How do I meet with you?
All individual services are provided either in-person in downtown Wausau or through a HIPAA compliant version of Zoom.
Corporate engagements can be either in person or virtual, depending on the needs of the client.
Do you accept insurance?
Sidebar is a self-pay practice, which provides several advantages.
Perhaps most importantly, this policy maximizes your privacy. Written notes and records are minimal. No information is shared with any of your insurers—they will have no record of your receiving mental health treatment or receiving any diagnoses. With limited exceptions, everything we talk about stays within the confines of our counseling relationship.
We do not impose diagnoses, apply labels, or have any limits on duration and frequency of services. This minimizes risk of exposure to you, protects your privacy, and allows for more flexibility in treatment.
In addition, we have the flexibility to provide options for session lengths and frequency, ranging from forty-five minute sessions to multi-hour or multi-day intensives. We also have no restrictions as to session frequency, so you have the option to meet multiple times a week depending on availability.
What are your rates?
For Individual Therapy:
$200.00 USD for 45 minute sessions and intakes.
$400 USD for 90 minute sessions.
Multi-hour and/or multi-day intensives are also available.
For All Corporate Work: $250.00 USD per hour plus costs.
All fees are collected in advance at the time of scheduling, and are subject to change on an annual basis.
What is your late cancellation/rescheduling/no-show policy?
24 hours’ notice is required for cancellations and rescheduling. A reminder will be sent 5 minutes into a scheduled time but the session will be considered a no-show after 15 minutes.
Absent emergencies or other justification, late cancellations/rescheduling and no-shows will be subject to a late fee of 50% of the standard session fee.
I have more questions that aren’t covered here. How can I get ahold of you?
Please feel free to fill out a contact form. A response will be provided within 1-2 business days unless an out of office notice informs you otherwise.
