Question 1

Does online therapy work?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Virtual sessions are as effective as in-person psychotherapy. Online therapy allows clients more flexibility in location and increases access to services, especially those in more rural areas or who have more difficulty leaving home for appointments. Virtual therapy sessions are offered through a convenient and secure telehealth platform.

Question 2

What do I need for virtual sessions?

Accepted Answer

You will need a private space, and a secure, private internet connection. Sessions can be accessed on a smartphone, tablet, laptop, or desktop computer. Joining our video sessions is made easy by the platform I use. I will send instructions for joining prior to our sessions.

Question 3

How do I schedule an appointment?

Accepted Answer

You can schedule a 15-minute free consultation here (https://proudhearttherapy.sessionshealth.com/request). I also welcome phone calls or email if you have questions. We will talk about what you are looking for help with in therapy and answer any questions you may have about my practice.
​
From there, we will arrange a time for our intake appointment where I will review paperwork, gather information, and begin to discuss our plan to address your goals for therapy.

Question 4

What if I can’t make my appointment, or miss it?

Accepted Answer

If clients cancel an appointment with less than 24 hours’ notice, they will be billed for the full cost of the session except in the case that the appointment is rebooked for the same week (pending availability).  If clients have more than 2 cancellations during the course of treatment/therapy we will address the need for ongoing therapy.

Question 5

Where are you located?

Accepted Answer

Question 7

What does it mean to be board certified?

Accepted Answer

I’m a board-certified clinical geropsychologist through the American Board of Professional Psychology. This means I completed a year of specialized training in providing psychological services to older adults. I completed a review of my work and oral examination by peers, and was deemed to meet criteria for specialty practice in providing services to older adults.

Beyond meeting criteria to have a degree from a university and a license to practice from a state, this means that my actual clinical practice has been reviewed and vetted by those doing the same work within the same speciality.

Question 8

Do I have to have an LGBTQ+ identity to work with you?

Accepted Answer

I welcome clients with all sexual orientations and gender identities, including people who are still figuring that out for themselves! If what you find on my website resonates, and you feel you would like to work with me, please contact me!

All are welcome here!
