Frequently Asked Questions
How do we get started?
Contact me through this website, by phone, or by email to schedule a free 20-minute consultation. During the consultation, you can tell me a little about what brings you to therapy, ask initial questions, and learn more about my fees and policies. We can then consider whether my services and approach are likely to meet your needs. If we decide to proceed, we will schedule your first session.
During the first few sessions, we will begin addressing the concerns that bring you to therapy while also developing a fuller understanding of your needs and goals. We will set aside time to discuss how therapy is going, whether its focus and direction feel useful, and how our clinical relationship is developing.
What are your fees? And do you take insurance?
Individual therapy services are $230 for a 45-minute session.
Focused couples therapy services are $353 for a 60-minute session.
I am a private pay, out-of-network practice, meaning that therapy clients pay me directly for my services. However, if your insurance plan has out-of-network benefits for mental health services, you may be eligible to receive reimbursement for a portion of your therapy costs. It’s important that you check with your insurance company about how your out-of-network benefits work (e.g. how much of each session will your out-of-network benefits cover, what your deductible might be, if you need a pre-authorization, and if there are limits to how many sessions they will cover each year). If you have out-of-network benefits, I will provide you with the necessary documentation each month to file with your insurance company.
What’s the best way to get in touch?
Complete the Contact Me form on this website, email me at jason@inflectionpointstherapy.com, or call me at (202) 596-7388. Please be advised that unencrypted email is not considered a secure form of communication. In an effort to protect your privacy, I will limit my email replies to logistical and scheduling information.
If you are experiencing a mental health crisis, call or text 988. If you are in immediate danger or experiencing a life-threatening emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.
How does teletherapy work?
Research shows that therapy conducted online, also known as teletherapy, can be just as effective as therapy conducted in person. In most ways, the experience of teletherapy is very similar to in-person therapy, though there is an adjustment period if you have only attended therapy in person in the past. However, online therapy also offers unique benefits over in-person therapy such as no travel time, being in a space you are already familiar with, and general convenience.
As a clinician, I have had years of experience with bridging the digital divide and helping clients through teletherapy. This starts with my use of a teletherapy platform that is secure and HIPAA-compliant. Most importantly, I make every effort to provide you with a teletherapy experience that allows the technology to fade into the background as we focus on the important work of therapy.
Finally, please note that for licensure reasons, I can only conduct therapy with clients who are located physically in DC or any of the 41 (and counting) PSYPACT states.
What is a Good Faith Estimate of what my course of therapy will cost me?
If you are a self-pay client, you have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of therapy services. This is something that we will discuss in more detail during our consultation. You can learn more about the No Surprises Act by visiting this website.
