What We Offer
-
Consultations are crucial for determining goodness of fit for both client and therapist. During 15 minute consultation topics discussed will include reasons for seeking treatment, relevant symptoms to be targeted, and client hopes/expectations for therapy. If Alexander or the client or determine after consultation there might not be the right fit due to Alexander not having clinical expertise concerning client’s symptoms, or if you aren’t feeling the vibe, Alexander will do his best to provide additional referrals to other resources that might better meet the client’s needs.
-
An initial intake session is important to establish an overall clinical picture necessary to provide quality care. This session is mostly a therapist-driven interview and as a result will feel more structured than subsequent sessions, which tend to be more client driven. Information that may be gathered could include:
Mental health history/previous diagnoses
Physical health history
Current Medications
Relevant trauma history/current stressors
Social history/living situation
Substance use history
Possible risk factors
Client strengths
Relevant cultural factors
Before the end of this session the therapist and client will review and make sure they are on the same page about relevant client goals to be worked on in subsequent sessions.
-
After the initial intake, subsequent sessions are conducted in 50 minute increments focusing on delivering interventions that help the client reach the relevant goals they have set. Progress made will be tracked periodically to increase insight to how close relevant goals are to being reached, if new relevant goals need to be considered due to emerging needs or if the clients feels comfortable discontinuing treatment due to reaching relevant goals.
-
If you want a quick 20 minute phone check in between full length sessions or need a letter to provide to your school/employer, etc. feel free to reach out with your specific request.
About Services and Fees
Will fees ever change?
The fees charged for various services may change over time due to therapist growth in clinical experience/expertise, increased operating costs/inflation, etc.
Current clients will be given 2 months notice of any changes in fees to allow for thoughtful decisions concerning their finances and exploring the possibility of a need for a referral to another provider that better fits their financial needs.
Billing and payment policies:
Before starting your first session your credit card information will be registered, kept on file, and billed after session is complete.
In the event your payment method is void or declined, a new payment method must be added and any outstanding balances paid to book further sessions/services. If you are unable to schedule a session due to the above circumstances and normally book a specific date/time slot, that slot will be protected for up to a week before being offered to other clients.
Cancelation policy:
If you need to cancel an appointment you previously booked please leave cancelation notice 24 hours in advance from the date and time of the appointment. Appointments canceled with less than 24 hours notice will be considered a no-show. Arriving more than 20 minutes late to a scheduled appointment will be considered a no-show. The fee for a no-show is the amount of a standard 50-minute session and will be billed to the card on file.
Also, I get emergencies happen! The fee for your first no-show will be waived. You will be reminded at your next appointment that subsequent no-shows will be charged a fee. Your first free no-show will reset each calendar year.
Are you in network?
I accept cash payments. However, after paying for a session I can generate a superbill so you can attempt to get reimbursed by your insurance for out of network care. By agreeing to this you understand certain protected health information, including relevant diagnoses, may be shared with your insurance company for reimbursement purposes. It is the patient’s responsibility to understand their out of network benefits, deductibles, and allowed amounts which may determine if their insurance accepts superbills or if they will get reimbursed for them.
