What would beginning therapy be like?

I offer free phone consultations to help determine if we are a good fit to meet your needs. During this consultation, we will talk for about 15-20 minutes about your reasons for seeking therapy, your background, your schedule, and other logistical questions.

I see the first few sessions as a chance for us to get to know one another and how we might specifically work toward your goals. Because I develop individualized treatment plans with clients, these first sessions pave the way for that work as well as help you to feel comfortable in therapy.

What about insurance and fees?

• Individual sessions: 50 minutes, $225

• Couples sessions: 50 minutes, $275; 75 minutes, $412.50

Using your insurance benefits, my professional services are considered an “out-of-network” option. I provide you with documentation monthly that you can submit directly to your insurance company for reimbursement. Check with your insurance company about their coverage for out-of-network services, the status of your deductible, if you need pre-authorization, and the number of therapy sessions covered per year. While it can be harder to use an out-of-network provider, I highly value confidentiality, and the amount and sensitivity of information I must share with your insurance company is reduced with this status.

What is the best way to contact you?

For scheduling an initial consultation or regular session, email is best: amyfuhrmannphd@gmail.com. You can complete the form on the contact page of this website to schedule a consultation or email me directly for other scheduling needs. In an effort to protect your confidentiality, be advised that email is not always a secure form of communication.
