FAQ

What is a “First Gen Feeler”? 

I coined the term “First Gen Feeler” and created a definition for it, as it appeared to be the population I had been working with more and more. First Gen Feeler: One who is part of the first generation in their family to actively pursue their own healing, feel their emotions, and/or break unhealthy patterns that have been passed down for generations.

How do people pay for therapy?

Credit Card, Debit Card, FSA (flexible spending accounts), HSA (health savings accounts), and/or utilizing out of network benefits to assist them with payment.

Do you accept insurance?

I am an in-network provider with Aetna and offer superbills for clients seeking out-of-network reimbursement. Benefit of Private Pay: this choice allows me to provide more personalized care without the constraints and limitations often imposed by insurance companies. Many clients prefer not to have their mental health care controlled by their insurance companies. They want the freedom to choose their therapist and the duration of their therapy without needing to justify it with a diagnosable mental health issue to their insurance. While therapy is a confidential space, some clients prefer to exclude their insurance company from the process entirely.

What can I expect during a consult?

A consult is a chance to meet to see if we would be a good fit to work together. We get to discuss what brings you to therapy, your goals, and any concerns you might have. It’s also a chance for you to ask me any questions you have about the process. My aim is to create a comfortable and supportive environment where you feel safe and heard. This is a simple ~20 minute meeting via phone or video (whichever option you feel most comfortable with). A consult is NOT a commitment to therapy, and it’s free.

What’s the difference between therapy and coaching?

Therapy: Think of therapy as a way to work through emotional and mental health challenges. If you’re dealing with things like anxiety, depression, or past trauma, therapy is all about exploring those issues, gaining skills, and finding ways to heal. It’s done with a licensed therapist who can help you understand and work through these deeper issues. Duration: Can be short-term or long-term, depending on your needs.

Coaching
: Coaching is more about looking forward and reaching your goals. It’s like having a guide to help you improve your skills, achieve personal or professional goals, and make positive changes in your life. Coaches focus on your present and future, helping you create a plan and stay accountable & motivated to reach your goals.  Duration: Has a set number of sessions or time frame.
