Frequently Asked Questions

Absolutely not! Individuals and unmarried couples often seek marriage and family therapists for help with behavioral problems, relationship issues, or mental and emotional disorders.

Typically, therapy sessions are once a week, but I offer flexibility for busy schedules, sometimes combining weekly and biweekly sessions. The length of treatment varies based on your needs. We'll discuss progress and evaluate new skills together. There's no pressure to continue; I'm here to help for as long as it feels beneficial.

We do not accept insurance for several reasons. Accepting insurance requires a mental health diagnosis, which becomes part of your permanent record. Insurance companies also decide on the continuation of sessions and multiple people might view your diagnosis. We value your privacy and confidentiality. Advantages of Self-Pay: - No third-party involvement - Freedom to choose a therapist based on your needs - Control over the length of treatment - Highest privacy standards as per Maryland, North Carolina, and Florida laws. Ultimately, choose what’s best for you and your family. If insurance is right for you, contact your insurance company for a list of providers and information on out-of-network benefits.

We accept all major credit cards. A card must be kept on file, and fees are collected at the end of each session.

Our address is: 4082 Barrett Drive, Raleigh, NC 27609.

Appointments are commitments. You can reschedule for the week before, during, or after your original appointment with at least 24 hours' notice. If rescheduling isn't possible within that window or less than 24 hours' notice is given, the full session fee will be charged. This policy ensures consistency and respects both our time.
