meeting the needs of each client. It's common for children to see me weekly, with parents joining every fourth or fifth session to discuss progress and observations. Family sessions, which can include any combination of family members, are scheduled as needed and can be conducted either in-person or virtually, providing flexibility to accommodate your family's lifestyle.

  • Family therapy offers a unique advantage by addressing not just the individual's issues, but also underlying family dynamics that sometimes influence those issues. By inviting in family members, we can explore these dynamics together, often gaining insights that are transformative for both the individual and the family. This approach can lead to deeper and more enduring changes than individual therapy alone.

  • Absolutely! I see patients via a HIPAA-compliant telehealth platform which ensures privacy.

  • Yes, I'd love to meet your child via my HIPAA - compliant telehealth platform before our first session. This pre-meeting helps set a comfortable tone and familiarizes them with me and the therapy environment. It's a relaxed, 15- to 20-minute chat that's completely free of charge. I'm also happy to give a virtual tour of my office to help your child feel at ease.

  • Preparing your child for therapy can involve discussing what therapy is and emphasizing that it’s a safe space to express themselves. You might explain that I’m here to help and that they can share whatever is on their mind. Familiarizing your child with the concept of therapy through books or videos can also be very helpful.

  • Your first session at Inner Sky Family Therapy is designed to be welcoming and informative for both you and your child. We’ll start by getting to know each other in a relaxed and supportive environment. For families and children, this means creating a space where everyone feels validated and heard. We'll discuss the reasons you're seeking therapy, your family’s needs, and set initial goals. For children, I incorporate engaging activities to make them feel comfortable and part of the conversation. This session is an opportunity for us to establish trust and outline how we can work together to navigate your family’s unique challenges.
