When Do I feel Better? How Long Will I be in Therapy?

Most people report feeling better in about 12 to 15 sessions, but this is subjective to every individual’s experience. We usually meet weekly and the length of the session is 55 minutes. Based on your individual situation and the goals of therapy, the length of treatment is increased or decreased to meet your specific needs.

Do You Take Insurance?

Wendy is an “out of network” provider in that, she does not participate on the panels of any insurance companies. Most services that provided are covered under major health plans. Wendy will provide you with an invoice of service, in order to be reimbursed directly by your insurance company. It is recommended that you contact your insurance company to learn about the percentage of reimbursement and the approved number of authorizations per year.
