Frequently Asked Questions

About the Practice

What types of clients do you work with?

I specialize in working with adolescents and adults, particularly individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, PTSD, bipolar disorder, and ADHD. I am a Gottman Level 1 Certified Couples Counselor, specializing in working with couples seeking to strengthen their relationship. I also have a strong commitment to serving veterans and military families.

What is your approach to therapy?

My approach to therapy is tailored to each client’s unique needs, combining evidenced-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, with a compassionate and collaborative style.

LTS Counseling is located in the heart of downtown Simsbury, on Station Street. We are located in the Welden Hardware Building, with ample parking on Railroad Street and Station Street, and easy access to Hopmeadow Street (Route 10/202) and Ironhorse Boulevard.

Do you offer telehealth?

Yes! I provide telehealth sessions for clients who prefer the flexibility of meeting online.

Scheduling & Sessions

How do I schedule an appointment?

You can schedule an appointment by contacting me through this website or via email. After a brief phone call, I will send you a link to my Grow Therapy portal, to complete your intake paperwork and schedule your first appointment. Please keep in mind the first appointment may last a full 60 minutes!

What should I expect during my first session?

During the first session, we will conduct an intake assessment, during which we will discuss your goals, challenges, and background. It is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and create a plan that works for you.

How long are sessions?

Intake appointments typically last approximately 60 minutes. After this initial appointment, sessions typically last 45 minutes; however some clients prefer shorter sessions (30 minutes) or longer sessions (60 minutes). This can be adjusted based on your wants and needs.

What is your cancellation policy?

I require at least 24 hours notice for cancellations. Late cancellations or missed appointments will be subject to a fee.

Insurance

Do you accept insurance?

At this time, LTS Counseling accepts private pay clients, as well as those insured by most major health insurance providers!

What forms of payment do you accept?

I accept credit cards, checks, or cash. Payment is due at the time of service.

Confidentiality and Privacy

Is therapy confidential?

YES. Your privacy is a top priority. Information shared in therapy is confidential, except in cases where I am legally obligated to break confidentiality (e.g. safety concerns or court orders).

Will you share my information with anyone?

I will not share your information with anyone without your written consent, except as required by law.
