Frequently Asked Questions

1. Do I have to be an artist to participate in art therapy and family therapy?

No, you don’t have to be an artist to participate in therapy. Art is available for you to express yourself such that you feel genuinely heard and understood. The invitation is always available for you to explore feelings and think using art.

2. How long are the therapy sessions?

Individual therapy sessions are 50-60 minutes. Family and couples sessions are usually 1.5 hours long so as to accommodate time for multiple members to participate in a satisfying way.

3. Why does “Heart to Heart Therapist” not accept insurance payments?

There are several reasons for this. When one signs up with insurance companies, it means that your medical record can be audited, thereby decreasing confidentiality. Insurance companies will only pay for diagnosable illnesses, which means that medical necessity will have to be established. Your diagnosis will become a part of your medical record, with which some people might feel uncomfortable. I believe that you should be able to get treatment without stigma or fear. If for some reason you wanted longer treatment, I will have to haggle with the insurance company for more sessions based on medical necessity. Finally, most insurers do not pay for couples therapy unless one of the partners is diagnosed with a “disorder,” thereby establishing medical necessity. I find this practice unethical as it unbalances the couple relationship from the beginning.

5. Is virtual therapy effective?

Research shows that virtual therapy is just as effective as in-person therapy. The pandemic has revealed that telehealth increases access and is as effective. Please make sure you have good internet service, that you have a private space from which you can access therapy and good lighting so that you can be seen clearly on video. You deserve privacy! I use doxy.me as the video therapy platform.

6. Setting up the first session.

Please call 620-502-0090 to set up an initial consultation. I will get back with you within 24 hours. The initial phone consultation is for 15 minutes. If we feel like it is a good fit, we can schedule our first session.

7. What do I expect in the first session?

You will be given a link to the Simple Practice portal, which is confidential and HIPAA compliant. You can complete the intake paperwork in preparation for the first session.

8. Cancellation and Late policy.

Please provide a minimum of 24-hour notice for cancellations. Failure to do so will result in being charged 50% of the fee for the session. In the case of an emergency, please let me know as soon as possible. I encourage you to be on time for sessions as it is in your best interest. If you are more than 15 minutes late for the session, you will still be charged the full fee for the session.
