Frequently Asked Questions
Here are some common questions people have when considering therapy.
If you don’t see your question here, please feel free to reach out to me!
About My Practice
-
I work with adolescents, teens, and adults who often appear to be “high-functioning” but feel anxious, self-critical, or overwhelmed inside. Many of the people I work with struggle with overthinking, perfectionism, people-pleasing, or feeling stuck. My work is especially supportive for those who have a hard time slowing down or being kind to themselves.
-
I work with clients ages 12 and up, including teens, college students, and adults.
-
I specialize in anxiety, perfectionism, self-doubt, and eating or body image concerns. Many clients experience these together rather than as separate issues. Therapy focuses on understanding patterns, building emotional safety, and creating more flexibility and self-trust.
Fees & Payment
-
My rates are:
✧ $200 for the initial 60 minute intake session
✧ $180 for ongoing 50 minute sessions
I reserve a limited number of reduced-rate spots for clients with financial need. If cost is a concern, please don’t hesitate to reach out to explore options. -
I am considered an out-of-network provider and do not bill insurance directly.
However, many clients receive partial reimbursement through their insurance company by submitting a superbill (an itemized receipt I can provide).You’re welcome to check your benefits by asking your insurance company:
Do I have out-of-network mental health coverage?
What percentage of each session will be reimbursed?
Is pre-authorization required?
How do I submit superbills for reimbursement?
-
Payment is processed through Ivy Pay, a secure, HIPAA-compliant platform designed for therapy practices. You’ll receive a link by text to safely enter your card information, which is stored securely. Your card is charged after each session.
You can pay with a debit card, credit card, or FSA/HSA cards.
Supporting Teens in Therapy
-
Parent and caregiver involvement varies based on age, needs, and goals. For adolescents and teens, I aim to balance their privacy with appropriate parent communication and collaboration.
-
This is so common! We can talk through ways to introduce therapy gently and collaboratively. Sometimes starting with a parent consultation is a helpful first step.
-
My primary work is individual therapy. Family involvement may be included when helpful, especially for adolescents, but therapy is not structured as family therapy. Coordination with other providers is welcomed when appropriate.
Still have questions?
I’d be happy to talk them through during a
free 15-minute consultation.
Starting therapy doesn’t have to feel overwhelming. Here’s what you can expect:
Schedule a Consult Call
Start by scheduling a free 15–20 minute phone consultation. We’ll talk about what’s bringing you (or your child) to therapy and see if Kind Heart feels like the right fit.
Intake Paperwork & Forms
If we decide to move forward, we’ll book a 60-minute intake session (in person or virtual – $200). Before we meet, you’ll receive secure online forms to complete, so I can come prepared with care and clarity.
Begin Your Therapy Journey
During our first session, we’ll get to know each other, explore your goals, and build a plan together. We’ll also set up a weekly time that works for you to begin your therapy journey with consistency and support.
In-Person & Virtual Options
In person therapy:
My office is in a quiet, welcoming space at The Wilton Center in Roswell, GA, just a few minutes from Canton Street in downtown Roswell.
Virtual therapy:
I also offer virtual sessions for clients throughout Georgia, South Carolina, and Florida which is especially helpful for college students or those with busy schedules.
I currently serve clients in Roswell, Sandy Springs, East Cobb, and Alpharetta, and offer both in-person and online therapy depending on your needs.
