Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I go to therapy?
Therapy offers a safe, confidential space to explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences. It can help you gain clarity, develop coping strategies, improve relationships, and work toward personal growth. Whether you're facing a specific challenge or simply want support in understanding yourself better, therapy can provide guidance and tools to help you navigate life more effectively.
How often should I go to therapy?
Most clients begin therapy with weekly or bi-weekly sessions. This frequency allows you to build a strong foundation, develop new skills, and create consistent support as you work through challenges. Over time, as you make progress and gain confidence, you and your therapist will check in periodically to evaluate how often sessions are needed.
How long should I be in therapy?
Therapy takes time and commitment. Just as it took time to get to where you are now, it will take time to reach the growth you're aiming for. While some changes can happen in a few sessions, the deeper relational work we do often unfolds over months or even years. Together, you and your therapist will set a pace that supports meaningful progress, checking in regularly to adjust as your needs and goals evolve.
Where will we meet for therapy?
We can meet in person at my office in Sioux Falls, SD, or online through secure virtual sessions. Virtual therapy is available to clients across South Dakota, North Dakota, and Minnesota, making it easy to connect from the comfort of your home.
How much does therapy cost?
The initial intake session is $260, and ongoing 55-minute sessions are $220. I accept both insurance and self-pay, and I also have a few reduced-fee spots available for those who need them.
Do you accept insurance?
Yes! I'm in-network with Wellmark BCBS, Sanford Health Plan, and Avera Health Plans. If your plan isn't in-network but offers out-of-network benefits, I can provide a super bill for you to submit to your insurance company. Be sure to check with your insurance to understand your coverage and any out-of-pocket costs.
What is your cancellation policy?
I require at least 24 hours' notice for cancellations. If you cancel with less than 24 hours' notice or do not show up for your appointment, the full session fee will be charged.
