FAQ
How do I schedule an appointment? You can leave a confidential voicemail at (301)-466-8501. I try to return calls within one business day. We will have a brief phone conversation to see what kinds of services you are looking for and if I can be of assistance. If after the conversation you decide you’d like to meet for an appointment, we can schedule one at that time.
If you prefer, contact me by email (KMGConsultation@yahoo.com) . However, please realize that the privacy of electronic communication is not assured.
When do you offer appointments? Currently, I offer afternoon appointments on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays. I also have a limited number of evening spaces on Thursdays. Available times vary, so please contact me to see if we can find a mutually convenient time to meet.
How much does therapy cost? For 2009, my fee for a 50 minutes therapy appointment is $130. I have some sliding scale appointments for those who are unable to afford this and/or do not have insurance.
What kinds of payment do you accept? Usually clients pay me with a check or cash at the end of each session. You can also make credit card payments via PayPal by clicking the link on the side of the web page. Please note that there is an additional $5 fee for each session to pay via credit card due to the fees charged by the company.
Will health insurance cover the cost? I am currently not a participating provider for any insurance plans, and so I am considered an “out of network provider”. Many health insurance plans will reimburse the insured individual for some portion of an “out-of-network” outpatient psychotherapy fee. Please contact your member services by the phone number on your insurance card to determine your exact benefits.
How long will therapy last? How often will we have to meet? This varies greatly depending on the nature of the concern we are working on. Peoples time in therapy can range from a very brief time (10-12 meetings) or can last more than a year for more complex issues. Generally I prefer to meet on a weekly basis initially. After an initial assessment period, we can assess if meetings need to be more or less frequent.
