Frequently Asked Questions
What is art therapy?
Art therapy is a type of therapy that involves self-expression, exploration, and creating meaning through making art with the support of a trained, master’s level art therapist. Art therapists have mental health training on a similar level to counselors, social workers, and marriage and family therapists, and in Pennsylvania, some art therapists are also licensed professional counselors, like me. Art therapy can help individuals of all ages be able to deal with challenges across the lifespan.
Is art therapy right for me or my child?
Maybe! I believe what is most important in any therapy setting is developing a trusting, safe, and consistent relationship. Art therapy may be a great fit for you or your child, and many benefit from having alternative methods of expression, such as drawing, painting, sandplay, and sensory work. Please contact me for a free consult call to see if we’d make a good fit!

Do you take insurance?
I do not take insurance at this time, but I do provide support for those who wish to use their out of network (OON) benefits through their insurance provider. Many clients find that some portion of their costs are covered through their plan. Click here to learn more about simplifying the claims submission and reimbursement process.
What are the fees for services?
For all intake and individual appointments, my fee is $175/session.
What forms of payment do you accept?
I use an electronic health portal that handles all billing services, and I accept payment via debit or credit cards. Once in our system, payment is automatically billed after each session.
How many sessions will my child need?
There isn’t a cookie cutter answer that is right for every child, as this depends on your child’s needs and goals. My goal is to help your child learn skills they can use on their own and “graduate” when they’re ready. A child realizing their own strengths and abilities and being ready to say goodbye is one of the greatest gifts of this profession.
