Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach out at pace.nancy@gmail.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

What can I expect in my first few therapy sessions?

In your first therapy sessions, we will discuss your reasons for seeking therapy and your goals for treatment. These sessions are focused on getting to know each other, building trust and rapport and working collaboratively to identify a treatment approach.

How often should I attend therapy and how long are sessions?

Weekly sessions are recommended as consistency is key to making progress. More frequent sessions may be available, depending on your needs. Our initial intake session will be 60 minutes long, then ongoing sessions will be 45 minutes each.

Do you take my insurance?

I am an out-of-network provider. If you are not sure if your insurance plan offers out-of-network benefits here are a few questions you can ask:

Do I have out of network benefits for mental health coverage?
What percentage of my bill will be covered for these services?
Do I need my provider to fill out an out-of-network reimbursement form?
How do I submit documentation for reimbursement?
How long does it take for my reimbursement to be processed?
How long is the duration of my approved reimbursement period and how many session will I be granted?

I will provide you with a superbill after each session (if needed, upon request) for submission to your insurance provider for reimbursement (if applicable).

What if I have to cancel or reschedule my appointment?

Rescheduling is welcome based on provider availability. If we are unable to reschedule within the same week, you will be charged for the missed session excluding medical emergencies.

I don't live in NY or MA, can I still become a client?

Unfortunately due to current licensing requirements, I am only accepting clients residing in Massachusetts and New York at this time.
