Frequently Asked Questions
Does Included Health accept insurance?

Your employer may contract directly with Included Health. Otherwise insurance is accepted. Private pay is also possible. As always, you are responsible for deductibles and copays. 

Is telehealth private and confidential?

Telehealth is HIPAA compliant and your protected health information is never shared for purposes other than treatment and billing. Make sure you have a private space for your session.

Can I cancel or reschedule an appointment?

My personal motto is 'life happens!' but Included Health expects cancellations 24 hours in advance. I may occasionally need to cancel also and will keep my schedule up-to-date.

What type of therapy do I need?

We will determine together what best suits your needs, establish goals, and monitor progress. Generally cognitive behavioral models of therapy are considered most effective.

Do you prescribe therapy animals?

I love animals and certainly recommend that people care for other living creatures. Unless you are an established client and we have discussed acquiring an animal to enhance your well-being, I decline to write letters for landlords for animals you already own. Sorry.

Homework?

There may be some recommended readings and structured exercises. Openness is essential for any real progress.

How do I request my records?

Please contact Included Health directly to make arrangements.

How does therapy work?

Improvement is often the result of simply being heard and validated, but openness to feedback, self-awareness and developing new skills seal the deal. Healthy habits include good nutrition, exercise, getting outdoors, being connected to others, and engaging in meaningful activities will help you develop and maintain a sense of well-being at all ages.
