At this time I do not participate in any insurance panels. If a client wishes to access insurance coverage for online art therapy and mental health counseling services, it is the client’s responsibility to confirm out-of-network coverage before beginning services.

Online/Telehealth Art Therapy & Mental Health Counseling Sessions
My current rate for individuals is $180 per 45 minute session and $200 for 60 minute family (couple, sibling, parent/child).

Payment
Payment is due at the beginning of each session unless arranged otherwise. I accept Venmo, most Credit Cards accepted via Stripe and HSA.

Good faith estimate of charges

The total amount you will spend on therapy is dependent on how many sessions you decide to schedule. I do not require a number of sessions and cannot anticipate how many you feel you or your child will need to reach your goals. You are entitled to, and I am happy to furnish upon request, a good faith estimate of charges.

Suggested to have on hand if you would like to access art therapy tools, but not required…
> Mixed media sketchbook 9x12 or 11x14- depending on what individual prefers
> Drawing supplies of choice- oil pastels, markers, colored pencils, watercolor paint
> Modeling clay- it's great to have an oil based one that doesn't dry out so you can use it over and over again. Crayola makes one that has a variety of colors. Model Magic is great to be able to create pieces you want to keep. Some like to have Sculpey too, which is an oven bake clay, it does come in smaller packaging and can be a bit hard to warm up/squish at first, but some people really like it.

Getting your child on board for therapy starts with open and honest communication. Here are a few tips:

• Frame therapy as a supportive tool. Explain that therapy is a safe, non judgmental space for them to express themselves, learn tools to handle challenges, and explore what’s going on inside.
  
  
• Empower their choice. Let them know they have a say in the process, from deciding on a therapist to setting goals for the sessions.
  
  
• Normalize the experience. Share that many people, including kids and teens, find therapy helpful—even adults use it to navigate life!
  
  
• Focus on their needs. Highlight specific benefits like managing stress, improving friendships, or feeling more in control of their emotions.
  
  
• Ease their worries. Address common concerns, such as confidentiality or what sessions might look like, to reduce any fears.

It’s common for families to need time to find the right therapeutic approach or connection. If past therapy wasn’t a good fit, here are some steps to consider:

• Explore different therapy styles. Not all therapy looks the same. For example, art therapy offers creative ways to express feelings and can feel less intimidating than traditional talk therapy.
  
  
• Discuss what didn’t work. Ask your child what they didn’t like about the previous experience. Understanding their perspective can guide you toward a better fit.
  
  
• Highlight the changes in approach. Explain how this time might be different, such as focusing on their goals, using more interactive methods, or working with a therapist who aligns better with their personality.
