FAQs

What is the cost of therapy?

Individual Therapy sessions are scheduled for 60 minutes at $220 per session and 90 minutes at $275 per session. EMDR Intensives are priced at a rate of $300 per hour.

Where are you licensed to provide therapy?

I am licensed to provide therapy in Massachusetts and Connecticut.

Do you offer therapy in-person or online?

Both! I have an office in Linden Square of Wellesley Massachusetts where I see the majority of my clients. I also see clients virtually throughout MA & CT.

Do you accept insurance?

I am not contracted with health insurance companies; however, I submit my client’s Out of Network claims through Thrizer to help reduce upfront costs of Out of Network therapy. If you have a PPO plan through your insurance company, it is likely that they will pay for 50 - 80% of each session fee after your deductible is reached. Click here to learn more.

What can I expect from an intro-call?

We will spend 15- 20 minutes getting to know each other. I will ask you to share a bit about what has you seeking therapy now. I’ll also ask you to share what you know helps or doesn’t help based on your past experiences of therapy or psychiatry. I would be happy to answer any questions you have about me or Shared Stories Counseling. Then we can discuss logistics like scheduling and billing.

What can I expect from our therapy sessions?

It’s my hope that you can experience our conversations as casual, warm, affirming, inviting and down to earth. I believe you are the expert on your own life and you already have everything you need to succeed. My job is to ask questions, reflect with you and offer tools to help you find relief and meet your goals.

If you are receiving EMDR Therapy, here’s what you can expect to focus on:

• Identify presenting problems and recent triggers you’d like help with

• Explore negative beliefs stemming from trauma that are holding you back

• Reprocess past memories that have been keeping you stuck in survival mode

• Use bilateral stimulation to make past memories feel more distant and less emotionally charged

• Identify how you’d prefer to navigate future triggers

• Build confidence that you can remain in control, feel safe in your body, and trust yourself to navigate daily stressors
