FAQs
I don’t consider myself an artist. Will art therapy still “work” for me?
Absolutely! No art skill is needed for art therapy to be helpful and fun. I’ll guide you through art therapy directives and prompts, some are very simple and others are more open ended. Together we’ll explore what you create. Both the finished art piece and the art process itself are therapeutic and informative. I’ll help you explore what comes up for you both in the process and in the finished piece. Art therapy is less about what it looks like and more about what it means to you and the conversation and insight it ignites.
Do you accept insurance?
Yes, I am currently paneled with 9 insurance companies and am in the paneling process with 4 others. If you are using insurance, your insurance and benefits will be verified through Headway prior to your first session. Click on the Scheduling tab to be directed to my Headway page. If I do not take your insurance, please reach out to me via phone or the “Contact me” button to schedule a session. After our session, I can send you a Superbill, which you then submit to your insurance company for potential out of network reimbursement. Please contact your insurance company to see if this is an option for you. I also offer a sliding scale fee to self-pay clients to help make therapy more affordable. Please contact me via phone, e-mail, or the “Contact me” button to talk more about these options. I’m committed to finding an option that works for you!
Do you offer in-person sessions?
Currently, all appointments are virtual. Eventually, I will offer in-person sessions, on-site at the studio with access to art supplies, woods, a stream, walking labyrinth, and a medicine wheel. Stay tuned for in-person appointments.
How long will I be going to therapy?
The answer to this question is highly unique and individualized to you and your needs. Some people come to therapy for support on one particular issue or stressor and they find relief in a few sessions. Other people are doing more extensive explorations and therapeutic work, perhaps on faulty core beliefs, trauma processing, or dysfunctional relational patterns and will schedule sessions more regularly. Still others benefit from a monthly or biweekly check-in for ongoing support. How long you are in therapy is unique to you, your goals, and the benefit you’re receiving. You can start, stop, or change your therapy at any time.
