Frequently Asked Questions
Which therapy approaches do you use?
I focus on approaches that help you heal at a deeper level — beyond just “talking about it.” I draw from evidence-based, trauma-informed approaches, including:
Parts Work / Internal Family System (IFS)-Inspired Techniques
Somatic and Mindfulness-Based Practices
Attachment-Based Therapy
How much is a session and do you offer a sliding scale?
I charge $140 for each 50-minute session. For those experiencing financial hardship or specific uncertainty, I offer a sliding scale so that cost doesn’t have to be a barrier to this work. Please don’t hesitate to ask about my sliding scale options. Together, we can agree on a reduced fee that feels manageable for you.
How long until I feel progress?
It depends. Every person and every trauma and experience is different. Some people feel relief after a few months, others may work longer to fully heal and integrate their experiences. Together, we’ll regularly review your goals and progress.
Do you accept Insurance?
Friedman Gilbert Therapy is a private pay practice. We do not accept insurance at this time and are out-of-network for all commercial insurance carriers, including Medicare and Medicaid.
We can provide you with a detailed invoice (superbill) per request that can be submitted to your insurance carrier for possible partial or full payment.
That said, we do not want cost to be a barrier to your mental health recovery. We offer a sliding scale to patients to qualify.
Which payments do you accept?
We currently accept Venmo and most major forms of credit card payment through our client portal. Full payment is expected at the time of your session.
Do you charge a late fee?
We try to be fair in understanding that life happens and you can’t always make an appointment, but last minute cancelations prohibit us from seeing others who are also in need.
Missing your scheduled appointment will result in a full session fee unless you cancel at least twenty-four (24) hours prior to the appointment time.
In emergency situations, please immediately contact me and if the situation is determined to be dire, this fee will be waived. This fee cannot be waived more than twice.
