Frequently Asked Questions
Certified Sex Therapist

SERVICES

COUNSELING

I am clinically licensed in Kansas and Missouri.  Licensure rules require clients to be physically located in either state at the time of the appointment (even if it’s a virtual appointment).

COACHING

I offer sex coaching, life coaching, and executive coaching worldwide.

TRAINING

I offer a wide variety of online training courses through The Sex and Intimacy Institute. This organization will launch on April 1, so please check back then.  Topics include Increasing Couple Sexuality and Intimacy, Increasing Desire, Sex after Menopause, Sex as We Age, Managing Erectile Dysfunction, Premature Ejaculation, and Learning to be Orgasmic.

PAYMENT INFORMATION

FEES

I like to be very transparent about my fees.  I personally like to know the cost of something before I commit to it, and I feel that my clients should also know what financial investment to expect.  

First Session – Individual (55min): $225

First Session – Couple’s (55 min): $250

First Session – Couple’s (90 min): $350

Individual Session (50 min): $200 

Couple’s Session (50 min):  $225

Couple’s Session (85 min):  $350

PAYMENT

Cash, check, major credit cards and HSA cards are accepted.  Payment is due at the time of service and is auto-billed through secure software.

INSURANCE

While I do not participate in any insurance networks, I can provide you with paperwork to file for reimbursement with your insurance company. This allows us to make the right, individual decisions for you and provide you with the best treatment that is customized for your needs. I have found that many clients prefer to pay privately, in order to keep their diagnosis confidential and to protect their privacy with their insurance company or employer.

PRACTICE POLICIES

SCHEDULING

Clients have 24/7 access to schedule appointments online through secure software.

APPOINTMENTS

Virtual appointments are offered primarily on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.  In-person appointments are offered on Wednesdays at my Overland Park location, near I-435, College, and Antioch.

CANCELLATION POLICY

Once your appointment is scheduled, it is reserved for you.  I kindly ask you to cancel appointments at least 48 hours in advance to give me time to reach out to others to offer them the open appointment time. It is often time-consuming and difficult to backfill an appointment with little notice. Appointments not canceled in advance will require payment for the full cost of the session.  Appointments can be canceled at any time through the secure client portal.
