Frequently Asked Questions
Do you take insurance?
Indeed, I do accept insurance, albeit on a highly restricted basis. Alternatively, for those seeking out-of-network benefits, my unique approach stands out. Leveraging sophisticated practice management tools, I extend support for expediting and simplifying the reimbursement process, surpassing the conventional complexities associated with submitting superbills independently. Your time holds great value, and I invite you to inquire further for a comprehensive understanding of these distinctive offerings. Click to check your out of network benefits using the benefits calculator.
Currently, I take Aetna, Optum (Oscar, UnitedHealthcare), Cigna, Anthem BCBS and Anthem BCBS Massachusetts (residing in Colorado) insurance on a limited basis. Please call to confirm current insurances accepted and availability and be ready to provide your insurance information for verification.
Do you offer a reduced rate fee?
Reduced rates are available on a very limited basis for a rate of $180-220. I would recommend checking into Open Path, a nonprofit directory for clients seeking sliding scale ranges of $40-70/session.
Why do you require a credit card on file?
To streamline billing and uphold the integrity of our therapeutic services, I require a credit card on file as per my business policy. This ensures a smooth process for managing fees associated with late cancellations or missed appointments, particularly when insurance coverage may not apply. Aligning with standard practices in healthcare, I prioritize client responsibility for their scheduled sessions and, in return, respect for my time. Rest assured, all credit card information is treated with the utmost confidentiality and securely stored to maintain your privacy.
What is the anticipated duration of therapy?
Navigating the duration of your therapeutic journey involves a nuanced consideration of factors such as the chosen process, individual goals, motivation, readiness for change, and various other elements. While the therapeutic timeline is inherently unique to each person, incorporating intensives can expedite this process. The duration depends on the intricacies of your journey and objectives. Collaborating with Sheila, the typical timeframe spans 2-12 months, contingent on the issues addressed and session frequency. Some individuals opt for ongoing support or periodic revisitations to address specific needs. Consistency is paramount, recognizing that the time between sessions plays a pivotal role in personal development. Utilize this period for reflection, skill application in real-world scenarios, and gathering valuable information to process in future sessions. Maintain open communication with Sheila, celebrate successes, and stay focused on your therapeutic goals for a well-rounded and effective journey.
What is your private pay session rate?
My session rate is $220 per 50 min session.
$220 for a Full 60-min intake including assessment.
For clients who like longer process time, my session rate is $396 for 90 mins.
If you are an out of network client, you may have benefits that will offset the costs listed above. Distinguishing ourselves from conventional providers, our private pay clients enjoy the exclusive opportunity to take advantage of out of network benefits, facilitated by our advanced practice management tools through our partnership with Mentaya & Thrizer, to potentially reclaim a portion of session costs through insurance reimbursement. If you qualify, Mentaya will file claims and handle the insurance paperwork to make sure you get reimbursed. They charge a 5% fee per claim and have helped people get thousands of dollars back per year. You can sign up using this link: mentaya.com/c/pathtogrowththerapy or reach out to me to find out your benefits for you.
Mentaya and Thrizer’s goal is to save you time and money. It’s completely optional, and as your therapist I do not benefit in any way from your participation.
Full fee is collected at or before time of service.
Reduced Rate is not offered for shorter sessions.
How do you provide effective therapy in a virtual setting?
Tailored for professionals seeking efficient solutions, my virtual therapy services prioritize time-saving and confidentiality. With years of experience in remote sessions, even pre-pandemic, I deliver effective therapeutic support. The collective COVID experience validates the effectiveness of virtual therapy. For trauma-specific modalities like EMDR, the virtual setting ensures a discreet, convenient, and impactful experience, allowing you to maximize your well-being without the need for travel, through adaptive techniques using online tools or guided hands-on methods. Regardless of the modality, a quiet, uninterrupted space ensures optimal engagement and progress in remote sessions.
How do I determine compatibility and if we are a therapeutic fit?
In your therapeutic journey with me, effective communication is key. If there are specific needs or preferences you have, consider sharing them openly with me, as I may be able to accommodate your requests depending on the nature of the ask. It’s important to recognize that therapy is a gradual process and not a quick fix. Take note of areas where positive changes may be unfolding. Are you acquiring new skills, making subtle shifts in behavior, and deepening your self-awareness? If not, it might be an opportune moment to explore whether a different therapeutic approach is needed.
There may come a time when you feel you’ve surpassed your current therapeutic phase or find yourself in need of something more. Don’t hesitate to engage in a candid conversation with me about your progress. For some, I am part of a therapeutic journey for a season, while others may work with me for years. If you decide that a transition is in your best interest, I can provide referrals or guide you on seeking recommendations through your insurance or online directories. The overarching goal is to ensure you feel comfortable and supported throughout your therapeutic journey. I, like all therapists, believes in your remarkable capacity for healing and transformation. Together, we are here to walk side-by-side with you on your path to growth.
