Frequently Asked Questions

Can appointments be in-person or virtual?

Yes! Virtual appointments are just as effective as in-person appointments.

What do I need to bring to my first hypnotherapy session?

For your first appointment, you will need to complete your New Client Intake Form prior to your appointment.

You don’t need to bring anything specific. I recommend bringing an open mind and a willingness to engage in the process. It can also be helpful to come prepared to discuss any topics or concerns that you’d like to address during your session. Additionally, if you have anything that you believe would be beneficial to share with me, feel free to bring them along. The most important thing to bring is yourself, as you are, ready to explore and work towards your goals for healing and growth.

Will my insurance cover Hypnotherapy?

I do not accept insurance as payment. This is what is referred to as a “fee-for-service-practice.” That said, there are some insurance plans that reimburse some portion of the fee for treatment by an out-of-network provider. I suggest that you check with your insurance plan to see if that applies to you.

Receiving reimbursement for therapy costs is at the discretion of your individual healthcare provider plan. Please note, whether you are able to receive reimbursement or not, payment for services with Essential Key Hypnotherapy is required at the time of the visit.

What is your cancellation policy?

Since I reserve the time you’ve set for your appointment, I require a 24-hour cancellation notice. If you do not cancel within 24 hours of the time of your scheduled appointment, you will be responsible for full payment. Insurance companies do not reimburse for canceled appointments.

Thank you in advance for respecting this policy.

What forms of payment do you accept?

I accept credit cards, checks, and cash.
FSA/HSA can also be used.
For ease of payment, your credit card on file will be charged automatically following our session.
Checks and cash payments must be received prior to hypnotherapy session appointment.
24-hour notice of cancellation is required to avoid charges..

Good Faith Estimate Notice:You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your mental health care will cost. Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy services. You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare services. You can ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service. If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
