Frequently Asked Questions

How much do you charge and do you take insurance?
In private practice I currently take Blue Cross Blue Shield of TN, Aetna, Cigna, Ascension Smart Health, Carelon Behavioral Health, and Quest Behavioral Health. I take insurance through Headway , so please confirm on my Headway site that I can take your insurance and have availability. If I take your insurance, then you will only pay a small co-pay after your deductable (if you have one) is met. Private pay clients pay between $125-$165 depending on income. I currently work Thursday mornings in person and have Telehealth availability throughout the week in my private practice.
At Cool Springs Psychiatry, I have am available 3 days a week, and most major insurances are accepted. They do not accept Medicaid or Tenncare. Please call Cool Springs Psychiatry directly at 615-771-1100 to get scheduled with me and to check your insurance coverage.
Who do you typically work with?
I typically work with ages 12 and older and families.
How long are sessions and how often do we meet?
Each counseling session is 53 minutes long. Frequency is flexible depending on your needs and finances. When first starting therapy, it is typical to come once a week in order to establish the relationship and your goals. Generally speaking, the more frequently you attend, the faster you can reach your goals.
That said, many clients choose to come in twice a month. Clients that have already been in therapy for awhile and met major goals sometines choose to do check-in’s once a month, but that is only because they’ve met major goals already. I do not recommend only coming in once a month otherwise, because it is next to impossible to make advancement when you are always playing “catch up” with your therapist. Alot happens in 3 weeks!
