I am an out-of-network provider, meaning I do not take insurance. I provide super bills at the end of each month to submit to your insurance company for reimbursement. I recommend all my clients call their insurance to see if they have out-of-network benefits.

Here is a step by step guide for the process of contacting your insurance provider.

CPT Codes: 90791 (Intake session), 90837 (60 minute session), 90834 (45 minute session), 90847 (Family therapy with patient present), 90846 (family therapy without patient present)

Individual sessions are $205 for 45 minutes.

Family support sessions and sessions of longer or shorter lengths have varying fees.

If you need to cancel for any reason, please let me know as soon as possible. If clients provide less than 48 hours notice and do not reschedule (pending appointment availability for that week), the client will be charged the full session fee.

As with most situations in the therapeutic setting, it depends. Each client is certainly encouraged to practice skills learned in sessions in between meetings. Additionally, clients are encouraged to reflect on sessions. Official “homework” assignments are given on a case by case basis, and are made collaboratively with the client so that we create a realistic assignment for the week. Bridget does not want clients feeling overwhelmed between sessions or reluctant or shameful in coming to a follow-up session when they haven’t had the time to complete the homework from the week before. If a client desires homework between sessions, that is certainly something that we would address, create together, and adapt as we go.

Bridget pulls primarily from psychodynamic, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Relational Therapy modalities. Her approach is eclectic and trauma informed, and she believes in the autonomy of her clients to be part of the process at each step. 

Sometimes clients are looking for a specific modality in their therapeutic journey, and that’s great! I tell clients the most important thing is that you connect with your therapist and have a strong therapeutic alliance/relationship. This is the number one indicator of success in therapy. So I encourage you to do at least a few consultation calls with different providers to “feel out” what therapy would be like with the provider, and whether you connect with them in conversation. Additionally, if there are certain demographics you are looking for in your provider, this may influence your decision too. You also want to make sure that your provider has knowledge in your areas of concern and training in these areas, along with staying updated on the latest evidence-based practices.

Depending on what you are coming to therapy for, sessions look different for everyone. Bridget does not believe in a one-size-fits-all approach, and therefore personalizes sessions to each individual. The first 3-5 sessions are focused on rapport building and developing goals collaboratively with the client. This may include a teen’s parents depending on the circumstances and the age of the teen. After the initial handful of sessions, we dig deeper into the therapeutic work.
