What to Expect<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Our first few sessions together will be a chance for us to get to know each other and decide if we\u2019re the right fit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Finding a therapist who you feel safe and comfortable with is one of the most important aspects of the therapy process.<\/p>\n\n\n
“Therapy is an investment in yourself and your well-being.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Dr. Jaci Lopez Witmer, Psy.D.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Clinical Psychologist<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n It typically takes 2-3 sessions to get a sense of how I work<\/a> and how you feel with me. These initial sessions also allow me to determine if your needs align with my specialties and if I believe that I will be the right therapist to help you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sessions are 45 minutes long for individuals. I typically work with people either once or twice weekly. I prefer to set a weekly appointment time. However, if you are unable to schedule at the same weekly time due to scheduling conflicts or an irregular work schedule I will do my best to work with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The amount of time that you are in therapy varies from person to person. Therapy is an investment in yourself and your well-being and a process that requires commitment and hard work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n While you may feel some relief and see results immediately, it generally takes some time and patience before noticing more long-lasting results. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Often my patients meet with me regularly for a number of years. However, some individuals come in looking to work through a specific concern or symptom, and this might require a shorter course of treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n My fee is $330 per session. I am an out-of-network provider, meaning fees are collected after each session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Following each session, I submit your out-of-network claims electronically on your behalf.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Your insurance company will send you directly any reimbursement that your policy may allow. I strongly urge you to call your insurance provider to determine your level of coverage (amount or percentage) in advance. It is my experience that most PPO and POS plans that provide out-of-network mental health coverage reimburse for 50 to 80% of the cost of sessions, usually after hitting a deductible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Please note that HMO, Tricare, Medicare, and Medicaid coverage do not reimburse for out-of-network mental health costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/drjaci.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/DrJaciBackground.png\" "\\"DrJaciBackground\\"")
