Practice Standards and Communication

The practice is structured around clear scope, defined boundaries, and reliable communication. Whether services are clinical or forensic, each matter is handled with a consistent process, attention to documentation, and a focus on maintaining role clarity in complex Family Court related contexts.

Direct Access

Clients and counsel may contact the practice by email for scheduling, coordination, and clinically appropriate communication. This format supports continuity, reduces avoidable delays, and allows logistical issues to be addressed efficiently between appointments.


Coordination With Other Professionals

When clinically or legally indicated, and with appropriate authorization, time is dedicated to coordination with other professionals involved in a matter. This may include treating therapists, physicians, educators, parenting coordinators, guardians ad litem, and attorneys. Coordination is used to reduce fragmentation, clarify roles, and align expectations across the professional system within the limits of confidentiality and the defined scope of services.


Appointment Options

Appointments are offered in person and via telehealth when clinically appropriate and based on the needs of the case. The format and pacing of appointments are determined on a case by case basis and may change as the work progresses.

Telehealth is used selectively. It may be appropriate for certain individual meetings, caregiver only sessions, coparenting work, and some coordination or consultative services. However, telehealth is not used for joint parent child sessions in matters involving parent child contact problems. Virtual appointments are conducted through Doxy.me, a secure HIPAA compliant telehealth platform designed for healthcare services. Doxy.me is browser based, requires no software downloads, and is intended to support confidentiality while providing reliable access to care.


Response Time and Consultation

Initial inquiries are responded to within 24 to 48 business hours. Some questions can be addressed by email. The practice also offers a 15 minute phone consultation to provide service specific information, clarify process and scope, and answer initial questions to help determine whether the practice is an appropriate fit.

Health Insurance Policy

The practice does not participate with any health insurance networks. All services are provided on a private pay basis.

For clinical psychotherapy services, an itemized receipt may be provided upon request for clients who wish to independently seek out of network reimbursement. Clients are responsible for confirming out of network benefits directly with their insurance carrier. The practice does not submit claims, negotiate with insurance companies, or manage reimbursement requests.

Forensic services are not eligible for insurance reimbursement. Family Court related roles are not classified as medically necessary treatment under mental health benefits and are therefore not covered by insurance.

Reunification therapy is typically ordered or structured in connection with Family Court proceedings to address parent child contact problems and to support a process of repair and reestablished contact.Because reunification therapy is a court involved service rather than medically necessary treatment as defined

Fees

All services are provided on a private pay basis and are handled under a retainer model. An initial retainer is required before services begin, and all time spent on the matter is billed against that retainer. As the retainer is spent down, additional replenishments will be requested to continue services. For current rates, retainer requirements, and payment policies, please contact the practice directly.
