All services are conducted virtually/remotely. I do not see clients in-person. We can meet at a scheduled time via a secure and compliant video conferencing platform.
Sessions are conducted via HIPAA-compliant video meeting platform / video call. Occasionally, sessions are conducted via telephone call.
We offer two different session lengths.
The most common is a standard 60-minute session, or the "therapeutic hour." Our sessions usually last around 50 minutes.
Another option is a 30-minute mini session to accommodate busy schedules, tight budgets, people with shorter lunch breaks, and clients who are ready to decrease the intensity/frequency of sessions but would still appreciate consistent follow ups. These mini sessions can also serve as great check-ups or check-ins to address any issues that may arise between sessions.
We offer two different session lengths.
Most often, clients meet with us on a weekly or every other week basis. To start, we strongly recommend newer clients meeting with me either weekly or every other week in the beginning and adjusting frequency as needed. Additionally, we prefer that all of our clients meet with us at least once a month (dependent on treatment planning).
We can discuss decisions about frequency and termination or graduation at any time. While I can provide my feedback or recommendations, the final say and decision depends on you!
Sessions often begin with a recap on how you have been since our last session or where you would like to start. My approach is strengths-based and person-centered, so I am ready to start where you want and discuss the issues you want to unpack.
Together, we craft your goals and then explore the ways we are going to achieve those goals through tackling various action items. Sessions are often a mix of back-and-forth sharing (insights), education, and skill-building or guidance through exercises.
Most often, we will leave you with at least considerations to make and think about. Sometimes, we may leave you with practices to try or exercises to incorporate so you can be active in the healing process between now and the next time we meet.
At your first appointment, it is standard practice to go over the policies and informed consents to ensure that we have details, such as confidentiality, privacy, payment responsibility, and attendance expectations, etc., cemented into understanding. We will also answer any questions you may have for us.
Following that logistical intro, we will typically discuss the reasons you have decided to reach out for therapy/counseling and your overall goals. We may also ask you to elaborate on your intake paperwork responses for more context or understanding.
While this all may sound very serious, boring, and rigid, or awkward, the first session should feel like a conversation! We are simply getting to know one another and getting warmed up to the idea of opening up and being vulnerable. It's also the opportunity to start building a roadmap for the overall course of working together so that our time together is fruitful and productive!
Summit Therapy LLC requires that clients give at least 24 hours' notice to reschedule or cancel appointments.
All late cancellations occurring within 24 hours of the scheduled appointment day and time or no-shows incur a charge equal to the original cost of session, charged to the card kept on file.
Without 24 hours’ notice and over 10 minutes late, the remainder of your session will be forfeited and you will be charged full fee (not covered by insurance) for the no-show.
Please note: Cancellation fees are never covered by insurance.
You will need a superbill generated by the clinician at Summit Therapy LLC. Please refer to this page for more information about superbills.
