FAQs

  • Online therapy is just as effective as in-person therapy. Those with time constraints, transportation difficulties, physical limitations, etc. may see online therapy as more convenient than in-person therapy.

  • A free 15-minute phone call that allows you, a potential client, to gather more information about me and Renew Your Mind. It also allows me, the therapist, to assess whether I can be of service to you. A few general discussion points are:

    1. Your Location (MD, VA, DC, NC)

    2. Your goals

      (What brings you to therapy, and what would you like to get out of the therapy process)

      Based on your therapeutic need, we will discuss my approach and what therapy will look like, or other resources and clinicians within my network who are better equipped to assist you will be discussed.

    3. Session frequency

    4. Session Fees

    5. Questions you may have

    6. Your next steps

      Schedule the first session if appropriate and send you the needed documentation.

      Take time to think about what was discussed if you are not ready to decide.

      Review other resources.

  • The clinician sets aside 53 minutes for each scheduled session.

  • Your first session is an intake where the clinician briefly reviews prior completed documentation with you, asks necessary questions that may clarify your struggles from a holistic viewpoint, and will collaboratively set your treatment goals with you.

  • We begin with weekly sessions and alter frequency based on therapeutic need(s). The frequency of sessions can range from weekly to twice weekly, biweekly, or monthly. Sessions are scheduled on a recurring basis with the ability to cancel or reschedule within the appropriate time frames.

  • I have been practicing since 2011.

  • At Renew Your Mind, we believe each person is unique; thus, we use an integrative approach. The most commonly utilized techniques come from Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Integrated Family Systems, Motivational Interviewing, Narrative Therapy, Attachment Theory, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Emotional Freedom Techniques, Experiential Therapy, Psychoeducation, and EMDR.

  • Currently, we see young adults (18-21), adults (22-59), and geriatric (60+).

  • The clinician may be viewed as an out-of-network provider with your insurance plan. In that case, you will be responsible for paying the standard rate up front, and our billing department will provide you with a “Super Bill” to submit to your insurance company. Your insurance company will then determine the percentage of the original investment you will be reimbursed by them.

  • You will be billed at the beginning of your session once you log in with your clinician.

    1. If you do not have insurance, you will be billed the full fee of the session.

    2. If you have insurance and are required to provide a copay, your copay will be charged.

  • Renew Your Mind uses TheraNest. This is a HIPAA-compliant platform where the client will log on to the client portal to pay balances, view, complete, and sign documentation and homework. Online sessions will also be conducted through this platform.
