I am taking new clients on a limited basis, mainly schedule dependent.  Please reach out to see if I have availability.

I offer both in-person and telehealth therapy options to accommodate the needs and preferences of my clients.

38-52 minutes is the standard pscyhotherapy session.  

Please email me, Shimila@GroundedPath.org,  and I will send you the new client paperwork. Once that is received I will contact you to schedule our initial intake appointment.

I offer competitive per-session rates for individuals, couples and families.  The intake session is $125 and subsequent sessions are $100 for individuals and $125 for couples and family sessions. 

I do not take insurance. Many insurance plans offer out-of-network benefits, and I'm happy to provide monthly superbills for you to seek reimbursement from your insurer if that's an option for you. To assist with this, here are some questions you might consider asking your insurer:

• Do I have out-of-network benefits for therapy sessions with a licensed therapist, and what is the coverage percentage?
• How many therapy sessions are covered annually?
• Is there a deductible, and has it been met for this year?
• Which CPT codes are eligible for reimbursement? (I typically use 90834 for 50-minute sessions.)
• What forms or documentation is required to process reimbursements?

If you're interested in beginning with a consultation to further discuss your needs and any questions you may have, I'm happy to schedule a complimentary 15-minute phone call or video chat at your convenience.

I am open by appointment only. I see clients between the hours of 9:30 am with my last appointment offering at 4 pm Monday through Thursday. I do not see clients on Fridays.  

I require 24 hours advance notice of cancellations and reschedules. Clients are responsible for the entire session fee if cancellation is less than 24 hours.  

I provide therapy services based on an outpatient level of need.  Should your level of need increase and require a higher level care, I may recommend hospitalization or crisis stabilization services. Our local Community Service Board, Horizon Behavioral Health, provides crisis support 24 hours a day, 365 days a year to assess and assist in psychiatric emergencies. You may call 434-477-5000, or their after-hours emergency number 434-522-8191.  In the event you encounter a situation that exceeds your ability to cope you are asked to contact Horizon Behavioral Health Emergency Services or have a family member/friend contact 911 on your behalf or go to the nearest emergency room.
