A limited number of sliding scale appointments are available, please inquire if you are interested.
What if I can't make a scheduled appointment?
Contact your therapist as soon as you realize that you will not be able to meet. Cancellations must be made within 24 hours to avoid penalty unless we both agree that you were unable to attend due to circumstances beyond your control.
Penalties include full payment for the session missed. Insurance companies will not reimburse the fees for missed appointments, and in such cases it will be the full responsibility of the client to submit payment.
How can EMDR help? What if I don't have major trauma?
EMDR isn't only used for significant or complex traumas. It helps address negative thinking patterns that are created from difficult memories and everyday situations. We can talk more about how this can help you.
