Currently, we offer virtual sessions only. This allows us to serve clients across the state of Florida from the comfort and privacy of their own space.

Sessions are approximately 55 minutes. Your initial consultation may be 30–55 minutes as we get to know each other and develop a treatment plan.

Plan on setting aside 1 hour and a half (1.5 hr) for every session, as there is usually a wait-time average of 15 to 20 minutes. Do not plan on starting exactly at your appointment time and ending exactly at the 55-minute mark — sometimes we need a little extra time to properly close sessions.

This depends on your specific case — depth, severity, chronicity, and number of symptoms. It is determined during the initial session. Generally, in the earlier stages of treatment we would meet once or twice a week (depending on your case), and then move to twice a month or every two weeks. The length of treatment is not always fully predictable, but after discussing your history during the initial session we can provide an estimate.

No, I do not offer consultations of any kind. The initial 30–55 minute session (billed to insurance) will serve to determine goodness of fit. My initial sessions are not the usual session you may be used to — we spend the time getting to know each other, instead of me bombarding you with questions.

We specialize in individual adult therapy only. We do not offer couples therapy, child or adolescent therapy, or psychological testing at this time.

We welcome adults of all backgrounds including LGBTQ+, military members and veterans, Hispanic, and African American communities. Sessions are available in English and Spanish. We serve adults who despite significant symptomatology function on their own (without caretaker or power of attorney) to at least a moderate degree.

48 working hours in advance notice is required to cancel or reschedule an appointment. Late cancellations, leaving a session due to extended wait time, or no-shows will be subject to the full session fee of up to $200. We will automatically charge a fee of up to $200 for no-shows. Patients who no-show twice or late-cancel twice will be automatically discharged from the practice. Please refer to our policies for complete details.

There is NO commitment to continue working together from either party (patient or provider), as long as we abide by the signed working agreement. As the patient, you have the right to not return if not desired; without penalties — as long as your scheduled appointments are cancelled with at least 48 working hours’ notice.

No. The consent forms are meant to inform you of our policies and serve as a working agreement between your provider and you — but signing consent forms does not force you to remain in treatment.

If you are in imminent danger or crisis, please call 911 immediately; do NOT wait for us to return a phone call as it will take 24 to 48 hours for a returned phone call. For counseling, support, or crisis intervention, you may dial 988 on your phone to reach the Lifeline national hotline.

We do NOT offer outside-of-session brief phone calls, counseling, or crisis intervention. You are welcome to contact us asking for a sooner appointment, and if available we will fit you in for an earlier session. If you need counseling outside of sessions you may dial 988 on your phone and if in crisis please dial 911 immediately!

No — our sessions are 100 percent confidential. Recording of any kind by either party without informing the other is illegal. We do not use AI or other artificial intelligence of any kind to record or document sessions. Confidentiality is broken only if you express that you are going to harm yourself, or kill or hurt someone else.

Your desired person may come into one session to provide information or receive information from your provider at a given point. Overall, sessions will be held 99.9 percent solely between you and your provider. If necessary, a family member may participate more than once in a session — but only for the purposes of providing or receiving information. No processing of life events or family/couples therapy will take place.

DISCLAIMER: The below are important policies at a glance. The below does NOT constitute all of our policies or all details within each policy; it is simply a shortcut of our policies designed for informational purposes.Readiness for sessions: We expect that both our provider and patients are ready for session as if this was an in-person session. We personally commit to and ask of our patients for private, respectful and appropriate environment, demeanor, and attire. As a patient, you may NOT be under the influence of an illicit substance affecting your ability to engage in session. You may NOT be in a moving vehicle (no matter who is driving), with others around, in a public space, undressed or not dressed fully, lying in bed in pajamas, or half laying down. We ask that all patients are wearing a shirt or top, fully dressed, sitting in a desk or sitting fully (no laying down) when meeting. Recording of sessions: Recording of any kind is PROHIBITED. Please note that it is illegal to record Hipaa protected sessions and that this provider and this organization do NOT consent to recording of any kind. This provider does NOT record sessions. If a patient is SUSPECTED of recording sessions, taking pictures of provider or screen, video taping, recording voice, or having someone in the background that is unauthorized, the patient will be automatically discharged from this center. NO QUESTIONS ASKED. This is all considered a Hipaa violation.Maintenance of documentation: This provider does NOT keep or maintain a separate record aside from regular progress notes.Patient wait time: Please note that there will be a usual wait time of approximately 15 to 20 minutes EACH SESSION and that cancelling session due to wait time will be considered a late cancellation. You will receive your full 55 minute session even if there is a wait time on the part of the provider. Please allow 1.5 hours for this session.Provider wait: We ask that you log in at your appointment time and no later than 10 minutes late. If you will be 10 minutes late or more, you must communicate this to your provider by sending a text to 786 868 7017. You will otherwise be marked absent and a no-show fee will be charged. Once you inform your provider that you will be late, your provider will wait for you for a maximum of 20 minutes after official session scheduled time (after your session was supposed to start). What is left of the session will then take place. Cancellation policy/Discharge policy:  We kindly ask that patients provide at least 48 working hours in advance to cancel or reschedule an appointment. If patient no shows or late cancels or otherwise logs in late without informing provider within the first 10 minutes of being late, at least twice within a 3 month period the patient will be automatically discharged from treatment. Verbal abuse of any kind towards provider or secretary will be grounds for dismissal immediately. If you engage in non-compliance as outlined in the extended policies you will be discharged from the center and this includes frequent lateness, not ready for session, asking for refund of a charged no show fee, not following recommendations. Please note that both patient and provider can end treatment at any point as our center policies constitute a working agreement, not a binding contract to remain in treatment. Neither party is forced to or expected to remain engaged with the other if not desired, appropriate, or clinically indicated. Provider may terminate treatment with patient if deemed clinically necessary at the discretion of the provider. Cancellation fee: The cancellation fee is equal to what your insurance would pay for your session. It is usually 120 to 200 dollars and insurance does NOT cover it. The cancellation fee is charged automatically once a patient is marked no show or late cancelled. This fee is NON refundable. Asking provider to refund this fee may result in center dismissal (see above).Rescheduling appointments: In order to reschedule an appointment, you need to provide 48 hours in advance. Requesting a reschedule without 48 prior hours of notice will be considered a late cancellation as provider cannot guarantee that there will be a spot available in the schedule for patient to be rescheduled.AI and AI assisted system: This office DOES NOT use any AI or AI assisted systems to create notes, to document, or to record voice or audio and this office does NOT agree with or consent to such recordings from the part of the patient or any third parties.Technical issues: Please know that if you are trying to log in to your session and having a technical issue you must immediately inform your provider. Any time elapsed troubleshooting will be deducted from the total time of your session and if later than 10 minutes without informing your provider (see above) you will be marked absent and charged a no show fee.Timely communication: Your provider has at least 24 full hours to respond to emails, texts, calls. A maximum of 48 hours is to be expected in this practice during particularly busy times. Patient is equally expected to respond to the secretary/billing assistant and to provider within 24 to 48 working hours. Failure to communicate with provider or respond to requests will result in discharge from this center.Documentation requests: Please note that any requests for records will take approximately 4 to 8 weeks AFTER you have signed an ROI (Release of Information).
