Frequently asked questions.

How do we get started?

Everyone starts with a free 15-minute phone consult so we can learn some of the basics like what are you coming to therapy for, availability, rates, etc. Phone calls can be scheduled online, but I can also be reached directly at constellationsct@pm.me or (203) 343-0081.

What are your rates?

45min/ $175

60min/ $210

90min/ $320

I also offer reduced fee pricing ranging from $100-$200 per hour. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if reduced rates are more accessible for you.

Are you paneled with insurance?

I’m in the process of getting paneled with Husky and Optum. At the moment I am a fully private pay practice.

When are you available?

Monday and Wednesday 10-6

Tuesday and Thursday 9-5

Friday 10-3

I offer sessions in-person, online, and sometimes out in the community!

What happens after the 15-minute phone call?

We schedule a 45-minute consultation meeting where we can get to know each other more and learn how we can collaborate. I’ll learn more about your history, what you are hoping to get out of therapy, etc. This is also a great opportunity for you to ask questions that will help you learn if working with me is right for you.

How long and how often will we meet?

After the consultation we move on to an assessment phase, which is typically carried out in 1-2, 90-minute sessions. During this time, I will ask more detailed questions about your experiences so we can develop a plan for what our time together will look like.

Meeting frequency and duration can range from 1/60-minute session per week, to intensives, which can involve several 90-minute sessions per week for a specific timeframe. For example, if you are meeting with me for OCD treatment, the typical duration of treatment is 2/90-minute sessions for about 10 weeks (adults), but some clients opt for intensive options too. Factors that can impact the length of treatment include having a multilayered lived experience such as OCD and trauma, racial trauma and emetophobia (fear of vomiting), etc.

What can I expect in a therapy session?

This depends largely on what you are coming to therapy for. More about my approach to therapy can be found in my About Me. I’m also happy to answer questions during the phone consult.

What is your cancelation policy?

Any cancellations must be made a minimum of 24 hours in advance. If you fail to cancel within this time frame, there will be a $100.00 charge. A failure to arrive for your appointment without cancelling prior to the appointment will result in a charge equal to the cost of the scheduled session. Please note that your insurance will not reimburse for any cancellation or missed session charges. 45-minute initial consultation sessions are non-refundable once the session has been booked.
