Frequently Asked Questions

I recommend taking advantage of the free 15 minute phone consultation I provide to potential clients. This gives me a chance to answer any questions you may have and make sure I am a good fit for you. You can send me a message through my contact page or schedule your consultation directly through the client portal.

White Oak Counseling is located in Therapy Space (a shared space for mental health practitioners) inside the Union Park office complex. Once you pull into the Union Park office complex, go straight to the first stop sign, and you’ll see Building 7 on the right. Therapy Space is in suite 230, where you will be able to check in on an iPad to let me know you are here.

Online sessions work just like in-person therapy — we meet at a scheduled time through a secure video platform, and you can join from wherever you feel most comfortable. All you need is a private space and a stable internet connection.

Yes! I provide in person sessions at my office in Sandy Springs.

Counseling sessions are $175 for 50 minutes. Phone calls greater than 15 minutes, written reports and extended sessions will be charged at a prorated hourly fee.

An intake session is a 50 minute appointment with your provider to get to know you and what goals you have for therapy. We will create a treatment plan to address your specific concerns and connect you with resources.

This is a common question, but there is no straightforward answer. Length of therapy varies by client and depends on goals set in therapy and the severity of symptoms.

I am an out-of-network provider. This means that I do not work directly with insurance. However, I am happy to provide a superbill, which is a receipt for services that includes all necessary insurance codes, that can be sent to your insurance for reimbursement. I also accept HSA and FSA cards. If this is something you are interested in, I recommend asking your insurance about your mental health benefits as well as your out-of-network benefits. 

The No Surprises Act is a "new federal protection against surprise medical bills that take effect in 2022. Surprise medical bills arise when insured consumers inadvertently receive care from out-of-network hospitals, doctors, or other providers they did not choose". Under the law, healthcare providers, including mental health providers, must give clients who are not using insurance a Good Faith Estimate of the bill for services.
